Question

iam_authentication plugin is not getting loaded in mysql 8.0.26-google

I’m running mysql 8.0.26-google cloudsql instance

cloudsql_iam_authentication flag = ON

BUT the authentication_iam plugin is not getting loaded.

when I run

SELECT PLUGIN_NAME, PLUGIN_STATUS
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PLUGINS
WHERE PLUGIN_NAME LIKE '%iam%';

I get

gcp_iam_auth

gcp_iam_group_auth

According to ChatGPT, these are Postgresql plugins, not mysql.
