    Description

      The default value for connector_plugindir is /var/lib/plugin.

      https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-maxscale-23-mariadb-maxscale-configuration-usage-scenarios/#connector_plugindir

      I think that the default should be changed to the location where the MariaDB-common package installs authentication plugins on the specific OS. On RHEL/CentOS, that's /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin/:

      [ec2-user@ip-172-30-0-106 ~]$ sudo rpm -q MariaDB-common
      		 
      MariaDB-common-10.3.12-1.el7.centos.x86_64
      		 
      [ec2-user@ip-172-30-0-106 ~]$ sudo rpm -q MariaDB-common --list | grep "plugin"
      		 
      /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin
      		 
      /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin/auth_gssapi_client.so
      		 
      /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin/caching_sha2_password.so
      		 
      /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin/client_ed25519.so
      		 
      /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin/dialog.so
      		 
      /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin/mysql_clear_password.so
      		 
      /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin/sha256_password.so

      Otherwise, users can see errors like MXS-2293.
