 Description   

MariaDB RDS doesn't support IAM while MySQL does.
Is there something at MariaDB end that restrict IAM support?

I had a look at the MySQL/Postgresql documentation https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/UsingWithRDS.IAMDBAuth.html . It all looks pretty straight forward. MariaDB-10.4 would have minor differences to the MySQL implementation because of the way authentication is stored however it shouldn't be hard to navigate.

Apart from a lack of user demand/resources, I don't see why Amazon haven't implemented this.

The IAM implementation isn't in MariaDB, its in the connector.

Maybe https://github.com/awslabs/aws-mysql-jdbc/issues/264 can help?
