 Description   

Windows packages since 10.11.0 appear to be missing the auth_gssapi plugin. Documentation still states it is included in Windows packages with no alternative for download as in linux. Not sure what is going on, but it definitely appears to be missing.

auth_gssapi is statically linked on Windows, since MDEV-26715 . Because it is statically linked, into the server and client library, there is no extra DLLs (just like there are no DLLs for mysql_native_password, and others)

Ah thank you, so to use it then I just skip the installation step (I.E. "INSTALL SONAME 'auth_gssapi';" or adding it to the conf file) in the documentation and continue as if it is already installed?

right, it is installed already.

I guess, documentation needs some fixing here, it should mention that since 10.11, INSTALL PLUGIN on Windows is not required , or it would not even work.

Lol, thanks, glad to know that I'm not losing my mind thinking that the documentation didn't actually mention this
