Hi Peter, Thanks for the bug report. Just to be clear, are you observing this when using commercial-licensed MySQL Enterprise installer packages? The Windows Authentication plugin is a commercial feature, and the plugin is not bundled with GPL-licensed community packages of MySQL.

OK .. that explains! I use COMMUNITY.

Thanks for confirming, Peter. I'll close this as "Not a Bug", since this is expected behavior and documented as a commercial-only feature at the top of the cited documentation. If you feel this needs further clarification, please advise.

You won't find Windows .DLLs - or the Windows Authentication Plugin in any form - in Linux packages of MySQL. This is a Windows-only plugin, and part of Commercial packages only.

Todd, Thanks for your response. I am using MYSQL commercial version on redhat linux,when I add plugin-load=authentication_windows.dll in my.cnf file and restarted MySQL service and when I query show plugins it shows nothing. And I tried below method and I got error saying authentication_windows.dll is not available in /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin/ . Please let me know if I am doing anything wrong. Thank you, Ashwin
