CREATE USER ‘manilal\_cfn’@‘localhost’ IDENTIFIED WITH authentication\_ldap\_simple BY ‘uid=manilal\_cfn,dc=idm,dc=genasys,dc=sandbox’;
The Percona MySQL Docker container has been successfully set up. However, I would like to integrate LDP authentication within Percona. To this end, I have added the following plugins:
plugin-load-add=authentication\_ldap\_simple.so
authentication\_ldap\_simple\_server\_host = 10.133.######"
authentication\_ldap\_simple\_bind\_base\_dn=“dc=idm,dc=genasys,dc=sandbox”
after loading these plugins…
I have created user in Percona Mysql - ‘ldapuser’@‘localhost’, identified with authentication\_ldap\_simple BY ‘uid=ldapuser,dc=idm,dc=genasys,dc=sandbox’,
after created the user , i tried to login the percona
mysql -h localhost -u ldapuser -p
i got error like below ,
“Authentication plugin ‘mysql\_clear\_password’ cannot be loaded: plugin not enabled”
I added a plugin to my.cnf, “plugin-load-add=mysql\_clear\_password.so,”
however when the plugin attempted to load a Docker container, I received the error below,
“Authentication plugin’mysql\_clear\_password’ cannot be loaded: plugin not enabled.”
[ERROR] [MY-010901] [Redacted Server] It is not possible to open the shared library ‘/usr/lib64/mysql/plugin/authentication\_plugin’ (errno: 2: “Cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”).

This is the client side plugin: [https://docs.percona.com/percona-server/8.0/ldap-authentication.html#how-does-the-authentication-work](https://docs.percona.com/percona-server/8.0/ldap-authentication.html#how-does-the-authentication-work)
What client version is used?
`mysql --version`
