Re: DBI supporting ed25519 ?

The authentication itself is delegated by DBI to DBD::MariaDB, which (I guess) in turn delegates that to the MariaDB database drivers. Two issues I find on the interwebs suggest that the MariaDB client packages do not necessarily include the appropriate client authentication plugin library ( Askubuntu, Github ).

So maybe explicitly installing the mariadb client (instead of only DBD::MariaDB) via your OS package manager helps provide the appropriate plugin?

I don't have much experience with RHEL, but based on this Redhat blog entry, where they claim that `dnf mariadb` installs the client, I would go with `mariadb.x86_64`, which seems to be the closest to that.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
