I solved this by deleting MariaDB and downloading XAMPP

I’m running a standalone MariaDB instance (version 11.3) and using a password for the root account (which I use for local dev).

I got this when I didn’t specify a password in the connection string.

Not sure exactly why, because if I execute SHOW PLUGINS the gssapi plugin shows as active.

This worked for me.

Deleting MariaDB seems to be the way

You need to hit advance database options and enter the password that you made when you installed MariaDB and it will fix the error message assuming you installed MariaDB.

hit advanced database options where?

To solve this " Database connection failed: Server requests authentication using unknown plugin auth_gssapi_client" you need to add your database password that you set while installing MariaDB when you are running the recipe by clicking advanced options above the run recipe button.

Or you can use xampp…

TL;DR

DO: Enter your database/root password when running the recipe deployer(duh)

DON’T: Delete MariaDB (database go bybye)
