This error indicates that the MySQL Audit Log plugin is not installed, preventing the use of keyring-based authentication.

How It Affects Your App

This error indicates that the MySQL server is not configured to use the keyring_file plugin. This can have a significant impact on the application as it will not be able to use the keyring_file plugin to store and retrieve sensitive data such as passwords.

Additionally, the application may not be able to access certain features that require the use of the keyring_file plugin.

mysql> SET GLOBAL character_set_server = 'utf8';
