Re: Can't find plugin: caching_sha2_password in 8.0 RC

There's no such standalone dll.
Authentication plugins come in pairs: a server plugin and a libmysql plugin.
The server plugin for caching_sha2_password is built into mysqld.exe.
And is visible (as I've explained) in the output of SHOW PLUGINS.
The corresponding libmysql plugin is also built in, but in libmysql.dll.

It is still fully sufficient for you to connect.
I guess there's some misunderstanding here. Please make sure you're running Oracle's 8.0 mysql client library (libmysql) and Oracle's 8.0 server (mysqld) and that you're connecting one to the other.
You could also download (if you haven't done so already) the 8.0's tests and run them and examine their contents. They test the new authentication very extensively.
