Description:
In Lo 7.0.0.3, connecting to a local MySQL database, which I've been using for years with LO fails with the following error, after providing the login credentials:
"The connection to the data source %DB_name could not be established. Plugin mysql_native_password could ne be loaded: /home/buildslave/-source/libo-core/connectivity/source/drivers/mysql/mysqlc_general:cxx:-119".
Also, when trying to connect using LO 6.4.6, produces the following error: "The connection to the data source %DB_name could not be established. Plugin mysql_native_password could not be loaded".
In LO 6.3.6.2, everything works as expected.
Also, connecting to the MySQl db is possible, through http and phpmyadmin.
I've changed MySQL's authentication method to SHA256 and sha2, or the db connection from localhost to 127.0.0.1 and vice-versa, but to no avail.

Actual Results:
Impossible to connect to the MySQL database

Expected Results:
Connect to and interact with the MySQL database


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
