Ah, that is an interesting question!

The auth_http plugin is included in the Drizzle 7 source release and is
built by default when you just do configure/make. So if you built it from
source you should be able to just follow the manual page to load it when
drizzled starts.

In my Drizzle installation from standard (K)Ubuntu repository it is not
included. All of these plugins need to be separately installed one by one
with "sudo apt-get install drizzle-plugin-auth-http". I actually don't know
what happens then, my guess is it gets loaded automatically once you've
installed it.

About Red Hat / Fedora I have no clue, but it is probably either one of the
above.
