When using the native fbclient, why can't I use

other config items if necessary)?
Because it's as designed. What problems with it?
Having to construct the config string is awkward, especially when you
already have a mechanism that is used to communicate other connection
properties: that is individual items in the DPB.
Especially given the client itself does use isc_dpb_auth_plugin_list to
communicate its plugins to the server, it is surprising that the user
application can't communicate its intent to the client in the same way.
