This question has been asked a couple of times out here, but I'm not able to enable cleartext plugin. I'm using mySQL CLI to access an RDS(Engine version: `5.7.26`) instance using the command

`mysql -h $RDSHOST -u <Username> --password=$TOKEN --enable-cleartext-plugin --port=3306 --ssl-ca=<path to pem file>`

I get the following error:

`mysql: unknown option '--enable-cleartext-plugin'`

I installed mySQL by running `yum install curl mysql -y`. But in the logs I see `maria-db` being installed, is there something wrong out here. Thanks in advance.
