Description

Testing the new Oracle MySQL Shell DBConnection.
Our server is on AWS and requires a token for password which we usually copy/paste as it changes frequently.
However I can't use a clear text password.

Research direction

The report names the Oracle MySQL Shell DBConnection and an AWS server requiring a changing token, but no repository file or test. Start by reproducing the mysql_clear_password loading error in that connection path and trace where plugin enablement is handled. Done is not defined: the issue does not say whether to fix support or document a limitation.
