Select your Aurora MySql database

Host
Port
Username
Database name
Password
Click on your Aurora MySQL instance, You will see the “ENDPOINT” which will be your HOST. And the PORT number in the “Connectivity and security tab”
To Get your DATABASE NAME, go to the “CONFIGURATION” Tab and there you will see your DBNAME. The MASTER USERNAME which you will use as your USERNAME will be on the main cluster’s Configuration tab
Get Username: Go to your main cluster and click the Configuration tab
Once you have all your credentials, you can now connect your database to EazyDi app. Create a connection. Select the AWS RDS MySQL connector
Input all the required connection properties that you got from Step 6 and 7. The Host, Port, DBNAME, Master Username. The password is the one you set when creating your database.
Once you have created a connection, you can now select a table from the list of connection objects
IAM AUTHENTICATION:
First, make sure that your database allows IAM Authentication. Do Pre requisites steps 1 through 3 then Navigate to your main cluster’s Configuration Tab. Confirm that IAM DB authentication is Enabled
To allow an IAM user or role to connect to your database instance or database cluster, you must create an IAM policy. After that, attach the policy to an IAM user or role. For more information, see Create and Attach Your First Customer Managed Policy.
You construct the policy document from the following four key pieces of data:
The Region of your cluster
Your AWS account number
The database resource ID or the cluster resource ID
Your database user name
For RDS and AURORA:
After you have your IAM user created and your IAM policy attached to the user, you must create a database user with the same name as you specified in the policy. In this policy It’s all dbusers. Grant all privileges to the user you created using these statements
CREATE USER mydbuser IDENTIFIED WITH AWSAuthenticationPlugin AS 'RDS';
GRANT ALL ON `%`.* TO mydbuser@`%`;
Go back to dashboard and search for AWS RDS MySQL and click connect
Click add new connection
Choose Authentication as IAM authentication and fill in the required fields. The username used should be the created in step 3, add the access key and secret key of the IAM user that has the policy created in step 2, then click create connection
Verify that credentials and setup are correct by checking if connection object lists will show similar to standard authentication
