STANDARD AUTHENTICATION:
Log in to your AWS account console.
On the search bar type RDS and select the RDS service
Once you are in the RDS service page, Click on Databases tab on the side bar to see all your databases.
Select your RDS PostgreSQL database
To Connect your Database to EazyDi app using the STANDARD authentication, you will need:
Host
Port
Username
Database name
Password
Once you have clicked your RDS PostgreSQL database, You will see the “ENDPOINT” which will be your HOST. And the PORT number
To Get your USERNAME and DATABASE NAME, go to the “CONFIGURATION” Tab and there you will see your DBNAME and MASTER USERNAME which you will use as your USERNAME and DATABASE NAME
Once you have all your credentials, you can now connect your database to EazyDi app. Create a connection. Select the AWS RDS PostgreSQL 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. *Note that you will input the DBNAME in the “Database” field
Once you have created a connection, you can now select a table from the list of connection objects
IAM AUTHENTICATION:
References:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/UsingWithRDS.IAMDBAuth.html
First, make sure that your database allows IAM Authentication. Do Pre requisites steps 1 through 3 then Navigate to 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:
After you create your IAM user and attach your IAM policy to the user, create a database user with the same name that you specified in the policy. To use IAM authentication with PostgreSQL, connect to the database cluster, create the database user, and grant them the rds_iam role. You can connect as any user that has CREATE USER permissions and execute the following statements:
CREATE USER mydbuser WITH LOGIN;
GRANT rds_iam TO mydbuser;
Go back to dashboard and search for AWS RDS Postgresql 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 stanard authentication
