DESCRIPTION

Generate tokens for signing into MySQL/Aurora RDS servers with IAM credentials. You can find details of the process in https://www.capside.com/es/labs/rds-aurora-database-with-iam-authentication/.

Request Attributes

This module adds two required attributes in the constructor for obtaining a token (to be used as a MySQL password):

host String

The AWS RDS instance endpoint

user String

The user of the MySQL database

port Integer

The port the database is running on. Defaults to 3306.

Signature Attributes

signed_qstring

This has to be used as the password for the MySQL Server. Please note that all of this needs extra setup: correctly configuring your AWS environment AND your MySQL Client.
