Is there a way to connect to a RDS database using IAM auth tokens?
When I try to add a PostgreSQL ressource, I can enter a username and password only.
I can't even try adding a 15 minutes token as a password because the column you use to store the DB password is only 255 character long (and AWS auth tokens are longer):
postgres_1 | ERROR: value too long for type character varying(255)
Thank you for your help!
I am wondering the same thing. This would be a great feature (support of the IAM auth). Currently thinking the only way to do this would be via self hosting retool and doing some hacking.
Hey @fierro, Thanks for chiming in on this! Unfortunately, I don't believe this is possible in Retool at the moment 
I'm going to change this post to a feature request to help gauge the interest for this functionality from other users.
@everett_smith I have been watching this post for about 9 months to see if it ever got traction.
My company is absolutely interested in this capability as we are moving to 100% federated access through IAM and we want to do the same for the retool connections. Helps mitigate unicorn/snowflake use cases when everyone with access can be axed at the IAM level.
+1 from me for this! Happy to see it getting some traction!!
Hi @vdelagabbe_alan, @fierro, @iansabey Retool's Postgres Resource now supports IAM Authentication!
thanks @everett_smith
is there any guides what need to be set in the AWS inorder to makes this connection work?
what exactly permissions/roles security groups setting ect?
Hi @Kfir_Yahalom We usually defer to AWS docs for set up specific information, but we can do our best to help with specific questions or errors!
A screenshot of your Retool set up & the response from "test connection" would be helpful. Do you want this resource to have read & write connection in Retool?
Here's a similar question that ended up being related to resource configuration options in Retool
