Synopsis

Calls the Amazon Redshift GetClusterCredentials API operation.

Syntax

Get-RSClusterCredential
-ClusterIdentifier <String>
-AutoCreate <Boolean>
-DbGroup <String[]>
-DbName <String>
-DbUser <String>
-DurationSecond <Int32>
-Select <String>
-PassThru <SwitchParameter>
-ClientConfig <AmazonRedshiftConfig>

Description

Returns a database user name and temporary password with temporary authorization to log on to an Amazon Redshift database. The action returns the database user name prefixed with IAM: if AutoCreate is False or IAMA: if AutoCreate is True. You can optionally specify one or more database user groups that the user will join at log on. By default, the temporary credentials expire in 900 seconds. You can optionally specify a duration between 900 seconds (15 minutes) and 3600 seconds (60 minutes). For more information, see Using IAM Authentication to Generate Database User Credentials in the Amazon Redshift Cluster Management Guide. The Identity and Access Management (IAM) user or role that runs GetClusterCredentials must have an IAM policy attached that allows access to all necessary actions and resources. For more information about permissions, see Resource Policies for GetClusterCredentials in the Amazon Redshift Cluster Management Guide. If the DbGroups parameter is specified, the IAM policy must allow the redshift:JoinGroup action with access to the listed dbgroups. In addition, if the AutoCreate parameter is set to True, then the policy must include the redshift:CreateClusterUser permission. If the DbName parameter is specified, the IAM policy must allow access to the resource dbname for the specified database name.

Parameters

-AutoCreate <Boolean>
Create a database user with the name specified for the user named in DbUser if one does not exist.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ClientConfig <AmazonRedshiftConfig>
Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.RS.AmazonRedshiftClientCmdlet.ClientConfig
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ClusterIdentifier <String>
The unique identifier of the cluster that contains the database for which you are requesting credentials. This parameter is case sensitive.
Required?True
Position?1
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-DbGroup <String[]>
A list of the names of existing database groups that the user named in DbUser will join for the current session, in addition to any group memberships for an existing user. If not specified, a new user is added only to PUBLIC.Database group name constraints
  • Must be 1 to 64 alphanumeric characters or hyphens
  • Must contain only lowercase letters, numbers, underscore, plus sign, period (dot), at symbol (@), or hyphen.
  • First character must be a letter.
  • Must not contain a colon ( : ) or slash ( / ).
  • Cannot be a reserved word. A list of reserved words can be found in Reserved Words in the Amazon Redshift Database Developer Guide.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesDbGroups
-DbName <String>
The name of a database that DbUser is authorized to log on to. If DbName is not specified, DbUser can log on to any existing database.Constraints:
  • Must be 1 to 64 alphanumeric characters or hyphens
  • Must contain uppercase or lowercase letters, numbers, underscore, plus sign, period (dot), at symbol (@), or hyphen.
  • First character must be a letter.
  • Must not contain a colon ( : ) or slash ( / ).
  • Cannot be a reserved word. A list of reserved words can be found in Reserved Words in the Amazon Redshift Database Developer Guide.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-DbUser <String>
The name of a database user. If a user name matching DbUser exists in the database, the temporary user credentials have the same permissions as the existing user. If DbUser doesn't exist in the database and Autocreate is True, a new user is created using the value for DbUser with PUBLIC permissions. If a database user matching the value for DbUser doesn't exist and Autocreate is False, then the command succeeds but the connection attempt will fail because the user doesn't exist in the database.For more information, see CREATE USER in the Amazon Redshift Database Developer Guide. Constraints:
  • Must be 1 to 64 alphanumeric characters or hyphens. The user name can't be PUBLIC.
  • Must contain uppercase or lowercase letters, numbers, underscore, plus sign, period (dot), at symbol (@), or hyphen.
  • First character must be a letter.
  • Must not contain a colon ( : ) or slash ( / ).
  • Cannot be a reserved word. A list of reserved words can be found in Reserved Words in the Amazon Redshift Database Developer Guide.
Required?True
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-DurationSecond <Int32>
The number of seconds until the returned temporary password expires.Constraint: minimum 900, maximum 3600.Default: 900
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesDurationSeconds
-PassThru <SwitchParameter>
Changes the cmdlet behavior to return the value passed to the ClusterIdentifier parameter. The -PassThru parameter is deprecated, use -Select '^ClusterIdentifier' instead. This parameter will be removed in a future version.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is '*'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.Redshift.Model.GetClusterCredentialsResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.Redshift.Model.GetClusterCredentialsResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)

Common Credential and Region Parameters

-AccessKey <String>
The AWS access key for the user account. This can be a temporary access key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAK
-Credential <AWSCredentials>
An AWSCredentials object instance containing access and secret key information, and optionally a token for session-based credentials.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-EndpointUrl <String>
The endpoint to make the call against.Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage. The cmdlets normally determine which endpoint to call based on the region specified to the -Region parameter or set as default in the shell (via Set-DefaultAWSRegion). Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-NetworkCredential <PSCredential>
Used with SAML-based authentication when ProfileName references a SAML role profile. Contains the network credentials to be supplied during authentication with the configured identity provider's endpoint. This parameter is not required if the user's default network identity can or should be used during authentication.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-ProfileLocation <String>
Used to specify the name and location of the ini-format credential file (shared with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs)If this optional parameter is omitted this cmdlet will search the encrypted credential file used by the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio first. If the profile is not found then the cmdlet will search in the ini-format credential file at the default location: (user's home directory)\.aws\credentials.If this parameter is specified then this cmdlet will only search the ini-format credential file at the location given.As the current folder can vary in a shell or during script execution it is advised that you use specify a fully qualified path instead of a relative path.
Required?False
