Options for providing IAM credentials

To provide IAM credentials for a JDBC or ODBC connection, choose one of the following options.

  • AWS profile

    As an alternative to providing credentials values in the form of JDBC or ODBC settings, you can put the values in a named profile. For more information, see Using a Configuration Profile.

  • IAM credentials

    Provide values for AccessKeyID, SecretAccessKey, and, optionally, SessionToken in the form of JDBC or ODBC settings. SessionToken is required only for an IAM role with temporary credentials. For more information, see JDBC and ODBC options for providing IAM credentials.

  • Identity provider federation

    When you use identity provider federation to enable users from an identity provider to authenticate to Amazon Redshift, specify the name of a credential provider plugin. For more information, see Using a credentials provider plugin.

    The Amazon Redshift JDBC and ODBC drivers include plugins for the following SAML-based identity federation credential providers:

    • Microsoft Active Identity Federation Services (AD FS)

    • PingOne

    • Okta

    • Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)

    You can provide the plugin name and related values in the form of JDBC or ODBC settings or by using a profile. For more information, see Options for JDBC driver version 2.1 configuration and Configure ODBC driver options.

For more information, see Configure a JDBC or ODBC connection to use IAM credentials.

Using a Configuration Profile

You can supply the IAM credentials options and GetClusterCredentials options as settings in named profiles in your AWS configuration file. To provide the profile name, use the Profile JDBC option. The configuration is stored in a file named config or a file named credentials in a folder named .aws in your home directory.

For a SAML-based credential provider plugin included with an Amazon Redshift JDBC or ODBC driver, you can use the settings described just preceding in Using a credentials provider plugin. If plugin_name isn't used, the other options are ignored.

The following example shows the ~/.aws/credentials file with two profiles.

[default]
aws_access_key_id=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE
aws_secret_access_key=wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY

JDBC and ODBC options for providing IAM credentials

The following table lists the JDBC and ODBC options for providing IAM credentials.

Option

 Description

Iam

 For use only in an ODBC connection string. Set to 1 to use IAM authentication.

AccessKeyID

SecretAccessKey

SessionToken

 The access key ID and secret access key for the IAM role or IAM user configured for IAM database authentication. SessionToken is required only for an IAM role with temporary credentials. SessionToken is not used for an IAM user. For more information, see Temporary Security Credentials.
plugin_name The fully qualified name of a class that implements a credentials provider. The Amazon Redshift JDBC driver includes SAML-based credential provider plugins. If you provide plugin_name, you can also provide other related options. For more information, see Using a credentials provider plugin.

Profile

The name of a profile in an AWS credentials or config file that contains values for the JDBC connection options. For more information, see Using a Configuration Profile.

Using a credentials provider plugin

Amazon Redshift uses credentials provider plugins for single sign-on authentication.

To support single sign-on authentication, Amazon Redshift provides the Azure AD plugin for Microsoft Azure Active Directory. For information on how to configure this plugin, see Setting up JDBC or ODBC single sign-on authentication with Microsoft Azure AD.

Setting up multi-factor authentication

To support multi-factor authentication (MFA), Amazon Redshift provides browser-based plugins. Use the browser SAML plugin for Okta, PingOne, and the browser Azure AD plugin for Microsoft Azure Active Directory.

With the browser SAML plugin, SAML authentication flows like this:

  1. A user tries to log in.

  2. The plugin launches a local server to listen to incoming connections on the localhost.

  3. The plugin launches a web browser to request a SAML response over HTTPS from the specified single sign-on login URL federated identity provider endpoint.

  4. The web browser follows the link and prompts the user to enter credentials.

  5. After the user authenticates and grants consent, the federated identity provider endpoint returns a SAML response over HTTPS to the URI indicated by redirect_uri.

  6. The web browser moves the response message with the SAML response to the indicated redirect_uri.

  7. The local server accepts the incoming connection and the plugin retrieves the SAML response and passes it to Amazon Redshift.

With the browser Azure AD plugin, SAML authentication flows like this:

  1. A user tries to log in.

  2. The plugin launches a local server to listen to incoming connections on the localhost.

  3. The plugin launches a web browser to request an authorization code from the Azure AD oauth2/authorize endpoint.

  4. The web browser follows the generated link over HTTPS and prompts the user to enter credentials. The link is generated using configuration properties, such as tenant and client_id.

  5. After the user authenticates and grants consent, the Azure AD oauth2/authorize endpoint returns and sends a response over HTTPS with the authorization code to the indicated redirect_uri.

  6. The web browser moves the response message with the SAML response to the indicated redirect_uri.

  7. The local server accepts the incoming connection and the plugin requests and retrieves the authorization code and sends a POST request to the Azure AD oauth2/token endpoint.

  8. The Azure AD oauth2/token endpoint returns a response with an access token to the indicated redirect_uri.

  9. The plugin retrieves the SAML response and passes it to Amazon Redshift.

See the following sections:

        }
    ]
}

    This policy grants permissions as follows:

    • The first section grants permission to the GetClusterCredentials API operation to get temporary credentials for the specified cluster. In this example, the resource is cluster-identifier with database dev, in account 123456789012, and in AWS Region us-west-1. The ${redshift:DbUser} clause allows only users that match the DbUser value specified in Azure AD to connect.

    • The condition clause enforces that only certain users get temporary credentials. These are users under the role specified by the role unique ID AROAJ2UCCR6DPCEXAMPLE in the IAM account identified by an email address in your company's email domain. For more information about unique IDs, see Unique IDs in the IAM User Guide.

      Your setup with your IdP (in this case, Azure AD) determines how the condition clause is written. If your employee's email is johndoe@example.com, first set ${redshift:DbUser} to the super field that matches the employee's user name johndoe. Then, to make this condition work, set the AWS SAML RoleSessionName field to the super field that matches the employee’s email johndoe@example.com. When you take this approach, consider the following:

      • If you set ${redshift:DbUser} to be the employee's email, then remove the @example.com in the example JSON to match the RoleSessionName.

      • If you set the RoleSessionId to be just the employee's user name, then remove the @example.com in the example to match the RoleSessionName.

      • In the example JSON, the ${redshift:DbUser} and RoleSessionName are both set to the employee's email. This example JSON uses the Amazon Redshift database user name with @example.com to sign the user in to access the cluster.

    • The second section grants permission to create a dbuser name in the specified cluster. In this example JSON, it restricts creation to ${redshift:DbUser}.

    • The third section grants permission to specify which dbgroup a user can join. In this example JSON, a user can join the my_dbgroup group in the specified cluster.

    • The fourth section grants permission to actions the user can do on all resources. In this example JSON, it allows users to call redshift:DescribeClusters to get cluster information such as the cluster endpoint, AWS Region, and port. It also allows users to call iam:ListRoles to check which roles a user can assume.

To set up JDBC for authentication to Microsoft Azure AD

  • Configure your database client to connect to your cluster through JDBC using your Azure AD single sign-on.

    You can use any client that uses a JDBC driver to connect using Azure AD single sign-on or use a language like Java to connect using a script. For installation and configuration information, see Configuring a connection for JDBC driver version 2.1 for Amazon Redshift.

    For example, you can use SQLWorkbench/J as the client. When you configure SQLWorkbench/J, the URL of your database uses the following format.

    jdbc:redshift:iam://cluster-identifier:us-west-1/dev

    If you use SQLWorkbench/J as the client, take the following steps:

    1. Start SQL Workbench/J. On the Select Connection Profile page, add a Profile Group called AzureAuth.

    2. For Connection Profile, enter Azure.

    3. Choose Manage Drivers, and choose Amazon Redshift. Choose the Open Folder icon next to Library, then choose the appropriate JDBC .jar file.

    4. On the Select Connection Profile page, add information to the connection profile as follows:

      • For User, enter your Microsoft Azure user name. This is the user name of the Microsoft Azure account that you are using for single sign-on that has permission to the cluster that you are trying to authenticate using.

      • For Password, enter your Microsoft Azure password.

      • For Drivers, choose Amazon Redshift (com.amazon.redshift.jdbc.Driver).

      • For URL, enter jdbc:redshift:iam//your-cluster-identifier:your-cluster-region/your-database-name.

    5. Choose Extended Properties to add additional information to the connection properties, as described following.

      For Azure AD single sign-on configuration, add additional information as follows:

To troubleshoot issues with the Browser Azure AD plugin

  1. To use the Browser Azure AD plugin, you must set the reply URL specified in the request to match the reply URL configured for your application.

    Navigate to the Set up Single Sign-On with SAML page on the Microsoft Azure portal. Then check the Reply URL is set to http://localhost/redshift/.

  2. If you get an IdP tenant error, verify that the IdP Tenant name matches the domain name you initially used to set up the Active Directory in Microsoft Azure.

    On Windows, navigate to the Connection Settings section of the Amazon Redshift ODBC DSN Setup page. Then check the tenant name of your company configured on your IdP (Azure) matches the domain name you initially used to set up the Active Directory in Microsoft Azure.

    On macOS and Linux, find the odbc.ini file. Then check the tenant name of your company configured on your IdP (Azure) matches the domain name you initially used to set up the Active Directory in Microsoft Azure.

  3. If you get an error that the reply URL specified in the request does not match the reply URLs configured for your application, verify that the Redirect URIs is the same as the reply URL.

    Navigate to the App registration page of your application on the Microsoft Azure portal. Then check the Redirect URIs matches the reply URL.
