Mysql2::AwsRdsIam
is an extension of mysql2 gem that adds support of IAM authentication when connecting to MySQL in Amazon RDS.
This gem is a powerful tool that enables seamless connection to MySQL databases using the mysql2 gem. It leverages the dynamic password generation feature of AWS RDS IAM authentication for enhanced security and easy password management.
Install manually:
$ gem install mysql2-aws_rds_iam
or with Bundler:
$ bundle add mysql2-aws_rds_iam
To leverage IAM authentication for your database connections, follow these steps:
The default algorithm is Mysql2::AwsRdsIam
's default authentication token generator. Credentials and region are extracted using aws-sdk-rds configurations.
To connect to your MySQL database, you need to create initializer file that applies the patch:
# config/initializers/tcc_rds_iam_auth.rb
Tcc::RdsIamAuth.apply_patch
database.yml
New rds_iam_auth_host parameter must be added to the database.yml file:
production:
# ...
aws_rds_iam_auth: true
If the default generator doesn't meet your needs, you can create a custom one
# config/initializers/tcc_rds_iam_auth.rb
Mysql2::AwsRdsIam.auth_token_registry.add(:custom, ->(host, port, username) { 'your custom logic' })
and specify it in database.yml
production:
# ...
aws_rds_iam_auth: true
aws_rds_iam_auth_token_generator: custom
Mysql2::AwsRdsIam.auth_token_registry
accepts two parameters:
database.yml
call
method and accepts 3 arguments (host, port, username
) specified in database.yml
.Mysql2::AwsRdsIam.auth_token_registry.add(:custom, ->(host, port, username) { 'your custom logic' })
class CustomGenerator
def call(host, port, username)
GenerateMyCode
end
end
Mysql2::AwsRdsIam.auth_token_registry.add(:custom, CustomGenerator.new)
class CustomGenerator
def self.call(host, port, username)
GenerateMyCode
end
end
Mysql2::AwsRdsIam.auth_token_registry.add(:custom, CustomGenerator)
