I have an RDS I have created with AWS of type postgresql
Under connectivity, i as see it defined a rds-ca-2019
I need that certificate for connection from a Java client application
I tried using global pem, but it seems not to match and failing on SSL connection
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/UsingWithRDS.SSL.html
Where can i get this rds-ca-2019 certificate
The download resource i was looking can be found as below in the attacked link

We need to update/renew the API server endpoint (https://****************.__7.region-name.eks.amazonaws.com) for our EKS Cluster due to some security reason and not able to see any option to do that. We have created EKS Cluster back in 2021 and observed that SSL certification validity is of 2 years i.e. around 755 days. so, we wanted to update/renew this certificate.
We tried to validate all certificate (csr file) from kubeadm, but csr file looks fine here. tried to create a cluster configuration file with certificate but seems it was not working with EKS. Please let me knwo if anyone can help us out to figure out how we can update the kuber-apiserver certificate for API server endpoint access of our EKS Cluster.
We use AWS fargate with a python project. AWS default setup is using a PEM file when connecting. I know I can turn of TLS.
My coworker says he doesn't want to store credentials in the same repo as code. What is the recommended storage location of that file?
Why do I need it when the servers inside a VPC?
Do I need a different PEM file if I create a cluster on AWS govcloud or does the bundle include all I need?
Do I need it if I'm using an AWS linux 2 instance?
Please find the answers:
You can store the PEM file anywhere(same repository, or any other repository where the code can pull from), but it should be accessible to the code when making an encrypted connection and perform server validation.
The communication between the servers in VPC is private, but using a server certificate provides an extra layer of security by validating that the connection is being made to an Amazon DocumentDB cluster.
An Amazon DocumentDB cluster in GovCloud region should have a similar separate bundle for TLS connection.
Even if you are using Amazon Linux 2 instance, the PEM certificate file would need to be stored on the instance to allow the code to refer it and validate when opening a connection.
It is always a best practice from security point of view to use TLS and authenticate the server with the certificate.
Need to encrypt data in transit from application severs to RDS SQL server with SSL/TLS?
I see aws gives the option to make force encryption = true in parameter group with self signed certs.
Is there a way to use customer certs to import into RDS?
Any configuration steps to do this at application server and on RDS?
Appreciate any info on this . Didn't find anything in AWS knowledge base.
Note: Application servers sit behind load balancer.
For RDS SQL Server you will need to use the PEM that AWS provides for TLS.
You have a choice of either:
Root certificate
Intermediary and root certificate
The application server will need to have access to this certificate before it can connect to the RDS instance.
Unfortunately at this time only Aurora supports uploading your own certificates (and then accessing via ACM), you will need to use the provided one.
For connecting and configuring the RDS there is a specific Using SSL with a Microsoft SQL Server DB Instance page.
I setup my ec2 instance and got https working for a bit only to realize I need tls 1.2 on default and in order to do that I had to configure my code to instruct it to read my cert file in the code. Problem is I don't know which it is as there are 269 files in the directory /etc/ssl/certs. I have googled for a couple hours hoping something would tell me where to look to check what file amazon generated for me that it specifically wants. Otherwise im shooting in the dark trying pems one at a time.
secureProtocol: 'TLSv1_2_server_method',
pfx: fs.readFileSync("/etc/ssl/certs/FILENAME.PEM")
}, app).listen(443);
Help is greatly appreciated.
Please refer EC2 instance details in AWS management console.
Steps:
Login to AWS management console and goto EC2 -> Instances.
Select the instance to which we need to connect and scroll the
description which is present in bottom window which will have EC2
instance details.
Check for "Key pair name" , this will be the key pair which needs
to be used to securely connect to respective EC2 instance.
I assume that you got a certificate on Amazon ACM.
ACM Certificates can be used in,
Elastic Load Balancing
Amazon CloudFront
Amazon API Gateway
AWS Elastic Beanstalk
AWS CloudFormation(for email validation only)
The certificate issued by ACM cannot be installed directly on an EC2 instance.
If you want to install an SSL certificate directly on your EC2 instance, you will need to obtain a SSL certificate through a third-party
Therefore, you cannot find any files related to the certificate issued by ACM inside your EC2 instance.
hope this helps.
We Have recently updated the SSL for AWS rds from rds-ca-2015 to rds-ca-2019. Now application working and connected with SSL, but we couldn't able confirm the rds now using rds-ca-2019. Anyone, please update, how to confirm AWS RDS SSL using rds-ca-2019? Below the steps, we followed to renew the SSL.
1. Download the PEM file from https://s3.amazonaws.com/rds-downloads/rds-combined-ca-bundle.pem
2. mysql -h testdb.xxxxxxxxxx.eu-central-1.rds.amazonaws.com --ssl-ca rds-combined-ca-bundle.pem --ssl-mode=VERIFY_IDENTITY -u username -p
3. In AWs console, In the Network & Security section, changed from rds-ca-2015 to rds-ca-2019, Rebooted.
Maybe you can find an answer here by checking which Mysql user is using ssl for connection and how to check ca in rds and steps to update ca 2019 in rds.

In order to check the certificate authority currently used by your RDS instance, you can follow the steps below.
Navigate to the RDS service from the AWS console.
Click on Databases in the navigation panel on the left side.
Click on the RDS instance that you need to check.
The Certificate authority listed in the Connectivity & security tab shows the certificate authority currently used by the RDS instance.
