I am new to AWS Services and I have angular dotnet core project deployed to AWS EB. I am also used Amazon RDS SQL Server Database and AWS Cognito for autherization.
My project was work fine, but after some times I got a message from Amazon Web Services that says
TCP and UDP traffic on port 3343, directionally in-bound and out-bound, need to be allowed in Network ACLs of your VPC as well as in the Security Group that is attached to your Amazon RDS for SQL Server Multi-AZ instance(s).
I enable TCP and UDP traffic on port 3343 in-bound and out-bound as
in-bound
out-bound
but It didn't work. please help me, thank you.
Hi I just found the right answer from aws
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to AWS Premium Support.
From your case notes, I understand that you have received an advisory
email which recommends opening of port 3343 to avoid unexpected
failures in the WSFC service for RDS SQL Server Multi-AZ instances. In
relation to this, you would like to know if self-reference security
group as the source will work. Please correct me if I misunderstood.
To answer your query , yes Indeed, setting the source for the security
group rules as the security group itself , should do the trick here.
This would allow all resources associated with the security group to
communicate with other associated resources.
Further , If you have NOT changed any default rules in ACLs, then no
actions are needed for ACLs .
This means you can open the port 3343 to the same Security group (the sg has inbound role from itself on that port once for TCP and another for UDP)
and if your ACLs are default, no need to do anything else.
for the Security group outbound, you don't need to do anything because it already allows all traffic.

Ive went through the whole start-up tutorial and connect to the tinkerpop3 server remotely from an EC2 that is in the same VPC and get the error
gremlin> g.addV('person').property(id, '1').property('name', 'marko')
Host did not respond in a timely fashion - check the server status and submit ag ain.
Type ':help' or ':h' for help.
Display stack trace? [yN]
any reason this might be happening?
Let's try a couple of things to get you started with debugging the issue here:
Have you tried hitting the /status endpoint? If this endpoint is working, then there is a problem with the console configuration. If it isn't, then there is an issue with the connectivity of the EC2 instance to the DB.
Can you ensure that the EC2 instance has been launched with the same security group for which you gave inbound access to port 8182 on the DB (during step#8 in the setting up instructions?
Please ensure that your cluster and instance status is "available" as observed from the Neptune console.
The recommended way to manage such connections is 2 have 2 security groups:
client - A security group that you attach to all clients, like Lambdas, EC2 instances etc. The default outbound rule gives you outbound access to every resource in the VPC. You can tighten that if you'd like.
db - A security group that you should attach to your Neptune cluster. In this security group, edit hte inbound rules, and explicitly add a TCP rule that allows inbound connections to your database port (8182 is the default port).
You can attach the db security group to your cluster either during creation or by modifying existing clusters.
I was able to connect to the amazon rds aurora database locally, and run queries.
But on production EC2 server, the connection returns 500 server error "SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection timed out".
I've added the same credentials for the database to production, and can see they are being used in the error log.
I enabled the 'allow public access' setting.
I added all the security groups I have to the database (this is probably the problem, I didnt create any special groups, just whatever amazon suggested I let them do).
How could it be working locally but not on production?
Can you check your production server security group outbound rules. if it is connecting from local and not connecting from production machine , so should be some outbound traffic timeout.
It was a security group issue.
The default rds-setup-wizard security group was applied to my database instance, and this gave me local access. I guess it had my ip address or similar as an inbound rule.
I had to add a new security group and add that new group to the database instance.
My new security group needed an inbound rule that looked like this:
Type: MYSQL/Aurora
Protocol: TCP
Port Range: 3306
Source: my EC2's private ipv4 address with /32. Eg: 13.14.15.16/32
unabel to connect sql server to aws , any suggestions ?
remote connection is on , dbinstance and password is correct .
Did you by any chance neglect to open in your AWS security group inbound port (i.e. 1433) to the IP from which the connection is made? Open it to 0.0.0.0/0 if you elect to open to all (be cautioned about security implication though).
You may need to edit your vpc security group options.
I had the same issue and did that and was resolved.

I have followed the guide, disabled my firewall, verified my security group allows access to everything (initially set to public). Still, 2 installs of mysql won't let ssms connect. No idea why this doesn't work

could not connect to server: Connection timed out (0x0000274C/10060) Is the server running on host "posttest.cnmcgcqc8rkx.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com" (52.2.0.231) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
mysql can connect, might have to go with that
ecurity groups are not under RDS, they are under EC2's console. ACL's options are under VPC's console. This is not even mentioned in the guide. Seen someone connect on youtube with my exact settings...
This could be one of many things with the given information. The first thing I would check if you know your security groups are set up correctly is to open the port on the Network ACL Inbound Rules.
EC2 --> RDS:
RDS (DB Engine): I have inbound and outbound open on port 3306 for the web server's security group.
EC2 (Web Server): I have inbound open for 80, 443 and 22(myIP). Outbound is open for 80,443 and 3306, and it needs all traffic as well to function properly.
My question is about the outbound rules of my web server. Why do I need all traffic to be open? Does this have any security concern?
Some people lock down outbound to prevent against data loss. It works better for immutable architecture since you've removed the ability to update packages from public sources.
Obviously you can choose your own security profile; generally speaking I consider this the levels of security:
Port 22 open to the world
Port 22 access by white listed IPs
Bastion host with white listed IPs
VPN (from here down, all using VPN)
Private IPs + NAT
Proxies server outbound access
That's my ec2 security maturity model. I'm sure I missed some- feel free to comment below.
The security group outbound rules let you to specify "destination", not source. Basically you don't need to worry being attack by Denial of Server through the outbound rules.
On the other hand, unless your Web server need to connect out to Internet without restriction, then you set 80+443 destination to 0.0.0.0/0.
Otherwise , if your web server only need to connect to OS repositories for security update (e.g. ubuntu, apache,etc), then you can explicitly specify the repositories IP address instead of using 0.0.0.0/0.
Other than that, there is little risk. Unless you load something that render webpage, e.g. load web browser in the web server that read random webpage, then it make you susceptible to browser/java engine/rendering engine exploit : if exploit can execute something like ssh reverse tunnel, then there is possibilities that attacker may gain access to your web server.
