I got a notification from AWS that I need to update my SSL/TLS cert for my RDS instances by 2/5/2020 (As seen here). I don't use SSL/TLS and I understand that I still have to do this, but I can do it without having to restart with the following command:
aws rds modify-db-instance --db-instance-identifier <myinstance> --ca-certificate-identifier rds-ca-2019 --no-certificate-rotation-restart --region us-east-1
After running this for one of my db instances, I got a json output with some details about the instance. Is there a way to verify that --no-certificate-rotation-restart was applied to the instance?
You can find out what SSL/TLS certificate is in use using the RDS console > Databases > Connectivity & security.
It will include something like:
Certificate authority
rds-ca-2019
Certificate authority date
Aug 22nd, 2024

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.
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 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.
I recently received an email regarding a required update to my RDS Certificate Authority.
The instructions on the RDS side seems straight forward: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/UsingWithRDS.SSL-certificate-rotation.html
However on step 4 there was an important message, "When you schedule this operation, make sure that you have updated your client-side trust store beforehand."
I cant seem to find any information about updating my server which connects to RDS for the CA update.
My Setup is EC2 instances on Beanstalk.
Does anyone know how/what I am supposed to do?
Thank you.

Basically, the installation of certification is only required when you use the SSL connection from your application to the RDS server. Regardless of the SSL connection, it is recommended to update the certificate of your server but it is not necessary when you did not use the SSL connection to the RDS.
Server-side Usage
When you use the SSL connection, you should change the certificate of the RDS server as soon as possible. Go to the RDS console, then you can find the Certificate update menu from the left menu list. Find your DB cluster, check and update your SSL right now or reserve the update for the next maintenance.
Client-side Usage
The details about the SSL certificate are noted in the documentation. From here, you can download the root CA certificate of rds 2019. The link is below.
https://s3.amazonaws.com/rds-downloads/rds-ca-2019-root.pem
This CA certificate is used to connect the rds server, e.g.
mysql -h myinstance.c9akciq32.rds-us-east-1.amazonaws.com
--ssl-ca=[full path]rds-combined-ca-bundle.pem --ssl-mode=VERIFY_IDENTITY
or add it to the Trusted Root CA for the client OS.
For example in Windows, you can run certmgr.msc and right-click the trusted root ca, import this certificate. In Mac, open keychain access and import this certificate. This is an option.
In order to change your CA Certificate on an Elastic Beanstalk environment by Amazon (AWS) do the following:
Log in to your console (https://console.aws.amazon.com/)
Click services and search for "RDS"
Inside RDS (RDS is where the databases from Beanstalk lives even though they are directly attached to the Beanstalk environment) click "Certificate Update" down in the right corner (there will be a very read notification on the link)
If you have any certificates to upgrade, they will show up here.
Click the RDS instance name (the weird aws name of the database server) aka "DB identifier"
(Well inside this you can see some more info about it under configuration), for instance your db username which could help you identify the instance if you have many and forgot to rename them.
Click Actions > Upgrade now (this will reboot your instance now) OR Actions > Upgrade at next window (choose this if you have a lot of traffic and many users, so it will be less disruptive ie not stop in the middle of the day but in the night according to the maintenance schedule of your location/server)
That's it. You do not need to install anything in your Beanstalk environment.
This is how we are managing SSL communication from Elastic Beanstalk to an external RDS PostgreSQL database. We add the following config file to .ebextensions (.ebextensions/rds.config):
commands:
01-create-folder:
command: mkdir -p /home/webapp/.postgresql
02-download-cert:
command: aws s3 cp s3://rds-downloads/rds-ca-2019-root.pem /home/webapp/.postgresql/root.crt
03-change-owner:
command: chown webapp:webapp /home/webapp/.postgresql/root.crt
04-change-mode:
command: chmod 400 /home/webapp/.postgresql/root.crt
The file downloads the certificate from the public S3 folder and places in the .postgresql folder as the root certificate. We are having a Java application and the JDBC driver successfully connects to RDS with SSL enabled.
I am trying to connect to AWS QuickSight with AWS EMR via Spark JDBC.
I gave hostname of AWS EMR Master node and Port 18080, but I am not sure about the username and password.
https://i.stack.imgur.com/66Acv.png
Even when i click on validate i am getting the below error:
[Simba]SparkJDBCDriver Error initialized or created
transport for authentication: javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Unrecognized
SSL message, plaintext connection?.
Couldnt find anywhere on what needs to be inputted in the fields. Any help would be appreciated.
I figured out. here are the steps:
Start thriftserver in EMR server.
sudo /usr/lib/spark/sbin/start-thriftserver.sh
The port for Spark Thriftserver will be : 10001
Either enable this port in EMR inbound setting or use SSH Tunnel to connect to spark via JDBC.
Username and password could be anything.
SSL needs to be unchecked in QuickSight to connect.
