I've recently setup a VPC on AWS with a EC2 instance and an Aurora RDS. I've assigned security groups and SSH connections with EC2 and connection to RDS seems to work but I cannot authenticate. The error is:
mysql -h <clustername>.cluster-cd00tic6zepk.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com -u <master user> -p –P3306
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'xxx'#'10.0.0.104' (using password: YES)
I've also tried connecting via PHP, similar error:
Failed to connect to MySQL: Access denied for user xxx#'10.0.0.46' (using password: YES)
The application server lives on a public subnet and the rds is on a private subnet, not accessible except by the application server... If that makes a difference.
Most of the tutorials and forums show an instance name instead of IP address when connecting to RDS, is this why I can't authenticate? I believe all of the security groups are good because I can connect, is this an issue with Aurora?
In the end I ended up deleting and recreating the RDS instance and everything worked as expected.

i have existing AWS RDS instance which is old created on back in 2016.
got the hostname and password my-db-name.XXXXXXXXXXXX.us-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com.
I tried connect to EC2 to access that database (Screenshot below)

When i tried to connect, i'm facing the error as follows
Error Message
After # symbol private IP address is different from the EC2 what i seen
so i tried to ping that database hostname(my-db-name.XXXXXXXXXXXX.us-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com) from EC2 via putty and it shows Private hostname which is not related to my private IP EC2.
So i tried again setting Inbound and Outbound security settings to 0.0.0.0 but still same error,
did i missed something?
I am trying to connect my AWS aurora database with pgAdmin 4 and it throws this error. I have tried all the previous solutions provided by the stack overflow answers like add inbound my IP and update pg_hab.conf. It still not working for me. Thank you in advance.
Error facing with pgAdmin
Aurora serverless can be only accessed from within VPC. It has no public Ip address. From docs:
You can't give an Aurora Serverless v1 DB cluster a public IP address. You can access an Aurora Serverless v1 DB cluster only from within a VPC.
This means you either have to connect to it from an EC2 instance running in the same VPC, or setup ssh tunneling or VPN connection between your local computer and the aurora. How to setup ssh tunnel is explained here and here.
Alternatively, use DATA API to interact with your database from outside of a VPC.
Yesterday AWS launched Aurora serverless for PostgreSQL, but it doesn't seem to have the same configuration options as other RDS databases, I can't set it to public facing for example, it forces me to have a VPC.
Now, I have no clue how to apply these VPC things to PgAdmin, I've tried setting the inbound for the security group to all ports and ips but it still won't connect (no server response).
How can I connect to a RDS Database inside a VPC using PgAdmin?
Opening the security group didn't work.
I realize this question is old, but I kept coming back to it as I worked this out.
This solution is similar to #genkilabs solution but simpler.
Steps:
Spin up an ec2 micro instance in the same vpc as the database. You will tunnel through this.
Add the security group for your ec2 to the inbound rules of the database's security group.
ssh into the ec2 instance and install psql (and postgress...) with:
sudo amazon-linux-extras install postgresql10
Verify that you can connect to your database with psql:
psql -h {server} -p 5432 -U {database username} -d {database name} -p
In PGAdmin create a new server connection
Enter the database host, username, and password as usual.
Go to the SSH Tunnel tab
turn on ssh tunneling
enter your ec2 hostname for the tunnel host
enter your ssh username
select the identity file and find the .pem or .cer file for your ec2 instance.
Save and done. You should now be able to connect to the serverless Aurora database from your local PGAdmin.
If you have trouble connecting to the database form the ec2, this guide may be helpful. The same steps apply connecting from ec2 as from cloud9.
EDIT Sept '22: With Serverless V2 you can now select "public access" during the initial create, and connect directly (provided your VPC and security groups allow it). However, it is still recommended for production / "enterprise" use to still connect only though a "bastion" or "jump-box".
Officially, you can't...
Per the docs:
You can't give an Aurora Serverless DB cluster a public IP address. You can access an Aurora Serverless DB cluster only from within a virtual private cloud (VPC) based on the Amazon VPC service.
However, connecting to a serverless DB from a non-Amazon product is just officially discouraged, it is not impossible.
The best solution I have found so far is to create an autoscaling cluster of bastion boxes within the same VPC. Then use them to tunnel through. The great part about this strategy is that it exposes a standard postgre format URL, so it can be used with pgAdmin, Navicat, ActiveRecord or any other ORM that uses typical connection urls.
...The bad part is that (so far) it seems to enforce a 30 sec timeout on connections. So you better get all your transactions wrapped up quick like.
If anyone can do better, I'd love to hear how as well.
I created a Cluster and an Instance of DocumentDB in amazon. When I try to connect to my Local SSH (MacOS) it displays the following message:
When I try for the MongoDB Compass Community:
mongodb://Mobify:<My-Password>#docdb-2019-04-07-23-28-45.cluster-cmffegva7sne.us-east-2.docdb.amazonaws.com:27017/?ssl=true&ssl_ca_certs=rds-combined-ca-bundle.pem&replicaSet=rs0
It loads many minutes and in the end it has this result:
After solving this problem, I would like to know if it is possible to connect a cluster of documentDB to an instance in another zone of availability ... I have my DocumentDB in Ohio and I have an EC2 in São Paulo ... is it possible?
Amazon DocumentDB clusters are deployed in a VPC to provide strong network isolation from the Internet. To connect to your cluster from outside of the VPC, please see the following: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/documentdb/latest/developerguide/connect-from-outside-a-vpc.html
AWS document DB is hosted on a VPC (virtual private cloud) which has its own specific subnets and security groups; basically, anything that resides in a VPC is not publicly accessible.
Document DB is deployed in a VPC. In order to access it, you need to create an EC2 instance or AWS Could9.
Let's access it from the EC2 instance and access AWS document DB using SSH tunneling.
Create an EC2 instance (preferably ubuntu) of any configuration and select the same VPC in which your document DB cluster is hosted.
After the EC2 is completely initialized, start an SSH tunnel and bind the local port # 27017 with document DB cluster host # 27017.
ssh -i "<ec2-private-key>" -L 27017:docdb-2019-04-07-23-28-45.cluster-cmffegva7sne.us-east-2.docdb.amazonaws.com:27017 ubuntu#<ec2-host> -N
Now your localhost is tunneled to ec2 on port 27017. Connect from mongosh or mongo, enter your cluster password and you will be logged in and execute any queries.
mongosh --sslAllowInvalidHostnames --ssl --sslCAFile rds-combined-ca-bundle.pem --username Mobify --password
Note: SSL will be deprecated. Use tls, just replace SSL with tls in the above command.
I can't connect to my Amazon DocumentDB from my amazon EC2 ubuntu machine? I've checked the security of the Amazon DocumentDB and it's currently assigned to the default which has "all traffic".
I've tried the following command, straight out of the AWS instances page although I receive the error message included below.
I've followed this aws guide https://docs.aws.amazon.com/documentdb/latest/developerguide/getting-started.connect.html
Mongo shell command from the EC2 ubuntu machine

The error message I receive from within the ubuntu command prompt is below

Am I doing something wrong? Any help appreciated!
Many thanks,
Update
Amazon DocumentDB deploys clusters within a VPC, which act as a strong network boundary to other VPCs and the Internet. When you are connecting to your cluster, ensure that the client machine is in the same region and the same VPC as the cluster.
Alternatively, if your development environment is in a different Amazon VPC, you can also use VPC Peering and connect to your Amazon DocumentDB cluster from another Amazon VPC in the same region or a different region.
For more information on troubleshooting: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/documentdb/latest/developerguide/troubleshooting.html

Had the same problem.
Availability Zone/VPC/Security Groups are the same for
EC2 instance and DocumentDB instance, but still failed to connect.
For some reason, the US documentation is missing one step that is present in CN documentation.
https://docs.amazonaws.cn/en_us/documentdb/latest/developerguide/connect-ec2.html
All you need to do is to add another inbound rule to the Secutity Group for TCP and 27017 port. This worked for me.
