iam database auth

IAM Database Authentication

Requirements

• ability to create an initial MFA-enabled AWS Session
  • aws client
  • MFA
• aws-vault
• postgresql client

Notes/Considerations

• The following snippets are written in bash
• Some of the following snippets assume that you are generally using ZSH
• aws-vault configuration for MFA serial assumes an older convention for MFA devices

Sample Generated aws-vault Configuration

#!/usr/bin/env bash

read -p "Enter your CMS EUA ID: " CMS_EUA_ID
echo "export CMS_EUA_ID=${CMS_EUA_ID}" >> ~/.zshrc

if AWS_ACCOUNT_ID="$(aws sts get-caller-identity --query 'Account' --output text)"; then
cat << EOF > ~/.aws/config
[default]
credential_process=aws-vault --prompt=osascript export --format=json bfd
mfa_serial=arn:aws:iam::${AWS_ACCOUNT_ID}:mfa/${CMS_EUA_ID}
region=us-east-1
cli_pager=

[profile bfd]
include_profile=default

[profile test-rds]
role_arn=arn:aws:iam::${AWS_ACCOUNT_ID}:role/bfd-fhirdb-test-auth
include_profile=bfd

[profile prod-sbx-rds]
include_profile=bfd
role_arn = arn:aws:iam::${AWS_ACCOUNT_ID}:role/bfd-fhirdb-prod-sbx-auth

[profile prod-rds]
include_profile=bfd
role_arn=arn:aws:iam::${AWS_ACCOUNT_ID}:role/bfd-fhirdb-prod-auth
EOF
fi

Bundle Installation

#!/usr/bin/env bash

echo "Storing latest RDS Global Bundle at ${HOME}/.local"
mkdir -p "${HOME}/.local/"
curl -o "${HOME}/.local/global-bundle.pem" https://truststore.pki.rds.amazonaws.com/global/global-bundle.pem -s

Sample Script

cat <<"EOF" >> "${HOME}/.zshrc"
function rds-sql {
  if [ "$1" = "" ]; then
    echo 'Empty positional environment argument $1'
    echo 'Try again with an environment, e.g. `rds-sql test`'
    return 1
  fi

  unset BFD_ENV PGHOST PGPORT PGUSER PGPASSWORD PGDATABASE PGSSLROOTCERT PGSSLMODE
  BFD_ENV="$1"
  # TODO: Support lookups of WriterEndpoint
  PGHOST="$(aws rds describe-db-clusters --query 'DBClusters[].ReaderEndpoint' --db-cluster-identifier "bfd-${BFD_ENV}-aurora-cluster" --output text)"
  PGPORT=5432
  PGUSER="$CMS_EUA_ID"
  PGDATABASE=fhirdb
  PGSSLROOTCERT="${HOME}/.local/global-bundle.pem"
  PGSSLMODE=verify-full

  if PGPASSWORD="$(aws-vault exec "${BFD_ENV}-rds" -- aws rds generate-db-auth-token --hostname "$PGHOST" --port "$PGPORT" --username "$PGUSER")"; then
    export BFD_ENV PGHOST PGPORT PGUSER PGPASSWORD PGDATABASE PGSSLROOTCERT PGSSLMODE
    echo "Environment Variables Set for ${PGHOST}"
    return 0
  else
    echo 'Something went wrong.'
    return 1
  fi
