Description

This control verifies IAM database authentication is enabled for an Amazon RDS cluster. IAM database authentication permits password-free access to database instances using an authentication token. This method ensures that network traffic to and from the database is encrypted using SSL. For more details, refer to the IAM database authentication section in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.

Remediation

To enable IAM database authentication on RDS cluster, see Enabling and disabling IAM database authentication in the Amazon RDS User Guide.
