Description
IAM database authentication is disabled and authentication tokens are not used to connect to DB instance. Users will connect to DB instance with passwords, which are less secure than temporary tokens that expire.
How to fix?
Ensure that the aws_db_instance iam_database_authentication_enabled field is set to true.
Example Configuration
resource "aws_db_instance" "d" {
iam_database_authentication_enabled = true
# other required fields here
}
