Aurora DSQL Plugin for DBeaver

Aurora DSQL Plugin for DBeaver Community Edition

The goal is to support customers using the free version of DBeaver, allowing them to leverage this popular tool to run queries against DSQL clusters, explore the schema and use IAM authentication transparently.

The plugin is built on top of the Aurora DSQL Connector for JDBC and enables IAM authentication to Aurora DSQL clusters. It is conveniently installed through DBeaver UI and eliminates the need to write token generation code or manually supply a valid IAM token, simplifying the authentication while eliminating security risks associated with traditional user-generated passwords.

Core Features

• IAM Authentication Support: Connect to Aurora DSQL clusters using AWS IAM credentials for secure, password-free authentication
• Automatic Driver Management: Seamlessly installs and configures the Aurora DSQL Connector for JDBC
• Flexible Connection Options: Choose between Host-based or JDBC URL-based connection configuration

Connection Capabilities

• Host Mode: User-friendly interface with dedicated fields for:
  • Cluster endpoint configuration
  • Username specification (e.g., admin)
  • AWS Profile selection
  • Optional AWS Region specification
• URL Mode: Direct JDBC URL input for advanced users with query parameter support
