Using a JSON Web Token (JWT)

You can configure the connector to authenticate your connection by using a token obtained from the web identity provider.

To configure IAM authentication using a JWT:

  1. To access the authentication options, open the ODBC Data Source Administrator where you created the DSN, select the DSN, and then click Configure.
  2. In the Authentication area, click the Authentication Type drop-down list, select JWT.
  3. In the Preferred Role field, type the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the role that you want to assume when authenticated through JWT.
  4. In the Web Token field, type the JSON web token generated after OAuth authentication from Azure Active directory.
  5. Optionally, in the Role Session Name field, type the name of the assumed role session.
  6. To save your settings and close the dialog box, click OK.
