Enables ingress to a DBSecurityGroup using one of two forms of authorization. First, EC2 or VPC security groups can be added to the DBSecurityGroup if the application using the database is running on EC2 or VPC instances. Second, IP ranges are available if the application accessing your database is running on the internet. Required parameters for this API are one of CIDR range, EC2SecurityGroupId for VPC, or (EC2SecurityGroupOwnerId and either EC2SecurityGroupName or EC2SecurityGroupId for non-VPC).
You can’t authorize ingress from an EC2 security group in one Amazon Web Services Region to an Amazon RDS DB instance in another. You can’t authorize ingress from a VPC security group in one VPC to an Amazon RDS DB instance in another.
For an overview of CIDR ranges, go to the Wikipedia Tutorial .
Note
EC2-Classic was retired on August 15, 2022. If you haven’t migrated from EC2-Classic to a VPC, we recommend that you migrate as soon as possible. For more information, see Migrate from EC2-Classic to a VPC in the Amazon EC2 User Guide , the blog EC2-Classic Networking is Retiring – Here’s How to Prepare , and Moving a DB instance not in a VPC into a VPC in the Amazon RDS User Guide .

--db-security-group-name
(string)
The name of the DB security group to add authorization to.
--cidrip
(string)
The IP range to authorize.
--ec2-security-group-name
(string)
Name of the EC2 security group to authorize. For VPC DB security groups,
EC2SecurityGroupId
must be provided. Otherwise,EC2SecurityGroupOwnerId
and eitherEC2SecurityGroupName
orEC2SecurityGroupId
must be provided.
--ec2-security-group-id
(string)
Id of the EC2 security group to authorize. For VPC DB security groups,
EC2SecurityGroupId
must be provided. Otherwise,EC2SecurityGroupOwnerId
and eitherEC2SecurityGroupName
orEC2SecurityGroupId
must be provided.
--ec2-security-group-owner-id
(string)
Amazon Web Services account number of the owner of the EC2 security group specified in the
EC2SecurityGroupName
parameter. The Amazon Web Services access key ID isn’t an acceptable value. For VPC DB security groups,EC2SecurityGroupId
must be provided. Otherwise,EC2SecurityGroupOwnerId
and eitherEC2SecurityGroupName
orEC2SecurityGroupId
must be provided.
--cli-input-json
| --cli-input-yaml
(string)
Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton
. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml
.
--generate-cli-skeleton
(string)
Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input
, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json
. Similarly, if provided yaml-input
it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml
. If provided with the value output
, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.
--debug
(boolean)
Turn on debug logging.
--endpoint-url
(string)
Override command’s default URL with the given URL.
--no-verify-ssl
(boolean)
By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.
--no-paginate
(boolean)
Disable automatic pagination.
--output
(string)
The formatting style for command output.
json
text
table
yaml
yaml-stream
--query
(string)
A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.
--profile
(string)
Use a specific profile from your credential file.
--region
(string)
The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.
--version
(string)
Display the version of this tool.
--color
(string)
Turn on/off color output.
on
off
auto
--no-sign-request
(boolean)
Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.
--ca-bundle
(string)
The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.
--cli-read-timeout
(int)
The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
--cli-connect-timeout
(int)
The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
--cli-binary-format
(string)
The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb://
will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format
setting. When using file://
the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format
.
base64
raw-in-base64-out
--no-cli-pager
(boolean)
Disable cli pager for output.
--cli-auto-prompt
(boolean)
Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
--no-cli-auto-prompt
(boolean)
Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
Note
To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.
Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .
To associate an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role with a DB instance
The following authorize-db-security-group-ingress
example configures the default security group with an ingress rule for the CIDR IP range 192.0.2.0/24.
aws rds authorize-db-security-group-ingress \
--db-security-group-name default \
--cidrip 192.0.2.0/24
Output:
{
"DBSecurityGroup": {
"OwnerId": "123456789012",
"DBSecurityGroupName": "default",
"DBSecurityGroupDescription": "default",
"EC2SecurityGroups": [],
"IPRanges": [
{
"Status": "authorizing",
"CIDRIP": "192.0.2.0/24"
}
],
"DBSecurityGroupArn": "arn:aws:rds:us-east-1:111122223333:secgrp:default"
}
}
