In this post, you will learn how to integrate Okta with AWS IAM Identity Center and implement Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) AWS Identity and Access Management (AWS IAM) authentication to create a unified authentication flow. You configure attribute-based access control (ABAC) that automatically maps user identities from your IdP to database permissions, supporting interactive user sessions and helping you avoid shared accounts. By the end, you have a working system where database authentication works exactly like your application authentication.
