DMS endpoints for MongoDB should have an authentication mechanism enabled¶

This control checks whether an AWS DMS endpoint for MongoDB is configured with an authentication mechanism. The control fails if an authentication type isn't set for the endpoint.

How to fix¶

Attribute mongodb_settings[0].auth_type of aws_dms_endpoint must be "password".

Implementation options¶

Choose the option that matches how you manage Terraform. All options satisfy this control.

Option 1: Terraform AWS provider resources¶

If you manage resources directly, configure the relevant Terraform AWS provider resources to meet this control. See docs for the resources involved: aws_dms_endpoint.

resource "aws_dms_endpoint" "this" {
  endpoint_id   = "pofix-example-endpoint"
  endpoint_type = "source"
  engine_name   = "mysql"

  redis_settings {
    auth_type   = "none"
    port        = 6379
    server_name = "redis.example.com"
  }

  mongodb_settings {
    auth_type = "password"
  }
}
