Hi, I created a postgres RDS in AWS as a custom database for my test tenant. I am able to connect to it using Postico (working on a mac). I’ve entered in the url for the connection string according to the Login and Get User template: postgres://${configuration.user}:${configuration.pass}@..us-west…

Solved - I did not have ssh open in my security group for the RDS.

Hi,

I am still struggling to connect to the postgres RDS. I keep hitting the same error whether I am using encryted or unencrypted user and password:

[error] 28P01 - password authentication failed for user
