SUMMARY

I was hoping it would be possible to get AWX to support using AWS IAM authentication to connect to the postgres database. Right now it's limited to password only (that I could determine).

thanks

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement AWS RDS IAM authentication by adding support for IAM database authentication token generation using boto3 and modifying the database connection configuration in AWX. The implementation should allow AWS IAM credentials to be used instead of a static password.
