NAME

Paws::Glue::ConnectionPasswordEncryption

USAGE

This class represents one of two things:

Arguments in a call to a service

Use the attributes of this class as arguments to methods. You shouldn't make instances of this class. Each attribute should be used as a named argument in the calls that expect this type of object.

As an example, if Att1 is expected to be a Paws::Glue::ConnectionPasswordEncryption object:

  $service_obj->Method(Att1 => { AwsKmsKeyId => $value, ..., ReturnConnectionPasswordEncrypted => $value  });

Results returned from an API call

Use accessors for each attribute. If Att1 is expected to be an Paws::Glue::ConnectionPasswordEncryption object:

  $result = $service_obj->Method(...);
  $result->Att1->AwsKmsKeyId

DESCRIPTION

The data structure used by the Data Catalog to encrypt the password as part of "CreateConnection" or "UpdateConnection" and store it in the "ENCRYPTED_PASSWORD" field in the connection properties. You can enable catalog encryption or only password encryption.

When a "CreationConnection" request arrives containing a password, the Data Catalog first encrypts the password using your KMS key. It then encrypts the whole connection object again if catalog encryption is also enabled.

This encryption requires that you set KMS key permissions to enable or restrict access on the password key according to your security requirements. For example, you might want only administrators to have decrypt permission on the password key.

ATTRIBUTES

AwsKmsKeyId => Str

An KMS key that is used to encrypt the connection password.

If connection password protection is enabled, the caller of "CreateConnection" and "UpdateConnection" needs at least "kms:Encrypt" permission on the specified KMS key, to encrypt passwords before storing them in the Data Catalog.

You can set the decrypt permission to enable or restrict access on the password key according to your security requirements.

REQUIRED ReturnConnectionPasswordEncrypted => Bool

When the "ReturnConnectionPasswordEncrypted" flag is set to "true", passwords remain encrypted in the responses of "GetConnection" and "GetConnections". This encryption takes effect independently from catalog encryption.
