Using an authentication profile to connect to Amazon Redshift

If you have many connections to Amazon Redshift, it can be difficult to manage settings for all of them. Often, each JDBC or ODBC connection uses specific configuration options. By using an authentication profile, you can store connection options together. This way, your users can choose a profile to connect with and avoid managing settings for individual options. Profiles can apply to various scenarios and user types.

After you create an authentication profile, users can add the ready-to-use profile to a connection string. By doing this, they can connect to Amazon Redshift with the right settings for each role and use case.
