Using username and password only - Amazon Redshift
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Amazon Redshift will no longer support the creation of new Python UDFs starting November 1, 2025. If you would like to use Python UDFs, create the UDFs prior to that date. Existing Python UDFs will continue to function as normal. For more information, see the blog post .

Using username and password only

If the server you are connecting to doesn't use SSL, then you only need to provide your Redshift username and password to authenticate the connection.

To configure authentication using your Redshift username and password only
  1. Set the UID property to your Redshift username for accessing the Amazon Redshift server.

  2. Set the PWD property to the password corresponding to your Redshift username.
