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 use of Python UDFs after June 30, 2026. We will start enforcing it in phases. For more information on the details of Python end of life and migration options, see the blog post that was published on June 30, 2025.

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.
