I am accessing the Amazon RDS (MySQL) from Putty. MySQL Workbench works through SSH commandline only, but I would like to access the cloud MySQL host database directly from MySQL Workbench.
This solution worked for me: Add your IP to the Security Group rules as follows. Assuming you have logged into AWS:
Check your IP address using http://checkip.amazonaws.com/ . If it is not added to the Security Rule Groups, you should add it. this step is crucial
3.1. Click on the rule name. This will open up a new tab, then click in the name of the rule.
3.2. Click on Edit inbound rules
3.3. Click on Add new rule, and add a rule with the following values:
Type: MYSQL/Aurora.
Protocol: TCP (default)
Port range: 3306 (default)
Source: My IP -> This will be the IP Address you got at http://checkip.amazonaws.com/ .
Hostname : Use the value you have for Endpoint at Connectivity and Security
Port : Use the value you have for Port at Connectivity and Security, by default it is 3306.
Username : Use the value you have for master username at Configuration
Password : Use the value you set when you created the database instance.
If you forgot the password, you can change it by clicking on Modify in your database instance or if you're using AWS Elastic Beanstalk or so you can SSH into the instance and run the command
/opt/elasticbeanstalk/bin/get-config environment
and you'll find that information in it.
In the MySQL forums is a posting that links to various sources for connecting MySQL Workbench to online resources: http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?152,252640,252640#msg-252640 . The essential steps for Amazon RDS are on this page: https://thoughtsandideas.wordpress.com/2012/05/17/monitoring-and-managing-amazon-rds-databases-using-mysql-workbench/
Step 3) Fill in the values as described below which illustrated in Figure 4.
Username – Provide the Master Username of the DB instance created in Amazon RDS(refer Figure 5).
Password – Click on Store in Keychain.. button and type the password provided while creating the DB instance in Amazon RDS.
Very helpful , was able to make the connection was missing critical part
3.3. Click on Add new rule, and add a rule with the following values:
Type: MYSQL/Aurora.
Protocol: TCP (default)
Port range: 3306 (default)
Source: My IP -> This will be the IP Address you got at http://checkip.amazonaws.com/ .
