Amazon Redshift Data API now supports single sign-on (SSO) with AWS IAM Identity Center

Amazon Redshift Data API, which lets you connect to Amazon Redshift through a secure HTTPS endpoint, now supports single sign-on (SSO) through AWS IAM Identity Center. Amazon Redshift Data API removes the need to manage database drivers, connections, network configurations, and data buffering, simplifying how you access your data warehouses and data lakes.

AWS IAM Identity Center lets customers connect existing identity providers from a centrally managed location. You can now use AWS IAM Identity Center with your preferred identity provider, including Microsoft Entra Id, Okta, and Ping, to connect to Amazon Redshift clusters through Amazon Redshift Data API. This new SSO integration simplifies identity management, so that you don’t have to manage separate database credentials for your Amazon Redshift clusters. Once authenticated, your authorization rules are enforced using the permissions defined in Amazon Redshift or AWS Lake Formation.

You can get started by integrating your Amazon Redshift cluster or workgroup with AWS Identity Center (IdC), and then allow Amazon Redshift to access AWS services programmatically using trusted identity propagation.

This feature is available in all AWS Regions where both AWS IAM Identity Center and Amazon Redshift are available. For more information, see our documentation and blog.
