Is there an existing issue for this?
- [x] I have searched the existing issues
Summary
Currently authentication to Postgres is via static database username and password. When using AWS RDS managed Postgres this authentication mechanism is not considered security best practice. Instead, short-lived tokens are preferred. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/UsingWithRDS.IAMDBAuth.html As an added benefit, using tokens enables connections from Plane to Postgres to be SSL/TLS encrypted.
Why should this be worked on?
In order for Plane Enterprise to meet the security requirements of many companies security best practices must be followed.
