Neptune DB Cluster Does Not Have IAM Database Authentication Enabled

Overview

This control examines whether IAM database authentication is activated for a Neptune DB cluster. The control result is negative if IAM database authentication is not enabled for the specified Neptune DB cluster.

Enabling IAM database authentication for Amazon Neptune eliminates the necessity to store user credentials within the database configuration. Instead, authentication is externally managed through IAM, enhancing security. With IAM database authentication enabled, each request requires signing using AWS Signature Version 4.
