Considerations for security groups - Amazon Relational Database Service (original) (raw)

For you to connect to your DB instance, it must be associated with a security group that contains the necessary IP addresses and network configuration. Your DB instance might use the default security group. If you assigned a default, nonconfigured security group when you created the DB instance, the firewall prevents connections. For information about creating a new security group, see Controlling access with security groups.

After you create the new security group, you modify your DB instance to associate it with the security group. For more information, see Modifying an Amazon RDS DB instance.

You can enhance security by using SSL to encrypt connections to your DB instance. For more information, see Oracle Secure Sockets Layer.
