PostgreSQL

Create an integration to manage access your PostgreSQL databases

PostgreSQL databases are open-source relational database management systems emphasizing extensibility and SQL compliance.

Through this integration, Apono helps you securely manage access to your PostgreSQL instance.

To enable Apono to manage PostgreSQL user access, you must create a user and then configure the integration within the Apono UI.

If your PostgreSQL instance runs on a cloud service, follow one of these guides:

Prerequisites

Item

Description

Create a PostgreSQL user

You must create a user in your PostgreSQL instance for the Apono connector.

You must use the admin account and password to connect to your database.

Follow these steps to create a user and grant it permissions:

In your preferred client tool, create a new user. Use apono_connector for the username. Be sure to set a strong password for the user. You must also grant the SUPERUSER role to the user in the database instance.
```
CREATE USER apono_connector WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'password';
ALTER USER apono_connector WITH SUPERUSER;  
```
Using the credentials from step 1, create a secret for the database instance.

You can also input the user credentials directly into the Apono UI during the integration process.

Integrate PostgreSQL

You can also use the steps below to integrate with Apono using Terraform.

In step 11, instead of clicking Confirm, follow the Are you integrating with Apono using Terraform? guidance.

Follow these steps to complete the integration:

On the Catalog tab, click PostgreSQL. The Connect Integration page appears.
Under Discovery, select one or multiple resource types for Apono to discover in all instances of the environment.
Click Next. The Apono connector section expands.
From the dropdown menu, select a connector. Choosing a connector links Apono to all the services available on the account where the connector is located.

If the desired connector is not listed, click + Add new connector and follow the instructions for creating a connector (AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes).

Click Next. The Integration Config section expands.
Define the Integration Config settings.
Click Next. The Secret Store section expands.
Associate the secret or credentials.
Click Next. The Get more with Apono section expands.
Define the Get more with Apono settings.

Click Confirm.

💡Are you integrating with Apono using Terraform?

If you want to integrate with Apono using Terraform, follow these steps instead of clicking Confirm:

At the top of the screen, click View as Code. A modal appears with the completed Terraform configuration code.
Click to copy the code.
Make any additional edits.
Deploy the code in your Terraform.

Refer to Integration Config Metadata for more details about the schema definition.

Now that you have completed this integration, you can create access flows that grant permission to your PostgreSQL instance.
