Hi Hannah,
Thank you very much!! this is really helpful. Do we need to pass 'sslrootcert" as mentioned in the doc below? I see that you have not used it in your command.
Also do we have to grant the role below to the user?
grant rds_iam to app_user;
If you have any document/Steps to set this up from scratch,could you please forward? That would be really helpful.
Regards,
Aditya.
