Hey there ​@Media Insite 👋

Sorry to hear that you’re also running into an error when attempting to connect to it via the Amazon Relational Database Services (RDS) app. That “authentication failed: SignatureDoesNotMatch: The request signature we calculated does not match the signature you provided. Check your AWS Secret Access Key and signing method. Consult the service documentation for details.” error message seems to suggest there’s an issue with the AWS credentials being used, or perhaps it could be that the wrong region was selected. 🤔

Can you try creating a brand new user in the IAM console just for Zapier, and copy and paste it’s API Access Key ID and AWS Secret Access Key details directly (to avoid any hidden spaces or missing characters)?

Let us know how that goes!
