Use the C++ SDK to generate a token in Aurora DSQL

Once your cluster is ACTIVE, you can generate an authentication token.

There are two ways to generate the token

The following example uses the following attributes to generate an authentication token for the admin role.

#include <aws/core/Aws.h>
#include <aws/dsql/DSQLClient.h>
#include <iostream>

using namespace Aws;
using namespace Aws::DSQL;

std::string generateToken(String yourClusterEndpoint, String region) {
    Aws::SDKOptions options;
    Aws::InitAPI(options);
    DSQLClientConfiguration clientConfig;
    clientConfig.region = region;
    DSQLClient client{clientConfig};
    std::string token = "";
    
    // If you aren not using admin role to connect, use GenerateDBConnectAuthToken instead
    const auto presignedString = client.GenerateDBConnectAdminAuthToken(yourClusterEndpoint, region);
    if (presignedString.IsSuccess()) {
        token = presignedString.GetResult();
    } else {
        std::cerr << "Token generation failed." << std::endl;
    }

    std::cout << token << std::endl;

    Aws::ShutdownAPI(options);
    return token;
}
