The AWS Secrets Manager JDBC Library enables Java developers to easily connect to SQL databases using secrets stored in AWS Secrets Manager. We provide database drivers that intercept calls to real database drivers and swap out secret IDs for actual login credentials. This prevents hard-coding database credentials into your application code. This can be integrated into your app through a few configuration file changes. Change the jdbc url to one that our driver will intercept (starting with jdbc-secretsmanager), Change the c3p0 user to be the secret ID of the secret in secrets manager that has the username and password, and change the driverClass to be our driver wrapper. The secret being used should be in the JSON format we use for our rotation lambdas for RDS databases.
