We are having some difficulties getting Airbyte to connect to an AWS RDS Postgres database as its configuration database. Any thoughts on where to go to try and sort out what we don't have configured correctly?

It is not picking up the configuration for user, password, and database endpoint. So it’s using literal x’s. How did you configure this connection? Was it through the UI or through a custom approach?

I should have specified that the xxxxx's were just there to replace the sensitive data. It actually has the user, password and host in the log.

ahh.

Have you validated that the database user can correctly connect to the same database and schema using a sql client? That would ensure it has all the correct permissions and a network route to the database.
