Data Management:Apply for secure access proxy authorization

Last Updated:Mar 30, 2026

To connect to a database instance that has the secure access proxy feature enabled, submit a ticket to request access. Once approved, DMS issues an AccessKey pair — an AccessKey ID and AccessKey secret — that your programs use to authenticate through the proxy endpoints.

If you are already an authorized user, the Permissions column on the Proxy List page shows Connection Details instead of Application. Skip this procedure and go directly to What's next to connect.
