Data Management:Apply for secure access proxy authorization

Last Updated:Aug 27, 2026

To access a database instance with secure access proxy enabled, you must apply for authorization. Once approved, you receive an AccessKey pair to access the instance.

Prerequisites

The target database instance must have secure access proxy enabled. For more information, see Enable secure access proxy.

Procedure

  1. Log in to DMS 5.0.

  2. Move the pointer over the 2023-01-28_15-57-17.png icon in the upper-left corner and choose All Features > Security and disaster recovery (DBS) > Secure Access Proxy > Proxy List.

    Note

    If you use the DMS console in normal mode, choose Security and disaster recovery (DBS) > Secure Access Proxy > Proxy List in the top navigation bar.

  3. On the Created tab, find the target instance and click Apply in the My Permissions column.

    Note

    If you already have secure access proxy authorization for the instance, the My Permissions column displays Connection Details.

    The system automatically generates a Secure Access Proxy Ticket.

    On the ticket details page, the ticket status is Pending Approval, the description is [Secure Access Proxy Permissions] One-click application for secure access proxy authorization, and the environment tag is Production. An approver must then review the ticket. To complete the approval process, click Approve, Reject, Forward, Add Approver, or Withdraw.

  4. After the ticket is approved, go to the secure access proxy details page for the instance to view your AccessKey ID and AccessKey secret.

Note
