# Redis ElastiCache Database Plugin HTTP API
|
||
|
||
The Redis ElastiCache database plugin is one of the supported plugins for the database
|
||
secrets engine. This plugin generates static database credentials based on
|
||
configured roles for the Redis ElastiCache database.
|
||
|
||
## Configure Connection
|
||
|
||
In addition to the parameters defined by the [Database
|
||
Secrets Engine](/vault/api-docs/secret/databases#configure-connection), this plugin
|
||
has a number of parameters to further configure a connection.
|
||
|
||
| Method | Path |
|
||
| :----- | :----------------------- |
|
||
| `POST` | `/database/config/:name` |
|
||
|
||
### Parameters
|
||
|
||
- `url` `(string: <required>)` – Specifies the primary endpoint to connect to.
|
||
|
||
- `access_key_id` `(string)` – Specifies the IAM `access_key_id` for Vault to use. If omitted, authentication falls back on
|
||
the AWS credentials provider chain and tries to infer authentication from the environment.
|
||
|
||
- `secret_access_key` `(string)` – Specifies the IAM `secret_access_key` corresponding to the given `access_key_id`.
|
||
If omitted, authentication falls back on the AWS credentials provider chain and tries to infer authentication from the environment.
|
||
|
||
- `region` `(string)` – Specifies the AWS region where to ElastiCache cluster is provisioned. If omitted, falls back on
|
||
the context from the environment.
|
||
|
||
### Deprecated Parameters
|
||
|
||
- `username` `(string)` – Use `access_key_id` instead, it is strictly equivalent.
|
||
|
||
- `password` `(string)` – Use `secret_access_key` instead, it is strictly equivalent.
|
||
|
||
