How to connect to AWS RDS through DBeaver

Question

I have a MySQL database on AWS. Here are some of the settings:

• DB instance id - database-2
• Endpoint - database-2.***.eu-central-1.rds.amazonaws.com
• Port - 3306
• Public accessibility - true
• DB name - testdb
• Master username - admin

Now I am trying to connect to that database using DBeaver. Here is the screenshot of the settings I used:

.

I am getting "connection timed out" error. I tried with Database: testdb, but I get the same error. What can I do to fix that?

Note: DBeaver works fine with other databases.

Solution

Turns out the reason was inbound rules set for security group. Here is a detailed answer about that: https://serverfault.com/a/656119/567809

The proper connection details for DBeaver for me were:

• Server Host: Endpoint address
• Port: 3306
• Database: DB name
• User name: Database master username
• Password: Database master password

Have you confirmed that your firewall is allowing you to connect? Port / IP allowed. You do have a firewall in place?
