Description

This command retrieves the following connection details for a database cluster:

  • The connection string for the database cluster
  • The default database name
  • The fully-qualified domain name of the publicly-connectable host
  • The port on which the database is listening for connections
  • The default username
  • The randomly-generated password for the default username

While these connection details will work, you may wish to use different connection details, such as the private hostname, a custom username, or a different database.
