+# rds-iam-psql
+
+A CLI that launches an interactive `psql` session from a required RDS IAM URL:
+- positional `postgres+rds-iam://...` DSN
+- optional `-debug-aws` flag
+
+## Why?
+
+RDS IAM authentication lets you connect using AWS credentials instead of a static DB password. IAM auth tokens are short-lived and inconvenient to generate manually. This tool resolves a fresh DSN through `pgutils` and opens `psql` for you.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+go install github.com/corbaltcode/go-libraries/cmd/rds-iam-psql@latest
+```
+
+Or build from source:
+
+```bash
+cd ./cmd/rds-iam-psql
+go build
+```
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- **psql** installed and available in your PATH
+- **AWS credentials** configured (env vars, `~/.aws/credentials`, IAM role, etc.)
+- **AWS region** configured for SDK resolution (for example: `AWS_REGION`, shared config profile, or runtime role config)
+- **RDS IAM authentication enabled** on your database instance
+- A DB user configured for IAM auth (for example: `CREATE USER myuser WITH LOGIN; GRANT rds_iam TO myuser;`)
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+rds-iam-psql [-debug-aws] '<postgres+rds-iam-url>'
+```
+
+- Flags must come before the DSN (standard Go flag parsing behavior).
+- `<postgres+rds-iam-url>` may omit the database path. When omitted, `pgutils` defaults the database name to the username.
+
+### Flags
+
+| Flag | Default | Description |
+|------|---------|-------------|
+| `-debug-aws` | `false` | Print STS caller identity before connecting |
+
+## Examples
+
+Basic IAM URL:
+
+```bash
+./rds-iam-psql 'postgres+rds-iam://server@acremins-test.cicxifnkufnd.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com:5432/postgres'
+```
+
+IAM URL with cross-account role assumption:
+
+```bash
+rds-iam-psql 'postgres+rds-iam://app_user@mydb.abc123.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com:5432/myapp?assume_role_arn=arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/db-connect&assume_role_session_name=rds-iam-psql'
+```
+
+With AWS identity debugging:
+
+```bash
+rds-iam-psql -debug-aws 'postgres+rds-iam://app_user@mydb.abc123.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com:5432/myapp'
+```
+
+Without explicit database name (defaults to username):
+
+```bash
+rds-iam-psql 'postgres+rds-iam://app_user@mydb.abc123.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com:5432'
+```
+
+## Changing Search Path In psql
+
+If you need to change the schema search path, do it from the interactive `psql` session after connecting:
+
+```sql
+SHOW search_path;
+SET search_path TO app_schema, public;
+```
+
+This applies to the current session. If you need a persistent default, configure it in Postgres (for example with `ALTER ROLE ... SET search_path ...`).
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. Parses and validates the positional IAM URL.
+2. Builds a `pgutils` connection string provider from the IAM URL.
+3. If `-debug-aws` is set, runs STS `GetCallerIdentity` and prints the caller ARN.
+4. Resolves an IAM tokenized DSN from the provider and launches `psql` with the IAM generated connection string.
+
+## Setting Up IAM Auth on RDS
+
+1. Enable IAM authentication on your RDS instance
+2. Create a database user and grant IAM privileges:
+   ```sql
+   CREATE USER myuser WITH LOGIN;
+   GRANT rds_iam TO myuser;
+   ```
+3. Attach an IAM policy allowing `rds-db:connect` to your AWS user/role:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "Version": "2012-10-17",
+     "Statement": [
+       {
+         "Effect": "Allow",
+         "Action": "rds-db:connect",
+         "Resource": "arn:aws:rds-db:<region>:<account-id>:dbuser:<dbi-resource-id>/<db-user>"
+       }
+     ]
+   }
+   ```
