Medium Security Finding for Slurm Accounting database

[joehellmersNOAA]

Hello,

I'm getting a security finding for the Aurora RDS MySQL accounting database. It seem that we are expected to an IAM Authentication instead of a password authentication, even with a rotating secret. Based on a cursory look at the documentation it seems that the normal setup for the configuration file needs to have a password type of connection.

Is there a work around for this of some sort? Maybe using an external accounting RDS could help with this?

The security control is as follows.
