IAM Connectivity using Mongo Compass
Description:
It would be helpful to integrate AWS IAM profiles directly into MongoDB Compass. Users should be able to read the available AWS IAM profiles from their AWS CLI configuration, select one from a list, and connect seamlessly without the need to manually copy the access key ID, secret key, and token.
Current Limitation:
At the moment, users must run an AWS CLI command to manually retrieve and input their credentials into Compass. This process is very frustrating, especially since users have to copy and paste the tokens every single time they want to connect.
Suggested Improvement:
Enable MongoDB Compass to read the AWS CLI configuration and display available IAM profiles directly in the UI. Users should then be able to select a profile and connect, similar to how the Compass CLI works, eliminating the need to manually copy tokens each time and greatly simplifying the connection process.
