Subject: [PATCH 01/29] feat: add PostgreSQL AWS IAM authentication support

- Add database_passwordless_aws_use_iam and database_passwordless_aws_region variables
- Add DATABASE_AUTH_USE_AWS_IAM and DATABASE_AUTH_AWS_DB_REGION environment variables
- Update both runtime_container_engine_config and tfe_init modules
- Follow Redis passwordless authentication pattern for PostgreSQL

Subject: [PATCH 02/29] Fix PostgreSQL IAM authentication template variable
 mapping

- Add Database.Passwordless.AWSUseInstanceProfile structure to tfe_init template variables
- Add database_aws_iam_auth_enabled and database_aws_iam_region variables to settings module
- This provides the correct nested structure that TFE templates expect for IAM authentication
- Templates look for .Database.Passwordless.AWSUseInstanceProfile to set DATABASE_AUTH_USE_AWS_IAM

Fixes: PostgreSQL passwordless authentication was failing because DATABASE_AUTH_USE_AWS_IAM was not being set correctly

Subject: [PATCH 03/29] Add automated PostgreSQL IAM user creation

- Added database_iam_username variable to tfe_init module
- Updated template to use proper database connection variables
- Template now automatically creates PostgreSQL IAM user with proper permissions
- Fixed variable reference from database_user to database_iam_username
- Added comprehensive error handling and database readiness checks

This completes the automation requirements for PostgreSQL passwordless authentication release tests.

Subject: [PATCH 04/29] Fix AWS region configuration for PostgreSQL IAM user
 creation

Set AWS_DEFAULT_REGION environment variable before AWS CLI commands:
- Export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=${database_aws_iam_region}
- Ensures AWS CLI commands in PostgreSQL IAM user creation have proper region
- Resolves 'You must specify a region' AWS CLI errors

This should fix the user_data script failures and allow proper PostgreSQL IAM user creation.

Subject: [PATCH 05/29] Add DATABASE_URL environment variable for PostgreSQL
 IAM authentication

TFE's auth.go code requires DATABASE_URL environment variable for IAM authentication to work:
- Added DATABASE_URL construction using database connection parameters
- Format: postgresql://user:password@host:5432/dbname?parameters
- Critical for TFE to properly use AWS IAM database authentication

This should resolve the 'database password must be set' configuration error.

Subject: [PATCH 06/29] Fix DATABASE_URL construction for null password in IAM
 auth

Handle null password properly in DATABASE_URL construction:
- Only include password part if database_password is not null
- Format: postgresql://user@host:5432/dbname (no password part for IAM auth)
- Ensures valid PostgreSQL connection string for IAM authentication

This should fix DATABASE_URL format for pgmultiauth IAM authentication.

Subject: [PATCH 07/29] Fix DATABASE_URL for PostgreSQL IAM auth: add
 placeholder password

TFE requires a password in the DATABASE_URL even when IAM authentication
is enabled. Added 'aws-iam-auth' placeholder password to ensure proper
DATABASE_URL format: postgresql://user:aws-iam-auth@host:5432/db?params

Subject: [PATCH 08/29] Implement AWS RDS IAM authentication with runtime token
 generation

- Set DATABASE_URL to null for IAM auth (generated at runtime)
- Add RDS IAM token generation function in tfe.sh.tpl
- Generate authentication tokens using 'aws rds generate-db-auth-token'
- Inject DATABASE_URL with actual IAM token into Docker Compose at runtime
- Use IAM username and token-based authentication
- Ensure proper URL encoding for special characters in tokens

Subject: [PATCH 09/29] Fix PostgreSQL IAM auth: use pgmultiauth library
 approach

Based on Atlas app implementation and TFE auth.go analysis:
- Set DATABASE_URL to base connection string WITHOUT password for IAM auth
- Remove runtime token generation (pgmultiauth library handles this internally)
- Let TFE's pgmultiauth library generate IAM tokens automatically
- DATABASE_URL format: postgresql://user@host:5432/db?sslmode=require
- DATABASE_AUTH_USE_AWS_IAM=true triggers IAM authentication in pgmultiauth

database_host already includes ':5432' port from RDS endpoint, so don't

Correct format: postgresql://user@host:5432/db?params

Subject: [PATCH 13/29] Fix PostgreSQL passwordless authentication environment
 variables

- Set TFE_DATABASE_PASSWORD to empty string for IAM auth (required by TFE)
- Add DATABASE_AUTH_AWS_SERVICE_NAME=rds-db for Atlas IAM provider
- Fix DATABASE_URL format with empty password placeholder (:@)
- Remove duplicate port from DATABASE_URL (host already includes port)

These fixes address the 502 errors by ensuring Atlas can properly:
1. Initialize AWS IAM token provider with correct service name
2. Parse database connection parameters from properly formatted URL
3. Generate IAM tokens for PostgreSQL RDS connections

Subject: [PATCH 14/29] Remove unwanted Atlas environment variables for
 PostgreSQL IAM auth

Remove DATABASE_AUTH_* and DATABASE_URL variables as they should not be
required for PostgreSQL IAM authentication. The TFE core system should
handle IAM authentication using only the TFE_DATABASE_* variables.

Subject: [PATCH 18/29] Replace SSM approach with direct PostgreSQL IAM user
 creation

- Remove complex SSM command execution that was causing failures
- Create IAM user directly in user_data script using psql
- Install PostgreSQL client and handle database connection inline
- Use template variables for database connection parameters
- Eliminate dependency on SSM document and metadata service
- Simpler, more reliable approach for IAM user creation

Subject: [PATCH 19/29] Ultra-compact PostgreSQL IAM user setup to fit 16KB
 limit

- Compress entire IAM setup into 4 concise lines
- Remove all verbose logging and error handling to save space
- Use compact for loop with seq instead of while loops
- Combine all SQL grants into single psql command
- Essential functionality preserved in minimal footprint

Subject: [PATCH 21/29] Remove PostgreSQL IAM user setup from user_data script

PostgreSQL IAM user creation is now handled by null_resource
in terraform-aws-terraform-enterprise database module instead
of user_data script. This provides better error handling and
ensures the user is created before TFE container starts.

Subject: [PATCH 22/29] Restore PostgreSQL IAM user creation in user_data
 script

- Add robust PostgreSQL IAM user creation back to EC2 user_data
- Include proper error handling and logging
- EC2 instances have network access to RDS unlike CI machines
- Compact but complete implementation for AWS size limits

Subject: [PATCH 23/29] Create ultra-compact PostgreSQL IAM user setup for AWS
 16KB limit

- Reduced from ~50 lines to ~15 lines of PostgreSQL setup
- Install specific postgresql-client-16 package
- Compact single-line SQL command for IAM user creation
- Reduced logging but kept essential status messages
- File now 10KB vs previous ~12KB to ensure AWS compliance
- Maintains all required functionality for IAM user creation

- Remove unused Redis passwordless AWS variables:
  - redis_passwordless_aws_use_iam
  - redis_passwordless_aws_region
  - redis_passwordless_aws_host_name
- Remove unused Redis Sidekiq variables:
  - redis_sidekiq_host
  - redis_sidekiq_user
  - redis_sidekiq_password
  - redis_sidekiq_use_tls
  - redis_sidekiq_use_auth

All variables were declared but never referenced in the codebase.
Fixes terraform_unused_declarations warnings from tflint.

Subject: [PATCH 28/29] Fix invalid TFE database environment variable
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Remove invalid TFE_DATABASE_USE_INSTANCE_PROFILE variable
- Keep only the correct TFE_DATABASE_PASSWORDLESS_AWS_USE_INSTANCE_PROFILE
- TFE_DATABASE_USE_INSTANCE_PROFILE is not a valid TFE environment variable
- Eliminates duplicate and invalid configuration

Line 19: TFE_DATABASE_USE_INSTANCE_PROFILE (invalid) → removed
Line 21: TFE_DATABASE_PASSWORDLESS_AWS_USE_INSTANCE_PROFILE (valid) → kept

Subject: [PATCH 29/29] Restore Explorer database passwordless Azure variables

- Add back explorer_database_passwordless_azure_use_msi variable
- Add back explorer_database_passwordless_azure_client_id variable
- These were incorrectly removed as they are for Explorer database, not primary database
- Our scope is limited to primary database changes only

Reverts scope creep - Explorer database variables should remain untouched.
