I am trying to connect Looker Studio with Amazon Redshift but keep getting this error
I had to make sure everything related to connection details was the same and also tried to connect with Basic and JDBC methods but got the same error.
I read a few links as well regarding this but wasn't able to make it work, also Error message is kind of generic We encountered an error... don't even tell what could be the root cause.
According to this, I tried to enable SSL and uploaded the pem
file.
Downloaded the .crt
file from the above link converted the file extension to .pem
then attached it but the same issue.
If anyone from the Looker Studio community has faced this issue, please let me know.
References:
found a solution myself, here's the guide:
Download SSL certificate from here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/mgmt/connecting-ssl-support.html
amazon-trust-ca-bundle.crt
on your PCamazon-trust-ca-bundle.pem
Make sure it's publicly accessible (Amazon Redshift Serverless > Workgroup configuration > <your-wrokgroup>)
