New Quick Start for MongoDB on AWS URI to connect from application

Question

I can't find any details on how to connect to the cluster from a standalone Java application. I've tried following the general Mongo URI format here (https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/connection-string/) - 

I assume the target should be the Bastion public IP, but I'm not sure what the username and password details should be in the connection string

Hey @Yamini,

To start off with, configure your putty

Then create a tunnel

ssh -i "whatever.pem" -NL 4444:rabbitmq.cpypigm0kth7.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com:5432 ec2-user@<ip address> -v

or using RDS private IP address:

ssh -i “whatever.pem” -NL 4444:10.0.2.210:5432 ec2-user@<ip address> -v

Hope this helps!!
