# Security

## Identity and access management

* **Note**\
  You can further restrict access to AWS DMS resources using tagging. For more information about restricting access to AWS DMS resources using tagging, see [Fine-grained access control using resource names and tags](https://github.com/kevinslin/aws-reference-notes/blob/main/services/aws_database_migration_service/CHAP_Security.FineGrainedAccess.md).
* **Note**\
  If you use the AWS DMS console for your database migration, these roles are added to your AWS account automatically.

## Using SSL

* **Note**\
  The SSL Mode option on the DMS console or API doesn’t apply to some data streaming and NoSQL services like Kinesis, and DynamoDB. They are secure by default, so DMS shows the SSL mode setting is equal to none (**SSL Mode=None**). You don’t need to provide any additional configuration for your endpoint to make use of SSL. For example, when using Kinesis as a target endpoint, it is secure by default. All API calls to Kinesis use SSL, so there is no need for an additional SSL option in the DMS endpoint. You can securely put data and retrieve data through SSL endpoints using the HTTPS protocol, which DMS uses by default when connecting to a Kinesis Data Stream.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://awsnotes.dendron.so/migration-and-transfer/aws-database-migration-service/common/security.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
