database tool password automation

Answered

I am trying to implement a way to do convenient aws database iam authentication. For this I have an external tool that can generate a password. But I am trying to find a way to copy this password into the intellij database tool without copy pasting.I have tested changing the underlying .idea/dataSources.local.xml  file. Changes to this file seem immediately reflected in intellij, however the password is stored in the keychain. When I change the keychain, I have to restart intellij so the latest keychain value is fetched. Is there any way to pass the password to the database tool without restarting intellij? Is a manual reset of the keychain cache possible? Or is there another way to pass plain passwords in the dataSources.local.xml (passwords that are generated are only temporary)?

Which database are you  trying to connect?
We have support for AWS profile for Redshift/Athena
Can be done by implementing `com.intellij.database.dataSource.DatabaseAuthProvider` interface and registering as `com.intellij.database.connectionInterceptor` in plugin.xml
