Update timeline

  1. investigating Jul 09, 2026, 10:23 AM UTC

    Users of Atlas Data Federation and Online Archive using cloud-provider IAM authentication may see pipelines fail with an error when querying backing Atlas clusters. Other authentication methods are unaffected. As a temporary workaround, users can use SCRAM authentication.

    We have identified that the issue is caused by a recent configuration change to IAM authentication and are working on a fix.
