title: Amazon AWS connection error
body: <p>I have just setup my first Redshift cluster and attempting to connect to it via SQL Workbench to be able to create tables.</p>
  
  <p>I have followed the directions for installing and configuring SQL Workbench here: <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/mgmt/connecting-using-workbench.html" rel="nofollow">http://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/mgmt/connecting-using-workbench.html</a></p>
  
  <p>I have also downloaded and configured both the 4.0 and 4.1 version of the Redshift JDBC driver and attempted to use both.</p>
  
  <p>When I configure a connection using the JDBC URL provided in the cluster configuration, the SQL Workbench attempts to connect and then I receive the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Amazon(500150) Error setting/closing connection: Connection timed out:
    connect.</p>
