Working with Active Directory with RDS for SQL Server

You can join an RDS for SQL Server DB instance to a Microsoft Active Directory (AD) domain. Your AD domain can be hosted on Amazon Managed AD within Amazon, or on a self-managed AD in a location of your choice, including your corporate data centers, on Amazon EC2, or with other cloud providers.

You can authenticate domain users using NTLM authentication and Kerberos authentication with self-managed Active Directory and Amazon Managed Microsoft AD.
