Working with Active Directory with RDS for Db2

You can join an RDS for Db2 DB instance to a Microsoft Active Directory (AD) domain. Your AD domain can be hosted on AWS Managed AD within AWS, or on a self-managed AD in a location of your choice, including your corporate data centers, on AWS EC2, or with other cloud providers.

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