AWS AmazonRDS documentation change
Summary
Clarified that the AD username value should exclude the domain prefix to prevent instance creation failures
Security assessment
The change addresses a configuration error (including domain prefixes causing failures) but does not directly mitigate a security vulnerability or introduce security features. It improves documentation accuracy for setup procedures.
