Summary

Updated service reference from 'AWS Directory Service' to 'Directory Service' in Kerberos authentication documentation

-You can use Kerberos authentication to authenticate users when they connect to your Amazon RDS for Oracle DB instance. In this configuration, your DB instance works with AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory, also called AWS Managed Microsoft AD. When users authenticate with an RDS for Oracle DB instance joined to the trusting domain, authentication requests are forwarded to the directory that you create with AWS Directory Service.
