AWS athena documentation change

Service: athena · 2026-04-25 · Documentation low

File: athena/latest/ug/connectors-microsoft-sql-server.md

Summary

Added a note about Lambda environment properties applying only when using the connector with a Lambda function, and updated terminology from 'Glue connections' to 'AWS Glue Data Catalog federated connection' for consistency across connectors.

Security assessment

This is a documentation consistency update, clarifying requirements like using AWS Secrets Manager, but it does not address security vulnerabilities or add new security features. No concrete evidence of security issues.
