AWS AmazonRDS: RDS Custom for SQL Server Windows Auth steps reworded (Choose)

Service: AmazonRDS · 2026-09-27 · Documentation low

File: AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/custom-sqlserver-WinAuth.settingUp.md

Summary

Editorial rephrasing of the AD setup procedure: 'Right-click the ...' changed to 'Open the context (right-click) menu for the ...' and 'Click X' changed to 'Choose X' throughout the Windows Authentication setup steps.

Security assessment

The diff only standardizes UI action wording (context menu/Choose) in the AD delegation and Secrets Manager secret-creation steps; no security configuration, permission, or credential guidance is added or altered. Because the surrounding content deals with AD user creation and delegation, it remains security-adjacent but the change itself has no security impact.

Evidence

-  3. Open the context (right-click) menu for the domain and choose **New** , then **Organization Unit**.
