HAQM Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible edition supports simultaneous authentication with both Microsoft Active Directory (AD) and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)

Customers can now enable multiple authentications protocols at the same time for an HAQM Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition cluster. HAQM Aurora with PostgreSQL compatibility supports both Kerberos authentication with Microsoft Active Directory (AD) and IAM database authentication, but in the past you could choose only one for a given cluster. Now, HAQM Aurora with PostgreSQL compatibility supports enabling Kerberos and IAM authentication for a cluster simultaneously. For example, customers can enable IAM for authenticating AWS Lambda and enable Kerberos for other authentication situations.

HAQM Aurora combines the performance and availability of high-end commercial databases with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of open source databases. It provides up to three times better performance than the typical PostgreSQL database, together with increased scalability, durability, and security.
