I have seen articles about connecting .Net Application to RDS MySQL, Aurora databases using IAM role, Auth Token & SSL but no information found which tells about connecting your .Net Desktop Application to AWS RSD SQL Server. Anyone have any clue about the same please help.

    Hi @Apoorv ,

    There are two possible authentications for MS SQL server, windows authentication and SQL server authentication. There is no AWS IAM Authentication for MS SQL server. Refer to MS document Choose an Authentication Mode to get more.
