Integration of Amazon RDS Oracle with AWS Directory Service

Customers can streamline database identity management by sourcing and managing all their user identities from Active Directory . It also enables you to reuse your existing Active Directory security policies such as password expiration, password history, and account lockout policies. Also, users will no longer need to remember yet another user name and password combination

The users have to be created on database along with the access configuration. You will have to do it for each user on each instance. Its like managing users locallly on each instance, the only difference is that you dont have to remember password for each instance. It doesn't really help in a big way unless there is an option to manage users and accesses on AD security groups and just attaching those AD security groups to each RDS instance.

It is said that:
> IAM database authentication tokens are generated using AWS keys
> Users are created in IAM to match users in the database
IAM database authentication is not applicable to Amazon RDS for Oracle, for which this video is about:
It is only for MySQL and PostgreSQL.
