AWS Private CA announces support for Microsoft Active Directory child domains

AWS Private Certificate Authority (AWS Private CA) now supports Active Directory (AD) child domains through the Private CA Connector for AD. With this feature, customers get a consistent experience using AWS Private CA across parent and child AD domains. AD administrators can issue certificates to users, computers, and devices in a child domain independently of the parent domain and other child domains. This feature works with on-premises and self-hosted AD deployments that are connected to AWS through AWS Directory Service AD Connector.\n Private CA Connector for AD allows you to replace your certificate authorities (CAs) with AWS Private CA, a highly-available, fully-managed cloud CA that secures private key material using hardware security modules (HSMs). Connector for AD supports auto-enrollment to ensure AD domain-joined users, computers, and devices get and maintain valid certificates automatically. In addition to Connector for AD, AWS Private CA provides connectors that enable integration with Kubernetes clusters and enterprise mobile device management (MDM) solutions. AD child domain support is available in all regions where both AWS Private CA Connector for AD and AWS Directory Service are available. To learn more about using AWS Private CA with Active Directory child domains, visit the AWS Private CA User Guide.

AWS Marketplace now supports a localized experience in four additional languages

AWS Marketplace has expanded its global accessibility by introducing support for French, Spanish, Korean, and Japanese languages across both the website and AWS console.
