Hi Team,  
I worked on hosted Elasticsearch (2.4 and 5.1) and configured to authenticate from active directory. Now i am doing a POC with AWS managed Elasticsearch (5.1). Can we configure active directory authentication with AWS ES service, if not directly can you suggest alternative.

Another option is to use proxy server before ES, but i am trying to avoid that option.

Thanks & Regards
