RDS SQL server TLS/SSL encrytion from application servers

Need to encrypt data in transit from application severs to RDS SQL server with SSL/TLS?

I see aws gives the option to make force encryption = true in parameter group with self signed certs.

Is there a way to use customer certs to import into RDS?

Any configuration steps to do this at application server and on RDS?

Appreciate any info on this . Didn't find anything in AWS knowledge base. Note: Application servers sit behind load balancer.

For RDS SQL Server you will need to use the PEM that AWS provides for TLS.

You have a choice of either:

The application server will need to have access to this certificate before it can connect to the RDS instance.

Unfortunately at this time only Aurora supports uploading your own certificates (and then accessing via ACM), you will need to use the provided one.

For connecting and configuring the RDS there is a specific Using SSL with a Microsoft SQL Server DB Instance page.
