Auth method is local password. The AWS RDS Instance does have Kerberos enable so there is ONE role
that authenticates via AD. I was thinking, maybe, that the local ID was mistakenly trying to authenticate
via AD, failing, and then authenticating locally?? I do have a ticket open with AWS to inquire about this.
Also, I will use strace to gather more info.
