You can interact with Simple AD in the same way you do with any other LDAP ( Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) server. You need to be within the VPC but the following code works.

Example

/tmp/username.ldif

dn: CN=Test User,CN=Users,DC=ad,DC=example,DC=org changeType: modify add: objectClass objectClass: ldapPublicKey dn: CN=Test User,CN=Users,DC=ad,DC=example,DC=org changeType: modify add: sshPublicKey sshPublicKey: ssh-rsa ....

ldbmodify --verbose --url "ldap://ad.example.org" --user "SIMPLEAD_USERNAME" --password 'SIMPLE_AD_PASSWORD' /tmp/username.ldif

For further details you can click on the below link.
