Amazon WorkSpaces supports certificate-based authentication on Web Access
News
The article summarizes that Amazon WorkSpaces now supports certificate-based authentication with Windows WorkSpaces on WorkSpaces Streaming Protocol (WSP) bundles using WorkSpaces Web Access.
Specifically, the article covers:
- Users can now authenticate to WorkSpaces desktops using single sign-on (SSO) features of their SAML 2.0 identity provider right from their browser without installing a native client application
- Organizations with users who prefer a web browser experience will benefit from certificate-based authentication
- With certificate-based authentication, organizations can rely more on the authentication features of their SAML 2.0 identity provider, such as passwordless authentication
- The new feature is available in several AWS regions, including US East, US West, Canada, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, South Africa, Israel, and AWS GovCloud
- There are no additional WorkSpaces charges for using certificate-based authentication with Web Access, but AWS Private CA pricing applies for short-lived certificate use cases
