How does AWS expect us to manage a new Amazon Linux WorkSpace? After they disabled password SSH authentication on November 10th, there is no possible way for me to log into this WorkSpace as a domain administrator.
The documentation they provide on this page is nonsensical and appears AI generated:
To enable password authentication in newly created Amazon Linux 2 WorkSpaces instances
- Open the WorkSpaces console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/workspaces/
- Open Terminal window (Application > System Tools > MATE Terminal).
- In the Terminal window, run the following command.
sudo sed -E -i 's|^#?(PasswordAuthentication)\s.*|\1 yes|' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
First of all, step 1 is completely irrelevant. Why would I open the WorkSpaces console if the next steps you need me to be logged into the WorkSpace and opening the MATE terminal? It sounds like whoever/whatever wrote this has assumed the WorkSpaces console is an actual console connection to the WorkSpace and not the web interface we use to manage them.
And how am I expected to be able to even run this? The user works remotely and the only way to log in to the WorkSpace after Nov 10th 2023 is via the user logging in with their own credentials. I have no way of getting a remote session to the user! They use a zero client on their own network! It is simply impossible. I can't even step them through running that command because it requires sudo access, something the user does not have!
How exactly does AWS propose I actually set up this WorkSpace now that they have removed the only possible way for a sysadmin to actually log in and manage it?
