SSO Authentication for AWS Workspaces with IAM Identity Center Directory Integration

1

Hello,

Our infrastructure is set up to use the Identity Center directory. We don't want to change the identity source. Can SSO authentication be used on AWS Workspaces with an IAM Identity Center configured with Identity Center directory as the identity source ? Can we synchronize AWS users with AD upon login to use the SSO portal to access a Workspace ?

Accepted Answer

You can use one of the following options:

  • AD Connector — Use your existing on-premises Microsoft Active Directory. Users can sign into their WorkSpaces using their on-premises credentials and access on-premises resources from their WorkSpaces.
  • AWS Managed Microsoft AD — Create a Microsoft Active Directory hosted on AWS.
  • Simple AD — Create a directory that is compatible with Microsoft Active Directory, powered by Samba 4, and hosted on AWS.
  • Cross trust — Create a trust relationship between your AWS Managed Microsoft AD directory and your on-premises domain.

IAM Identity Center is not an option for Workspaces
