Does AWS Workspaces (NOT WEB) support SAML?

Question

Does AWS Workspaces (NOT WEB) support SAML?  I see support for AWS Managed Microsoft AD, Simple AD, and AD Connector.

Answer

Amazon WorkSpaces now has a public preview for SAML support: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2022/08/preview-amazon-workspaces-integration-saml-2-0/

For information on how to get started, see refer to the admin guide: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/workspaces/latest/adminguide/amazon-workspaces-saml.html

Answer

Amazon WorkSpaces currently only supports authenticating users from Active Directory. It does not support federating user identity from a SAML IdP.

If you have an account manager, please reach out to them to learn more or request this feature.
