Amazon Workspaces ? (Add-On)

avatar

Hi,

I've just been handed an 'Amazon Workspaces VDI' to use.

It seems to run off a local binary ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Amazon Web Services, Inc\Amazon WorkSpaces\workspaces.exe").

Any plans to create an 'Add-On' for this ?

I had a look in the list, and I don't see one.

Many Thanks

Hello,
Do you know if they support parameters in the command line?

Looks like they do (see attached).

Right now I've setup a 'cmd' execution session, and it 'kinda' works.
I get the initial app screen to login, but afterwards they spawn their 'remote VDI' window.

This VDI window spawns externally to the RDM app, when I would prefer it to be 'tabbed'.
Any way I can force spawned windows into tabs ?

My only other problem is one you can't fix. As the desktop admin has enabled MFA, and I have to get the 'shared key' before I can login.
Any help would be nice.

BTW .. Bonne Fete Nationale :)

Nice,
It should not be hard to do an add-on. Have you tried the display embedded to see if it work? It might not work since it's a complex UI. For example it does not work for VNC and Team Viewer.

What kind of MFA do you use?

BTW: Merci :)

Yeah, I tried the 'Embedded' display, and it captured the initial window; but the 'spawned' window was a new external window.
The original stays, so I am guessing it creates a new thread or process; which probably sets it's own window settings.

I'll try running it with switches (a one off test), and see if the window stays embedded.

The MFA is a complex one. You login to a website (which I nicely captured in RDM), answer some random questions (from a list you set) and then you're given the key (valid only for 2 mins).
So, I am thinking I will need to get that first, and somehow give it to the other 'session' before I launch.
