Connect to WorkSpaces Applications

Follow these steps to connect to WorkSpaces Applications and start an application streaming session.

  1. If your administrator requires you to sign in first through your organization's sign-in page, complete the tasks in this step, then proceed to step 3.

    If your administrator doesn't require you to sign in through your organization's sign-in page, skip the tasks in this step and proceed to step 2.

    1. Navigate to your organizational sign-in page and enter your domain credentials when prompted.

    2. After you sign in, you are redirected to the WorkSpaces Applications Application Manager catalog page, which displays one or more applications that are available for your WorkSpaces Applications streaming session. Desktop View is also available, if enabled by your administrator.

    3. Choose an application or, if available, Desktop View.

  2. If your administrator doesn't require you to sign in first through your organization's sign-in page, complete the following steps to start the WorkSpaces Applications client:

    1. On your local computer where the WorkSpaces Applications client is installed, choose Amazon WorkSpaces Applications to start the WorkSpaces Applications client.

    2. Do either of the following:

      • If the client sign-in page is prepopulated with a web address (URL), choose Connect. You will be redirected to the system's default web browser for authentication before transitioning into the streaming session in the macOS client.

      • If the client sign-in page is not prepopulated with a URL, enter the URL that your WorkSpaces Applications administrator provided for WorkSpaces Applications, and then choose Connect. You might also be redirected to the system's default web browser for authentication before transitioning into the streaming session in the macOS client. If you don't know the URL, contact your administrator.

    3. After a few moments, the WorkSpaces Applications Application Manager catalog page opens, displaying one or more applications that are available for your WorkSpaces Applications streaming session. Desktop View is also available, if enabled by your administrator.

    4. Choose an application or, if available, Desktop View.

  3. Depending on the authentication settings that your WorkSpaces Applications administrator enabled, after you choose an application or Desktop View, you might be prompted to enter your Active Directory domain credentials to sign in to your WorkSpaces Applications session. If this is the case, enter your Active Directory domain password, and then choose Password sign in.
