Add the app

  1. In the Admin Console, go to ApplicationsApplications.
  2. Click Browse App Catalog.
  3. Search for AWS WorkSpaces, select it, and then click Add Integration.
  4. Enter a unique app label, and then click Next.
  5. Select the Sign-On Options tab, and then do the following actions:
    • Select the Authentication checkbox.
    • Enter a UDP Port number, like 1812. The UDP port values of the app and the client gateway must match.
    • Enter the Secret Key to use to encrypt the user password. The secret key for the app and the client gateway must match.
    • Select Email from the Application username format dropdown list to import users with their full username@domain.com value.
  6. Click Save in the Settings section.
  7. Enable an authentication protocol:
    1. Scroll to the Authentication Protocol section of the Sign On tab.
    2. Click Edit.
    3. Select an authentication protocol:
      • Use EAP-TTLS authentication: Upload the server certificate chain and entity private key. See About certificates. Enter the password used to protect the certificate and key. Okta recommends password-protecting certificates and keys. Select the TLS version.
      • Use PAP authentication: Select this option to use Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) authentication. When you select this option, the Require Message-Authenticator for incoming client requests checkbox appears. Select this option to require and verify the Message-Authenticator attribute and create a more secure authentication process.
    4. Click Save.
