Configuring the Amazon WorkSpaces broker connection
Amazon WorkSpaces connection is applicable only for PCoIP clients. To configure the Amazon WorkSpaces (AWS) broker
setup:
1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup, and then click Remote Connections.
The Remote Connections dialog box is displayed.
2. In the Broker Setup tab, from the drop-down list, select Amazon WorksSpaces, and do the following:
● Broker Server—Enter the IP address/Hostname/FQDN of the Broker Server.
● Auto Connect List—Enter the name of the desktops that you want to launch automatically after logging in to the
respective broker. More than one desktop can be listed. Each desktop name is separated by a semi-colon, and is
case-sensitive.
● Security mode—Select the preferred Security mode from the following options:
○ Warning —Warn Security requires FQDN address for domain certificate installed in PCM. If certificate is not installed
on the client, corresponding warning message is displayed for you to continue.
○ Full—Full Security requires FQDN address with domain certificate installed in PCM, and certificate installed on the
client.
○ Low—Security allows FQDN/IP address with/without certificate.
○ Default— Follows global security mode settings.
● Connection Protocol— The drop-down list is disabled for AWS broker. By default, the option is set to PCoIP Only.
3. Click OK to save the settings.

Known issues with Amazon Web Services or WorkSpaces
● Key combination Ctrl + Alt disconnects users from AWS session intermittently with old agent in AWS desktop. To fix this
issue, update to latest agent by rebooting the desktop.
● Each user is assigned with one WorkSpaces desktop, and therefore logon with any username returns to the single
desktop and then the session connects automatically. Disconnecting from the desktop returns user to logon screen.
