zce8z (zce8z) asked a question.
Has anyone built anything to use Okta for authentication to AWS WorkSpaces? We have a customer who wants to use it, but the native MFA tokens all require Google Authenticator. We want to use Okta for our MultiFactor requests so that users can sign in with their credentials, but upon login, get prompted for their Okta MFA token (ideally, Okta Verify).
Hello,
Thank you for your post on the Okta Community.
The article that we have related to Amazon Workspace is:
https://help.okta.com/en/prod/Content/Topics/Security/AmaznWS_App.htm
Which requires Active Directory, AD Agent and Radius Agent.
For more information please open up a ticket with Customer Support giving as many details as possible.
Best regards,

Hi Jason - we've gotten Okta MFA to work with our Amazon Workspaces via the Radius setup. Unfortunately neither Amazon not Okta had documentation about which MFA methods were supported or how to handle but after a lot of trial and error I figured it out and created an instructional one pager powerpoint for users. In MFA field, either put the okta verify or google authenticator 6 digit pin or first put in "push" for okta verify, "sms" for sms or "call" for phone authentication then approve on phone or enter the pin provided). here's a screenshot of it. Good luck!
