With Amazon WorkSpaces, you can quickly scale to provide thousands of desktops to workers across the globe. You can use Amazon WorkSpaces to provision either Windows or Linux desktops in a few minutes. Amazon WorkSpaces is a managed, secure cloud desktop service. In this blog post, we show how to configure FreeRADIUS and LinOTP for multi-factor authentication to Amazon WorkSpaces. This uses CloudFormation to deploy this solution in a new or existing Directory Service. If you want an automated deployment of this solution, you can use the FreeRADIUS MFA with Amazon WorkSpaces reference architecture for an end-to-end deployment in your AWS account.
