Enabling Web Access for Simulation

One of the key pre-requisites for starting the simulation is, the simulator should be configured with the URL of the Amazon WorkSpaces that it needs to access. By default, only certain device types are enabled to access the WorkSpaces using this URL. Sometimes, the simulation may fail to start even though all the required pre-requisites are fulfilled. In such cases, administrators should check for the device types that are enabled to access the WorkSpaces using the configured URL. eG Enterprise by default, uses web based access for simulation of the Amazon WorkSpaces. This Web based access option should be chosen by the administrators to ensure that the simulation starts. To enable the web based access option do the following:

1. Login to the Amazon Web Service console. Click the Services drop down and select the WorkSpaces option as shown in Figure 3.
