# FIPS Endpoints for Administrative Use
<a name="FIPS-for-administrative-use"></a>

To specify a FIPS endpoint when you run an AWS CLI command for WorkSpaces Applications, use the `endpoint-url` parameter. The following example uses the WorkSpaces Applications FIPS endpoint in the US West (Oregon) Region to retrieve a list of all stacks in the Region:

```
aws appstream describe-stacks --endpoint-url https://appstream2-fips.us-west-2.amazonaws.com
```

To specify a FIPS endpoint for WorkSpaces Applications API operations, use the procedure in your AWS SDK for specifying a custom endpoint.
