Managing Amazon DCV sessions

Focus mode
Managing Amazon DCV sessions - Amazon DCV

Once the Amazon DCV servers are set up and all your applications are installed, your clients access them through a secured session. Managing these sessions for your client grants them access and sets the parameters for each session.

Before your clients can connect to one, you must create a Amazon DCV session on your Amazon DCV server. Clients can only connect to a Amazon DCV server if there's an active session.

Every Amazon DCV session has the following attributes:

  • session ID — Used to identify a specific session on the Amazon DCV server.

  • Owner — The Amazon DCV user who created the session. By default, only an owner can connect to the session.

Amazon DCV clients need this information to connect to the session.
