A Company Wants to Provide Desktop as a Service (DaaS)

question 540

Multiple Choice

A company wants to provide desktop as a service (DaaS) to a number of employees using Amazon WorkSpaces. WorkSpaces will need to access files and services hosted on premises with authorization based on the company's Active Directory. Network connectivity will be provided through an existing AWS Direct Connect connection. The solution has the following requirements: Credentials from Active Directory should be used to access on-premises files and services. Credentials from Active Directory should not be stored outside the company. End users should have single sign-on (SSO) to on-premises files and services once connected to WorkSpaces. Which strategy should the solutions architect use for end user authentication?

• A) Create an AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory (AWS Managed Microsoft AD) directory within the WorkSpaces VPC. Use the Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT) with the Password Export Server to copy users from the on-premises Active Directory to AWS Managed Microsoft AD. Set up a one-way trust allowing users from AWS Managed Microsoft AD to access resources in the on-premises Active Directory. Use AWS Managed Microsoft AD as the directory for WorkSpaces.
• B) Create a service account in the on-premises Active Directory with the required permissions. Create an AD Connector in AWS Directory Service to be deployed on premises using the service account to communicate with the on-premises Active Directory. Ensure the required TCP ports are open from the WorkSpaces VPC to the on-premises AD Connector. Use the AD Connector as the directory for WorkSpaces.
• C) Create a service account in the on-premises Active Directory with the required permissions. Create an AD Connector in AWS Directory Service within the WorkSpaces VPC using the service account to communicate with the on-premises Active Directory. Use the AD Connector as the directory for WorkSpaces.
• D) Create an AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory (AWS Managed Microsoft AD) directory in the AWS Directory Service within the WorkSpaces VPC. Set up a one-way trust allowing users from the on-premises Active Directory to access resources in the AWS Managed Microsoft AD. Use AWS Managed Microsoft AD as the directory for WorkSpaces. Create an identity provider with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) from an on-premises ADFS server. Allow users from this identity provider to assume a role with a policy allowing them to run WorkSpaces.
