Connecting to a Amazon DCV session using the web browser client

The steps for connecting to a Amazon DCV session are the same across all supported web browsers. The client connects to the Amazon DCV server using your web browser's proxy settings. To connect using different proxy settings, see the documentation for your specific web browser.

Note

The web browser client doesn't support the QUIC (UDP) transport protocol.

To connect to your Amazon DCV session using the web browser client

1. Open a web browser and enter the Amazon DCV server URL in the following format:

   https://server_hostname_or_IP:port/#session_id

   In the following example, the URL connects to a session that's named my-session. This session is hosted on a Amazon DCV server with the hostname my-dcv-server.com. It's connected over port 8443.

   https://my-dcv-server.com:8443/#my-session

2. Enter your sign-in credentials and choose Login.

   Note

   By default, the connection is terminated after three unsuccessful login attempts. To try again, restart the connection.

3. Your web browser might warn you that the server's certificate isn't trusted. If you're unsure about the authenticity of the certificate, confirm it with your Amazon DCV administrator. Proceed if it's safe to do so.

   Note

   This step varies depending on the web browser that you're using.
