I use VSCode to develop python scripts on a AWS ec2-instance using Remote-SSH see vscode documentation. I'd like to use AWS Toolkit and Amazon Q Developer Pro. I installed the extensions via vscode marketplace on the AWS ec2 instance - no erros. But when I try to connect to AWS IAM Identity Center I get the following error:

 [error] API response (oidc.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com /client/register): { errno: -104, code: 'ECONNRESET', syscall: 'read', name: 'TimeoutError' } [error] ssoSetup encountered an error: TimeoutError: read ECONNRESET [ECONNRESET] [error] webviewId="aws.toolkit.AmazonCommonAuth": Error: Webview error -> Error: Webview backend command failed: "createIdentityCenterConnection()" -> TimeoutError: read ECONNRESET [ECONNRESET]

When I try the same in a different VSCode dev project with AWS Toolkit and/or Amazon Q Developer installed locally (no remote SSH involved) - it works fine

I configured aws cli on the AWS ec2 instance and configured SSO and executing aws sso login --sso-session <XXX> --no-browse - it works fine when manually copying the URL to a browser to authenticate

I suppose it fails because the remote ssh/AWS ec2 instance cannot manage to open a browser for signing-in to AWS IAM Identity Center.

How can I get this to work

Thank you so much for your assistance

  • Update: I found something here: code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/…. Sounds to me that AWS Toolkit/Amazon Q Developer extensions must implement vscode.env.openExternal API Commented Feb 17 at 15:50

In the meantime I found a workaround: You need to install the vscode extensions locally - see https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh#_advanced-forcing-an-extension-to-run-locally-remotely
