With this feature, administrators can assign custom domain names to Secure Browser portals, replacing default URLs and providing a more seamless access experience. Setup involves adding the custom domain and configuring a reverse proxy, such as Amazon CloudFront, with traffic routed securely through the proxy.

Authentication supports both AWS Identity Center and external identity providers, including SAML-based IdP-initiated and service provider-initiated flows. The capability is available at no extra cost across multiple AWS regions, applicable for organizations managing virtual desktop environments and browser-based security.
