This integration eliminates the need for administrators to configure separate OIDC applications for desktop sign-in, allowing users authenticated on the web app to log in seamlessly to the desktop version. Administrators enable this by adding a desktop connector via the Amazon Quick console.
The capability supports IAM Identity Center, IAM federation, and native Amazon Quick user accounts, enhancing consistency in sign-in workflows. Alternative identity provider setups remain available for organizations needing separate desktop authentication management. This update is available in AWS Regions supporting full Amazon Quick features.
