Prerequisites for Embedding Amazon WorkSpaces Applications Streaming Sessions

A configured WorkSpaces Applications environment that includes an WorkSpaces Applications image, fleet, and stack. For information about how to create these resources, see the following topics in the WorkSpaces Applications Administration Guide:

Tutorial: Create a Custom WorkSpaces Applications Image by Using the WorkSpaces Applications Console or Create Your Amazon WorkSpaces Applications Image Programmatically by Using the Image Assistant CLI Operations
Create a Fleet in Amazon WorkSpaces Applications
Create a Stack in Amazon WorkSpaces Applications

A streaming URL for user authentication. SAML 2.0 and WorkSpaces Applications user pools are currently not supported as authentication methods for embedded WorkSpaces Applications streaming sessions.

Optionally, you can use custom domains for embedded WorkSpaces Applications streaming sessions. You can use custom domains so that your own company URL displays for users rather than an WorkSpaces Applications URL. Custom domains are required if your users have web browsers that block third-party cookies.

Note

You can configure custom domains by using Amazon CloudFront. For information, see Using Custom Domains with WorkSpaces Applications.

When you use a custom domain, you must:

Create a streaming URL that uses the same domain.
Add appstream-custom-url-domain to the header of the webpage that will host the embedded WorkSpaces Applications streaming sessions. For the header value, use the domain that your reverse proxy displays to users. For more information, see Configuration Requirements for Using Custom Domains.
