I have managed to integrate QuickSight with Azure AD following the link below. I would like to know how to create a user-friendly access URL for Amazon QuickSight so that users can easily access the application with a meaningful application name.

Hi @Asfak

Currently QuickSight natively doesn’t support custom domain / vanity url endpoint for accessing QuickSight console.

One alternative approach is to use QuickSight console embedding, as described here: Managing domains and embedding - Amazon QuickSight this way you create the portal with required domain names and embed QuickSight console inside via iframe.

Thanks

Thanks for your response Vinod.

My URL is https://ap-southeast-2.quicksight.aws.amazon.com/sn/auth/signin?enable-sso=1
While trying to add the CNAME in DNS, below error is occurred. Is there anyway to get a shorter version of the URL or any other alternatives to handle this?

  • CNAME records gives this error: A DNS label must not exceed 63 characters.
  • The DNS label must contain only the following characters: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, -, and _.

@Asfak Currently, QuickSight does not support vanity urls, and the CNAME trick won’t work. We use cookies and other things scoped to our specific public domain names.

One alternative is to use our public QuickSight console embedding, as described here: Managing domains and embedding - Amazon QuickSight that way you can create the portal where you want on your own page and then embed the whole quicksight experience inside of that via an iframe.
