Customize WorkSpace branding

Amazon WorkSpaces allows you to create a familiar WorkSpaces experience for your users by using APIs to customize the appearance of your WorkSpace's login page with your own branding logo, IT support information, forgot password link, and login message. Your branding will be displayed to your users in their WorkSpace login page rather than the default WorkSpaces branding.

The following clients are supported:

Import custom branding

To import your client branding customization, use the action ImportClientBranding, which includes the following elements. See ImportClientBranding API reference for more information.

The following are sample code snippets for using ImportClientBranding.

Amazon CLI Version 2

aws workspaces import-client-branding \
--cli-input-json file://~/Downloads/import-input.json \
--region us-west-2

The import JSON file should look like the following sample code:

{
    "ResourceId": "<directory-id>",
    "DeviceTypeOsx": {
        "Logo": "iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAIAAAACCAYAAABytg0kAAAAC0lEQVR42mNgQAcAABIAAeRVjecAAAAASUVORK5CYII=",
        "ForgotPasswordLink": "https://amazon.com/",
        "SupportLink": "https://amazon.com/",
        "LoginMessage": {
            "en_US": "Hello!!"
        }
    }
}

The following sample Java code snippet converts the logo image into a base64-encoded string:

// Read image as BufferImage
BufferedImage bi = ImageIO.read(new File("~/Downloads/logo.png"));
   
// convert BufferedImage to byte[]
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ImageIO.write(bi, "png", baos);
byte[] bytes = baos.toByteArray();
       
//convert byte[] to base64 format and print it
String bytesBase64 = Base64.encodeBase64String(bytes);
System.out.println(bytesBase64);

The following sample Python code snippet converts the logo image into a base64-encoded string:

# Read logo into base64-encoded string
with open("~/Downloads/logo.png", "rb") as image_file:
    f = image_file.read()
    base64_string = base64.b64encode(f)
    print(base64_string)

Java

// Create WS Client
WorkSpacesClient client = WorkSpacesClient.builder().build();

// Read image as BufferImage
BufferedImage bi = ImageIO.read(new File("~/Downloads/logo.png"));

// convert BufferedImage to byte[]
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ImageIO.write(bi, "png", baos);
byte[] bytes = baos.toByteArray();
    
// Create import attributes for the plateform 
DefaultImportClientBrandingAttributes attributes =
        DefaultImportClientBrandingAttributes.builder()
                .logo(SdkBytes.fromByteArray(bytes))
                .forgotPasswordLink("https://aws.amazon.com/")
                .supportLink("https://aws.amazon.com/")
                .build();
                    
// Create import request
ImportClientBrandingRequest request = 
        ImportClientBrandingRequest.builder()
                .resourceId("<directory-id>")
                .deviceTypeOsx(attributes)
                .build();
                    
// Call ImportClientBranding API
ImportClientBrandingResponse response = client.importClientBranding(request);

Python

import boto3

# Read logo into bytearray
with open("~/Downloads/logo.png", "rb") as image_file:
    f = image_file.read()
    bytes = bytearray(f)

# Create WorkSpaces client
client = boto3.client('workspaces')

# Call import API
response = client.import_client_branding(
    ResourceId='<directory-id>',
    DeviceTypeOsx={
        'Logo': bytes,
        'SupportLink': 'https://aws.amazon.com/',
        'ForgotPasswordLink': 'https://aws.amazon.com/',
        'LoginMessage': {
            'en_US': 'Hello!!'
        }
    }
)

PowerShell

#Requires -Modules @{ ModuleName="AWS.Tools.WorkSpaces"; ModuleVersion="4.1.56"}

# Specify Image Path
$imagePath = "~/Downloads/logo.png"

# Create Byte Array from image file
$imageByte = ([System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($imagePath))

# Call import API
Import-WKSClientBranding -ResourceId <directory-id> `
    -DeviceTypeLinux_LoginMessage @{en_US="Hello!!"} `
    -DeviceTypeLinux_Logo $imageByte `
    -DeviceTypeLinux_ForgotPasswordLink "https://aws.amazon.com/" `
    -DeviceTypeLinux_SupportLink "https://aws.amazon.com/"

To preview the login page, launch the WorkSpaces application or web login page.

Describe custom branding

To see the details of the client branding customization you currently have, use the action DescribeCustomBranding. The following is the sample script for using DescribeClientBranding. See DescribeClientBranding API reference for more information.

aws workspaces describe-client-branding \
