Q-Index now supports seamless application-level authentication

We are excited to announce Q-Index now supports seamless application level authentication for its SearchRelevantContent (SRC) API, simplifying the end-user experience when using Q-Index to retrieve enterprise content.
In the common Amazon Q-Index scenario where a 3rd party application integrates with the Q-Index SRC API, end-users first log into their application in order to use its core features, but when they need to get answers from their enterprise content, the SRC API implemented inside the 3rd party application requires the end-user to authenticate once again, this time against AWS IAM, in order to securely retrieve content from their enterprise knowledge sources. This two-stage authentication is redundant for the user.

To simplify the user authentication experience, Q-Index's support for seamless application authentication provides a Trusted Token Issuer (TTI) mechanism for developers to issue their own security tokens, trusted by the Q-Index SRC API. End users can therefore just login once into their 3rd party applications and get answers from enterprise content using Q-Index, without authenticating a second time to use this functionality.

Q-Index's support for seamless application authentication is available in the US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Ireland), and Asia Pacific (Sydney) AWS Regions. For more information, please consult our documentation.
