AWS IAM Identity Center now supports Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) via dual-stack endpoints in the AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, completing global availability of this feature across all AWS Regions where IAM Identity Center is available.

IAM Identity Center allows customers to enable workforce access to AWS managed applications and AWS accounts. When your client, such as a browser or an application, makes a request to a dual-stack endpoint, the endpoint resolves to an IPv4 or IPv6 address, depending on the protocol used by your network and client.

To get started, locate the dual-stack access portal URL in the IAM Identity Center console under Settings, and share it with your workforce. For GovCloud deployments, refer to the AWS GovCloud (US) documentation for region-specific endpoint details. To learn more about IPv6 support in IAM Identity Center, see the IAM Identity Center User Guide.
