Custom Branding
Administrators may choose to add custom branding to their Kasm deployment.
Application Branding
Kasm allows administrators to define multiple branding configurations that are chosen by the system based on the URL hostname the users accesses the system with.
Tip
Changes to branding may take up to 90 seconds to be apply since certain requests are cached by the system. When regularly changing and testing branding settings it is best to use the following steps to observe the changes:
Wait 90 seconds after the configuration change is made.
Logout of the Kasm UI.
Navigate the browser to the login page, and do a hard refesh of the page (Typcially CTRL+F5) or clear the browser cache.
Login and verify changes.
Note
This feature is available in Kasm Workspaces Enterprise.
Branding Configs can be defined in the UI by an administrator under Settings -> Branding.
