best way to do URL redirect in Azure to an application in MyApps?

Question

We are deploying a cloud application using SSO in Azure AD. The application has been configured as an Enterprise Application and the SSO is working as expected.
The issue is that the user access URL for the application is not very friendly, something like:
https://myapps.microsoft.com/signin/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789123?tenantId=12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789123

We would like to setup a URL redirect so that our users have a more friendly URL, like:
https://myapplication.mydomain.com

So, what we need is a simple web redirect:
https://myapplication.mydomain.com >>> https://myapps.microsoft.com/signin/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789123?tenantId=12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789123

We don't want to host this URL redirect on-prem to avoid that dependency for accessing a cloud application and we know that there are several ways we can achieve that in Azure, such as: Web App service, App gateway or even a full VM with IIS.

Since we are relatively new in the Azure environment, we would like to know what would be the easiest and more reliable way to do this URL redirect?

Thanks!

Hey @Garcia, Ernesto ,

You can use Azure Front Door to easily redirect a URL based on path. This step-by-step quick start guide shows how to configure URL rewrite using Front Door. Front Door is a Layer-7 load balancer so it really fits with what you're trying to do.
