Good morning All,

Been trying to get my new MAC Neo’s (one for now) to authenticate at the machine level to WIFI so we can control them.  We’re attempting to use the SSO extension, I actually have all of that setup.  But my issue is that I don’t have WIFI at the login screen on the Mac.  For the life of me I can’t figure out what I am missing or what I have configured wrong.  It all appears right.  The cert itself is deploying, and it does actually work to connect to WIFI and the SSID I have running.  But the moment I log out as the user I lose WIFI and no one else can sign in.  The Neo’s are going to be for a shared environment.  That's why I want WIFI to work at that level.  Any suggestions?

I run a configuration Profile, set to Computer level, and Auto install and auto Join.
In the profile is the Cert and WiFi access password and password. All you need to do is set up the device on one ssid, and then once it has the profile “Forget “ The setup SSID.
Mine is for shared MacBooks that they sign into using Jamf Connect.

Yes to all of the above.  But it still doesn’t work.
