We wanted to share a few updates about new features in Jamf Account that improve SSO management and troubleshooting, as well as new documentation resources for enabling OIDC authentication for platform services.
A new Jamf Account Release History section in our Learning Hub details several improvements:
- A new "Authorize URL" button for Google Workspace OIDC connections, enabling consistent group support across organization types
- Login History tab under Profile, allowing you to view authentication history and ID tokens when using an IdP
- Enhanced error handling with unique reference UUIDs for failed SSO attempts
To help customers migrate to OIDC, we've published a SAML to OIDC Migration Guide that walks through adopting OIDC-based workflows.
The Understanding SSO Authentication Methods guide helps address common questions about IdP choices, OIDC benefits, and authentication options. It includes visual breakdowns of both SAML-based and OIDC-based authentication methods to demonstrate how various integrations work. Whether using federated SSO with your organization's IdP or a Jamf ID, OIDC-based SSO through Jamf Account ensures uniform access management and enables support for additional platform capabilities.
OIDC-based SSO through Jamf Account streamlines login across Jamf products while enabling access to platform capabilities like blueprints and compliance benchmarks. End user authentication for enrollment and Self Service can continue using SAML during your transition.
In addition, there are enhancements coming to Jamf Account on July 31 for for more administrator control over system roles, privileges, and Jamf ID management. We published a separate blog post with details here: https://www.jamf.com/blog/jamf-account-apple-admins-updates/
Your feedback shapes our documentation and guides future improvements. We're committed to enhancing the SSO experience and welcome your thoughts on these updates and resources.
