Today we released Jamf Connect 2.10.0 for general availability; this release includes the below details.

Key Feature Content

Display an Acceptable Use Policy via URL: You can now populate Jamf Connect's Acceptable Use Policy screen via URL. This eliminates the need to create and deploy an Acceptable Use Policy TXT or PDF file to computers alongside Jamf Connect.

Default Password Verification Interval Change: The Password Verification Interval (NetworkCheck) setting is now set to one hour rather than 15 minutes by default. Extending the default interval mitigates the risk of the Jamf Connect menu bar app unexpectedly locking out a user from their identity provider (IdP) resources in environments where authentication frequency limits exist.

Customer OpenID Connect Scopes Support for Menu Bar App: The Jamf Connect menu bar app now supports the Scopes (Scopes) setting. This allows you to receive additional OpenID Connect claims, such as email, in a user's ID token during sign-in with Jamf Connect. To use this setting, include this key-value in the IdPSettings dictionary of a menu bar configuration profile.

This setting resolves [PI109710].

Resolved Issues

  • [JC-2918] Jamf Connect now starts after a user's account is created instead of the native Apple Setup Assistant window.

  • [JC-2925] Jamf Connect menu bar now consistently retrieves Kerberos tickets when a user changes their network and during Jamf Connect network checks.

  • [JC-2585] The Shutdown, Restart, and Local Login buttons are now hidden from the Jamf Connect login window when the Acceptable Use Policy screen displays.

  • [JC-3703] When users change their password using Jamf Connect, passwords for keychain items specified in Jamf Connect Configuration are automatically updated to match their new password.

  • [PI109771] Using a third party MFA provider for pass-through authentication no longer produces a ROPG failure that results in users reentering their password. Users now enter their password one time.

  • [JC-3030] Kerberos tickets are no longer destroyed if a user disables VPN and the menu bar preference key CacheTicketsOnNetworkChange is set to True.

  • [PI109830] The Jamf Connect login background image now appears behind the "Welcome to your new Mac!" login screens instead of appearing as a black screen.

Thanks Jamf Team!

JC-2918 really had me scratching my head before it was listed as a PI.
