Login to Mac using Azure AD

[bmichael]

We will be having Jamf on site in a couple weeks to do the jumpstart. One thing we are rolling out with the PCs is logging in to the machine using their Azure AD credentials. Is there currently anyway to login to the Macs using Azure credentials?

@rskolden - That article relates to providing SSO for logging in to the JSS not the local machine.

@bmichael - This is something we're wanting to look at too...it is likely to be something that the newly launched Jamf Connect product will provide in the future once Jamf developers add SAML 2.0 (currently only Okta is supported).

The roadmap for Jamf Connect is sketchy at the moment as Jamf only acquired Orchard & Grove on 19th September - hopefully Jamf will add some clarity on this in the near future.

I think binding and or linking passwords back to identity provider is a thing of the past... (IMO and I think Apples too) Almost everyone allowed iPhones in their environment with only a pin... Why do we require more for any OS?

@jsherwood you are correct, we are wanting the users to be able to login to the mac with their Azure AD credentials.
