We’ve just released Jamf School 9.2.21 with exciting updates, bug fixes and enhancements including Support for Bootstrap Token Functionality.
Jamf School can now automatically escrow bootstrap tokens sent by computers with macOS 11 or later during enrollment and computers with macOS 10.15 or later after enrollment. Bootstrap token eliminates the need to request additional authentication information when a network user logs in to a computer with a mobile account and the account does not have a SecureToken associated with it. After the bootstrap token is escrowed, it is requested from Jamf School each time an eligible mobile account logs in to a computer. The computer then automatically generates a SecureToken for the mobile account. After the user is issued a SecureToken, their account can be used for macOS services that require cryptographic privileges, such as FileVault authentication.
In addition, if an Automated Device Enrollment profile is configured to create an additional local administrator account during enrollment in the macOS Settings in the Automated Device Enrollment profile, that account is also eligible to receive the Bootstrap Token when it logs in to a computer.
