#JAMF PRO OKTA SOFTWARE#

SSO software is an authentication tool that allows users to access multiple web applications with a single set of credentials. With the rise in cloud-based IT tools, numerous single sign-on (SSO) vendors emerged. With the emergence of web applications, admins hunted for add-on tools to extend AD’s identities to web applications. As you can imagine, this becomes limiting for IT admins in terms of scaling identity management across their organizations. AD alone requires significant on-prem infrastructure to implement and maintain. And while AD does offer IT admins centralized identity management (IAM), it works best in Windows ®-centric environments. Virtually all IT organizations leveraged the on-prem identity provider AD to manage employee access and permission control. With this infusion of cloud-based tools, IT organizations needed to bridge legacy, on-prem systems with new SaaS systems.

This approach of layering add-on software systems began in the early 2000’s, with the rise of cloud-based systems, or Software-as-as-Service platforms (SaaS). Let’s discuss why IT admins consider layering AD + Okta + Jamf, the challenges with add-ons, and the best approach for access control and device management. And while layering add-ons to on-prem solutions (such as AD) does offer IT organizations some benefits, this often does not compare to the robust functionality of a single cloud-based access control system. In this new era of cloud IT management tools, many IT professionals compare JumpCloud ® with Microsoft ® Active Directory ® + Okta ® + Jamf. A software “add-on” is a third party program or script that is used to extend the features and or functionality of a system – either on-premises or cloud-based. If you haven't maybe even post this in r/JAMF if you havent already.To solve core access control and software system management challenges, IT administrators have been finding and implementing add-on solutions for years now. Take what I say with a grain of salt and maybe someone here has more recent experience with JAMF as it's been almost 3 years since I even looked or thought about JAMF.

#JAMF PRO OKTA PASSWORD#

We started with very basic rule sets (Screen lock time, minimum password requirements, etc) they gradually upscaled security until root was taken away among other things, and eventually introduced Apple equivalent to what NoMAD was (now JAMF Connect) to force password changes.

It would be a good way to keep people accountable instead of looking at a spreadsheet of serial numbers and usernames and checking them off manually like we first did.Īlso, from my experience and if you are coming from non-managed Mac's and if you are working with developers (software engineers/QA/etc) who are used to full control they are going to complain if you start with max restrictions off the rip.

Or you can just have the enrollment bookmark in the user's Okta profile and name it (Enroll your Mac or something) and have some Workflow logic check that user's computer is enrolled in JAMF and remove the bookmark from the user if it is successfully enrolled.

#JAMF PRO OKTA INSTALL#

I never specifically set up JAMF enrollment via Okta but I believe it can support it with Okta Workflows but wouldn't even know how that would work from a technical perspective as the agent needs to install the MDM profile on the device first.

And the other piece is the SAML setup in JAMF is pretty straightforward (see Okta guides). Obviously, there are 2 pieces to this and it's been a long time since I managed JAMF but if you are looking for user-initiated enrollment and don't plan on leveraging auto-enrollment via Apple Business/School Manager, documentation on JAMF is pretty informative as users just need to simply go to a URL login and they will get an installer to run on their local machine.
