This is an awesome step forward, allowing Mac users to have a single cloud ID to sign into any device ( AzureAD can even be used to sign into ChromeBooks if SAML authentication is provided via Chrome Management Console). If the server certificate is not natively trusted, in Jamf Pro, you need to add the trusted root certificate of the CA that issued the server certificate.

Account setup and synchronization with Azure Active Directory will happen automatically behind the scenes. Microsoft’s Active Directory NetIQ eDirectory Note: When your configuration uses SSL, the LDAP server must be configured to issue the server certificate when Jamf Pro requests an SSL connection. This will simplify life for end users by enabling them to enter only one set of credentials to access their Mac and immediately use cloud-based services registered with Azure Active Directory (e.g., Microsoft Office 365). This is all changing with a recent announcement from JAMF.Īuthentication: With Jamf Connect (available with Jamf Pro or independent of Jamf Pro), formerly NoMAD premium solutions, users will be able to authenticate to their Mac with their Azure Active Directory credentials. To date, MacOS has not supported AzureAD authentication in the OS itself meaning you could not sign into the device with your cloud identity (you could join it to a local on-premise domain if you wished to).

This works natively in Windows 10 of course, allowing for rapid deployment using modern management of devices. To reduce the friction at sign-in, centralizing the identity of the user in the cloud with AzureAD is a smart move. The point is, device and OS mobility is something most end users experience over time and inside education institutions students and teachers often use a multitude of different devices.

Since then, I’ve used almost every flavour of Windows (skipped Vista thankfully), multiple Linux desktop distros (Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, YellowDog), OS X / MacOS and now love using Windows 10 exclusively on my Surface Laptop.

I’ve used a lot of different operating systems over the years, in fact my first exposure to a Personal Computer (PC) was built by my dad based on the Apple II – being from New Zealand he extended the fruit naming convention and called it a “Kiwifruit”. My first experience of a PC was similar to this, called the Kiwifruit and made by my dad.
