Integrating Jamf Connect with an Identity Provider

You must integrate Jamf Connect with your cloud identity provider (IdP) to do the following on computers:

  • Use Jamf Connect Login to create a local account

  • Continuously manage cloud authentication on computers after enrollment.

  • Use Jamf Connect Sync or Verify to keep a user's local and network passwords in sync.

This integration must be completed with settings available in your IdP's administrator console, portal, or a similar tool.

Note: If using Okta, Jamf Connect leverages Okta's Authentication API. No additional configuration is needed to perform simple authentication.

To integrate Jamf Connect with IdPs using the OpenID Connect authentication protocol, the following workflow is generally used:

  1. Create a Jamf Connect app integration in your IdP—Follow the IdP specific steps in the Jamf Connect Administrator's Guide to add the app to your IdP. Adding the app will generate a Client ID, which is used to configure Jamf Connect Login.

  2. Assign users and designate user roles—Add users or roles to the app as needed. Configuring a role allows you to determine whether users are created as an "admin" or a "standard" user during account creation.
