![]() We can push Jamf Connect and use the AwaitConfiguration command to ensure that it gets fully installed while the device is in setup assistant mode. As part of the initial MDM enrollment, we can push a package to the device, using the InstallEnterpriseApplication command.If the serial number is part of Apple Business Manager and an enrolled device, Apple will redirect it to the linked MDM server. After a user turns on a macOS device and connects to the internet for the first time, the computer checks in with Apple.The best way to understand Jamf Connect is by viewing the enrollment process. While it's possible for IdP to work properly without Jamf Connect and Jamf Pro, the two combined make it a far smoother process. Jamf Connect is designed to work with these Cloud-based IDP (Identity Providers): Menu bar app: An application that helps users manage their network and local passwords.Login window: An authorization plug-in that modifies the default macOS login process and login window UI.Jamf Connect includes two core components: Jamf Connect is an app that allows administrators to manage authentication by connecting a user's local macOS account to their organization's cloud identity (network account). Active Directory plug-in for macOS has not been fully rationalized by Apple a for few years, which presents issues when a new version of macOS is sent.This doesn’t report the hurdles with FileVault2 control that can also be problematic with the add-on of Secure Token. An admin team using this method might need to educate the users to keep their keychain in sync if they change their AD password. ![]() While macOS AD bind users change their passwords in AD, they’re required to input their old password at the time of login. ![]() The bind also comes with the risk of breaking, and users might encounter challenges in file sharing. Straight bind will never provide the same GPO control that we have over Windows machines.This means it can’t be used outside the local network, which indicates that it’s not useful for macOS. macOS needs a lasting connection to the AD domain.This means that users must rely on the same AD password policies. When using Directory Utility, users will input their Active Directory credentials to access the macOS devices.After the completion of this process, Active Directory users are ready to log into macOS using the respective AD credentials, along with their data saved inside the Active Directory database.Ĭhallenges/pain areas of macOS Active Directory binding.After the credentials have been effectively confirmed, the Active Directory server/ Domain controller receives the macOS device to connect with the Active Directory database.After the joining request is acknowledged, the Active Directory server validates the user credentials (which is necessary in order to join the Active Directory database).The complete process begins with Apple macOS asking to join the Active Directory (AD) domain.The high-level overview process of macOS AD binding macOS updates its machine password and domain SID and then it updates the DNS record in Active Directory.macOS searches the domain for an existing computer record, and it creates a new computer record to use if it cannot find one.macOS joins to what it was told was the nearest domain controller.macOS confirms that it can connect to the LDAP and Kerberos services of the domain controller list from the above step, and Directory Service and kerberosautoconfig create a final Kerberos configuration in /Library/Preferences/ and /var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/config/Kerberos: ist.The domain controller returns a list of the nearest domain controllers, based on the IP subnet of the macOS device.macOS uses the Kerberos configuration, authenticates, and then requests the nearest domain controller.Directory Service’s AD connector creates a preliminary Kerberos configuration, which may be replaced during this process.macOS binds anonymously with LDAP and gathers basic Active Directory domain information.If macOS is not using the DNS server that is integrated with Active Directory, then it will stop to execute. ![]()
