Integrate with PlatformID^™

Development of PlatformID^™

However, to support these new features, IdP providers needed to build an installable extension for the managed Mac devices. Cloudwork^® responded to Apple's announcements by committing to integrate these new SSO features, and in a significant first for local innovation, went on to develop PlatformID^™, supporting Apple Mac's Extensible SSO and Platform SSO v1.

One dashboard with enormous efficiency: PlatformID^™ provides streamlined device management using Jamf Pro as the mobile device manager (MDM) and Cloudwork^® as the identity provider.

Next Steps for PlatformID^™

At the June 2023 WWDC, Apple announced Platform SSO v2, significantly enhancing its functional range and value. Platform SSO v2 —

• Supports only-local accounts, a modern replacement for binding to directory services.
• Integrates into macOS, without using JavaScript or rendering webpages for authentication.
• Creates new users on demand at the login window using Identity Provider (IdP) credentials.
• Integrates IdP group membership with macOS, so mobile device management (MDM) configurable groups can manage account permissions.
• Enables Groups to be used to authorise network accounts.
• Supports multiple authentication methods with IdPs.
