Integrate with PlatformID


SmartID
PlatformID provides integrated world-first support for Apple's Extensible SSO and Platform SSO v1. Seamless single sign-on for Apple devices is now possible with Jamf Pro as the mobile device manager and Cloudwork® as the integrated identity manager.

Background: at the June 2022 WWDC, Apple announced both Extensible SSO and Platform SSO v1, stating that —


Development of PlatformID

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.

Cloudwork® is currently integrating support for Platform SSO v2 into PlatformID.
