Jamf Connect is utilized to connect devices to our corporate applications from a single device through the cloud. We have migrated approximately 400 users already, but we still have a few more to go.
Jamf Connect is a tool for authentication. Essentially, macOS devices use it to authenticate with your identity provider for accessing different services. You can use it to connect to your identity provider, such as Azure, and authenticate with your macOS devices using Azure Authenticator. The same applies to other authentication methods, like the one in Google. They enable authentication of macOS devices using the store.
Primarily, we wanted to use it as a tool to enable multifactor authentication for our Mac users in both business entities. The goal was to integrate with identity providers such as Microsoft Azure, Okta, and another one that I'm currently blanking on. In addition to multifactor authentication, it also helps retain the credential set in the Jamf Connect tool once you're logged in. This eliminates the need to log in repeatedly across various web applications, as it integrates and sends the necessary messages to the identity provider (IDP). So it's both a user convenience and an enhanced security feature.
We use Jamf Connect to provide Azure connectivity with MacOS devices. Azure Active Directory policy changes on Azure are reflected on the MacOS devices and user accounts. About 1,000 users at my organization use Jamf Conect to log in. Around 5 percent cannot use the solution because it's unavailable on their device.
ZTNA as a Service is a cloud-based security solution that provides secure access to applications and data from anywhere, helping organizations protect themselves from data breaches and other security threats.
Jamf Connect can replace the existing IdP and gives better hand holding capability for your devices.
