Lastly, there is Apple Business Manager with Federated Authentication support which allows end-users to sign-in to ADE (a.k.a DEP) provisioned Mac devices using their Azure AD credentials. Then there is JumpCloud, an open cloud directory platform with unified endpoint management capabilities, which has its own way of provisioning a Mac with JumpCloud managed identity. (Similar to Windows Autopilot experience) Now JAMF solves this with JAMF Connect which allows provisioning a Mac device with a cloud identity and you can also configure if the account provisioned should have local admin rights or not. Recently while working on one such project which involves Mac management using Intune natively (no JAMF), I came across a similar situation.Ĭlient Requirement – End-user to be able to sign-in to company-provided Mac devices using their corporate credentials.

The fun part of working on projects is the opportunity to face new challenges which makes us go back to our lab.
