Jamf Connect

Jamf Connect

Jamf Connect is used to allow users when logging into a Mac device to be prompted with Cloudwork's Identity Provider login, instead of the usual Mac login screen.
This is so you can create a better user experience by giving users a familiar login screen every time the user signs into a SSO Service.

As a part of Cloudwork's support for Jamf Connect: When setting up an OAuth App in the Cloudwork Dashboard, under Allowed Grant Types, Password can now be selected.
Password must be selected as an Allowed Grant Type when setting up Jamf Connect, this is to allow both the username and password to authenticate and authorise the user.

Setting up with Cloudwork

1. Login to the Cloudwork Dashboard>Single Sign On>Manage OpenID Connect Apps>Add New Service
2. In Name enter Jamf Connect
3. In Client Type select Public Client
4. In Redirect URIs enter the Redirect URIs:
   • https://127.0.0.1/jamfconnect for MacOS
   • jamfunlock://callback/auth for IOS to allow biometric authentication
5. For Allowed Grant Types enable the checkbox Password
