Azure AD vs MAC Authentication Vs Active Directory Authentication
-
Hi All,
I am back after a long time.I have been to the new office with the new environment.Here the team uses more SAS applications.The org wants to move to the AzureAD but the MAC users will not have more support on this Azure AD.Whether the Jamf server is the only solution to have the MAC users to authenticate the users ?
If we move to the AzureAD the user needs to be created locally to make the users login for the first time to the office laptop ?
The normal On-Premise Active Directory will have the good features to Federation or SSO login to the SaaS applications ?

That depends 100% on the SaaS application in question and what SSO you want to tie to.

AzureAD is available for MacOS via InTune.

Yes its available but cannot work as expected with the windows clients. The local account will be created for the new users while onboarding happens. This information got from the Microsoft support person. They said it will not suport for the mobile account to be created

so along these lines, does there exist any cloud (SAAS really) solution provide a, from box open, ability for central user authentication?
I'm guessing not.
With Windows we have AutoPilot that can have a OOBE that directly attaches it to Azure AD.But for Mac, Linux OSes, maybe chrome OS, you'd have to have an admin setup the device first, likely add software/agent, then those devices could use Azure AD.
Of course Google has their own solution for Chrome OS, though I have no idea if they have agents for Windows/mac/Linux OSes to do the same?
