Jamf Pro

Jamf Pro is comprehensive enterprise management software for the Apple platform to simplify IT management for Mac, iPad, iPhone and Apple TV (see https://www.jamf.com/products/jamf-pro/). You can protect access to Jamf Pro by integrating Jamf Pro with Identity as a Service. Once integrated, users can use single sign-on to log in to their Jamf Pro account through Identity as a Service.

note

For other versions of Jamf Pro, use this procedure as a starting point for integrating Jamf Pro. In the event of other issues, contact support@entrust.com for assistance.
