Jamf Pro SAML integration
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is an extra layer of security used when logging into websites or apps. Individuals are authenticated through more than one required security and validation procedure that only they know or have access to.
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is a protocol for authenticating to web applications. SAML allows federated apps and organizations to communicate and trust one another’s users.
Jamf Pro is the Enterprise Mobility Management software that can manage an organization's Apple Ecosystem. Arculix by SecureAuth integrates with Jamf Pro to improve the security of users' logins into the Jamf Pro through its Intelligent SSO-MFA solution.
