What is Jamf Connect
Jamf Connect is a macOS management tool that provides organizations with the ability to integrate their Mac devices with their Active Directory login. Solving the issue of account passwords not syncing between the device and Active Directory.
How do I use Jamf Connect
Step 1. Once Jamf Connect is installed, either by auto deployment or Self Service, you will be prompted to enter your TTSD Email credentials.
You only need to do this step to activate Jamf Connect
If your passwords sync, there is nothing more you need to do
If your passwords do not match, continue to the next step
Step 2. you will be prompted to enter your Local (Mac) password. Once entered, your passwords will sync.
New Login Verification
Jamf Connect now requires authentication with your Email Account for login
When you reboot your device, all FileVault enabled accounts will appear at the login screen.
After entering your password, Jamf Connect will take over and ask for authentication from Active Directory (Email Password)
If you sync'd your passwords either from Step 1 or Step 2, then your device will authenticate and log you in. If you did NOT do those steps, then continue on.
You will be prompted to enter your Local (Mac) password to sync and your Email password will take over.
Done!
Your passwords are now in sync
