Single Sign-On payload settings for Apple devices
You can configure single sign-on settings for iPhone and iPad devices enrolled in a mobile device management (MDM) solution. Use the Single Sign-On payload to define Kerberos account information when accessing servers or specified apps.
Single Sign-On is a concept based on Kerberos, where authentication to services running on various servers is granted. This is based on a trust relationship between the servers and the account. Active Directory uses Single Sign On to authenticate to additional servers they trust.
Note: This payload is unavailable in Apple Configurator 2.
