Extensible Single Sign-On MDM payload settings for Apple devices
Use the Extensible Single Sign-On payload to define extensions for multifactor user authentication on iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices enrolled in a mobile device management (MDM) solution. This payload must be user approved.
This extension is for use by identity providers to deliver a seamless experience as users sign in to apps and websites. When properly configured using MDM, the user authenticates once then gains access to subsequent native apps and websites automatically. The following other features can be used with the Extensible Single Sign-On payload when implemented by the developer:
iCloud Keychain
Multifactor authentication
Per App VPN
User notification
In addition to the Single Sign-on Extensions for third-party developers, iOS 13, iPadOS 13.1, and macOS 10.15 feature a built-in Kerberos extension that can be used to log users into native apps as well as websites that support Kerberos authentication.
macOS domains should be managed with the Associated Domains payload.
