Beginning with Jamf Connect 2.45.0, the Shut down, Restart, Sleep, and Local login buttons are now located in the upper-right corner of the screen to resemble the native login window experience of macOS 14 and later.
Jamf Connect can connect existing local user accounts to IdP user accounts using the local account migration settings. The following steps describe the user experience a user should experience when Connect existing local accounts to a network account (Migrate) setting is enabled.
- After Jamf Connect is installed, the macOS login window is replaced with the Jamf Connect login window.
The user logs in with their network account credentials.
(Optional) If MFA is configured, the user is prompted to select and complete the challenge. The appearance may vary depending on which IdP you are using and how MFA is configured.
- If a user's network username does not match any local account, the user can choose from a list of existing local accounts or create a new account. If the user wants to create a new account, they must click Create Account. If the network username matches an existing local username, this step is automatically skipped.
If the local account password matches the network account password, the user is logged in. If the passwords do not match, Jamf Connect prompts the user to sync them.
The local user account password is synced with the network password, and the user is logged in. Jamf Connect adds the network username as an alias to that local account.
