Integrating Jamf Connect with your identity provider (IdP) and creating a computer configuration profile requires an understanding of the authentication protocols that Jamf Connect uses to connect a user's cloud identity to their local account on the Mac.

Jamf Connect uses one of two different authentication protocols, depending on your cloud identity provider (IdP). Most IdPs must use the OpenID Connect authentication protocol with Jamf Connect, except Okta, which can use the Okta Authentication API.
