I’m presenting at next week's University of Utah Mac Admins Meeting:

Platform Single Sign-on (Platform SSO) is Apple’s identity management offering for Macs. It promises:

• Integration with an identity provider at the login window
• A single sign-on experience with native and web apps
• Local user account password synchronization with the identity provider

Let’s explore what Platform SSO can do and what it takes to configure it using Jamf Pro.

I’ll be honest — writing doesn’t come naturally to me. Each post took several hours spread over a few evenings, and I wasn’t sure how well they’d land. But the response has been incredibly positive, and I’m truly grateful for all the encouragement and kind words.

It’s still a bit surreal to quiet that inner voice of self-doubt, but hearing that the content has helped others makes the effort absolutely worth it.

v1.3 of nudge-auto-updater is out!

@plantvibes added functionality that lets you specify days you _don't_ want Nudge enforcement deadlines to fall on, and nudge-auto-updater will plan around them. Useful for change windows, weekends, and public holidays.
Inspired by macOS 15.2, the two-week enforcement of which would have landed on Christmas Day :)

Release is here: https://github.com/jc0b/nudge-auto-updater/releases/tag/v1.3

SysAdmins, if you haven’t noticed iMazing Profile Editor version 2 release yet, Bradley Chambers, 9to5Mac’s go-to voice for Apple IT and system administration certainly has, and he’s highlighting Total App Setup as a key innovation for automating macOS app configuration 🏆
iPE 2 also brings visionOS support, improved payload import/export, and MCX compatibility — making it the most capable iPE to date.

Our post: https://imazing.com/blog/imazing-profile-editor-2-release
9to5Mac's take: https://9to5mac.com/2025/06/21/imazing-profile-editor-2-is-still-the-swiss-army-knife-app-for-apple-it-admins/
