Show Notes
Apple announced Platform Single Sign-on at the setup assistant in macOS 26, and it's been a race for Identity Providers and Device Management Services to wrap their heads around the changes and implement it. Okta recently released their implementation and we are joined by Arki and Dan to talk about what this changes, what was involved in getting it to work, and what is still to come. We are also going to discuss how Platform Single Sign-on is just a small part of what is required for a securing your users.
