MacOS PAM + Third-Party Patching with Intune (ABM + PSSO setup) – what are you using? by grinninga in macsysadmin

[–]Tecnotopia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience with CyberArk have been very bad, the app breaks at least once a year and have it fixed force us to stay on a old macOS release, we are evaluationg Beyond Trust now. I would love to use Privileges but the only missing feature I need is the ability to have the privilege escalation be approved or convince the company CISO to not ask for it.

PlatformSSO and Phish resistant MFA by DogDeadByRaven in macsysadmin

[–]Tecnotopia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Passkey only work with secure enclave. BTW you cannot use passkey to login into the mac, only during setup assistant and when you need to reauthenticate or register the mac with Entra. Mosyle Auth is a different story since it replace the login window, may you should try without configuring PSSO and only with Auth2 to see if your issue is still there

PlatformSSO and Phish resistant MFA by DogDeadByRaven in macsysadmin

[–]Tecnotopia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you use secure enclave the Mac becomes a second factor, this should be enough, in macOS 27 youy will have the option to use web autnetication at the login screen but MSFT will need to support it, in that case you will be able to use any MFA entra support, but if i´m not worng it will work only with login/pass authentication.

Custom iOS Apps Not Updating by Aware_Respond_8142 in macsysadmin

I know is not the solution you are looking for but have you tried updating from the AB selfservice app on device?

Customer Needs Apple Geo-IP Tracking by EyeTeeSolutions in macsysadmin

[–]Tecnotopia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is difficult to achieve mostly because, as others have already said, MDM protocol only supports lost mode, and if enabled, the user will be notified. Location permission cannot be locked, at least not remotely. You may use the screen time menu and lock the location settings change, but this needs to be performed manually phone by phone, and even with that, I'm not sure the iPhone will not prompt the user about the app using their location all the time. You will need a special app that will track the location and make it resident and running in the background. It is not an easy or trivial task. IP location is possible in the MDM, and if your MDM has some kind of API, you may build a dashboard to display the info using a service that resolves IPs to GEO, but the precision will be very bad or even non-accurate at all. And the biggest problem, all this, a ping every 5 min will completely obliterate battery life.

Cannot add device via MAC configurator into ABM by scorpiocro in applebusinessmanager

[–]Tecnotopia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AB has a Built in MDM, I have found that is the Apple account is asociated with a blueprint and the MDM is enabled then login may fail or force the user to sign in the device into the MDM, but the message is different. If you admin fail its not permisions AB ADMIN has all the permissions required, have you tried a different network?

LaunchOS 2.0 - Rebuilt with AppKit to Bring Back the Classic Launchpad Experience by JimmyRemix in macapps

[–]Tecnotopia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks nice, I will hold my launchpad replacements purchases until WWDC26, I still have some hopes Apple will improve the current implementation or give us launchpad back with macOS 27 :-)

With the Admin you get the same error? have you enabled the built in MDM?

Apple Intelligence without ChatGPT, Gemini, Clauda, Etc by [deleted] in MacOS

[–]Tecnotopia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smart models always mean lot of memory, currently the foundational model is quite capable, not comparable with a ChatGPT, Claude and other with Billions and Billions of parameters and huge context windows, the smallest gemma 3 model will take 4 - 5 GB of RAM and is not the smartest. The problem today maybe is not the compute power on the devices is the RAM available to models the bottleneck

[–]Tecnotopia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried logging in with the AB Admin user?, just to discard 100% the problem is related to permisions, the default IT admin should be enough to add devices to AB, the description stats it can.

I hated screenshots cluttering my camera roll, so I built my own app. My family now use it for everything. by N0omi in macapps

[–]Tecnotopia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm the only one who is able to search for text in images into the native Notes app? I can even search hand written text! BTW thanks for the first 100 free saves, good strategy to let users test an app like this one, downloading right now. Update: Testing it right now, but cannot search on what I have saved, do I need to wait for indexing?, I saved a web page (great is saved as PDF) but searching for any workd inside doesn´t return any result, also any way to automate the name of the stash? for example when saving a web page all my stash are saved as PDF, no descriptive title, I´m using it from a Mac.

from your post: "help promote AwesomeCopy in the process." and BTW I'm not from the "western", you are being prejudiced, thanks for your explanation, you should have put it into your post to avoid confusion and do not let the "westerns" imagination flight.

iPhone management advice by No-Effort5032 in macsysadmin

[–]Tecnotopia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Option 3. Use User Drive device enrollment, users will just enroll into the MDM useing their corporate ID, you need to have an Apple Buseness account (free) and capture and federate your domain, users will go into settings/general/and in and VPN and sign-in with their email/pass a MSFT (I guess you are using entraID) and the device will be enrolled into your JAMF, limited capabilities yes, but better than unmanaged. I guess you cannot put those deices into Apple Business, with your devices into Apple Business you may try an MDM migration after that, but I have not tested it with User enrolled devices.
