Something the Mac Admin Community excels at is its open source mindset and providing tools to others to lend a helping hand.

    Episode 435: Platform SSO (Okta's Version)

    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.

    Episode 434: Learning New Lore with Kitzy

    Working at the same place for a long time can have some amazing benefits. Every conversation, meeting, or ticket solved is another person you met, another piece of knowledge you have that you didn't have before and another piece of the huge puzzle that is slowly getting assembled inside your brain. Institutional knowledge can be an amazing thing, and we all love that person we work with who seems to have been there right from the beginning and just.knows.stuff. But does having too many puzzle pieces assembled in your mind prevent you from getting overly curious, for fear of tipping everything over? What about the excitement of starting a new job, meeting new people and discovering new ways of doing things? Today we are so happy to welcome Kitzy back to the Mac Admins podcast after a very long time to talk about rediscovering curiosity and what it's like to walk away from being the keeper of the lore.

    Episode 433: Managing iOS is easy, right?

    Alexandre Morin joins the podcast to talk all about iOS Management - ADUE, ADDE, ADE, BYOD, there's too many acronyms to mention. All of this is a known, totally easy piece of cake, right? There's no challenges here.

    Oh, but what about cellular? eSIM? Different use-cases? dedicated devices locked into single app usage? It's not so straight forward, is it?
