Deep dives

Introduction of Platform Single Sign-On

The podcast discusses the recent updates regarding Platform Single Sign-On (SSO) and its evolution. Initially, Enterprise Connect facilitated Kerberos ticketing via a costly service engagement, which was later replaced by open-source alternatives such as Nomad. Apple's transition included the introduction of the Kerberos Single Sign-On extension and eventually led to the development of Platform SSO, designed to improve user experiences by enabling cloud identity provider logins. However, as of the latest updates, no identity providers have fully supported Platform SSO in production, leaving users with limited access to its benefits.
