JAMF

Integration overview

This integration allows Apple mobile devices and computers enrolled or managed in Jamf Pro to authenticate to corporate applications and resources without the need for usernames, passwords, or tokens for access. Using preconfigured certificate templates and automated lifecycle operations, IT teams can eliminate manual tasks and avoid costly authentication disruptions while maintaining a high level of security.

What it does

• Automated Certificate Management & Device Security Integration
• Automates certificate enrollment, renewal, and revocation through the Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) with enhanced security through dynamic challenge.
• Supports API integration between Trust Lifecycle Manager and Jamf Pro for automation of the complete certificate management lifecycle. For example, unlike SCEP, the API integration supports certificate revocation and CRL Distribution or OCSP Checking.
• Uses preconfigured templates for device and user authentication to corporate resources.
• Synchronizes certificate events with Jamf Pro for real-time lifecycle updates and revocation handling.
• Centralizes certificate visibility and policy control.

Why it matters

• Improves user experience: Enables seamless enrollment and access without passwords, tokens, or repeated sign-ins.
• Reduces helpdesk workload: Eliminates manual certificate requests and resets due to expiration or user error. Makes user and device onboarding easier and more efficient.
• Strengthens security posture: Enforces consistent, policy-based certificate issuance and revocation.
• Prevents access outages: Automates renewals to ensure endpoints always have valid credentials.
• Supports hybrid environments: Extends consistent identity assurance across mobile, desktop, and workstation endpoints.
• Improves cryptoagility: Centralized certificate lifecycle management in Trust Lifecycle Manager eases response to adverse events, such as revocations, and adoption of cryptographic improvements like Post-Quantum Cryptography.

How it integrates

• Trust Lifecycle Manager connects with Jamf Pro via a cloud-based API and purpose-built connector.
• Certificates are issued automatically to Jamf-managed devices.
• Synchronizes lifecycle events—issuance, renewal, and revocation—between DigiCert and Jamf.
• Administrators manage policies and certificate templates directly from Trust Lifecycle Manager.
