Deploying the Okta PSSO Application
Introduction
Implementing Okta Platform Single Sign-On (PSSO) is a critical step toward unifying endpoint security and cloud identity management for your macOS fleet. By leveraging Apple’s Extensible Enterprise SSO framework, the Okta PSSO Application establishes a secure, native bridge between the local macOS login window and the Okta Identity Cloud, drastically reducing authentication friction while enforcing robust identity policies.
