SSO for Apple iOS with SOTI Identity

Pre-requisites

  • Configure SOTI IDP in Global Settings of SOTI MobiControl web console.
  • SOTI Identity configurations:
    • Device users AD integrated in SOTI Identity.
    • Native app server or web app's server integrated with SOTI IDP. See SOTI Identity documentation.
    • Other IDPs (like Azure or Okta) must integrate with SOTI Identity.
  • Managed associated domain must have IDP URL in app policy (for example, "authsrv:identity.soti.net").
  • SSO requires iOS 13 or later.
  • Requires iOS Agent and is compatible iOS Agent 13.4.6 or later.
  • Requires SOTI MobiControl login app for shared devices.

Workflow

  • See Configuring SSO for iOS with SOTI Identity for an overview of how to configure SSO from within the SOTI MobiControl web console.
  • Create an application policy to send managed applications to the device.
  • Create a profile having payloads - Extensible SSO.
    • App Extension Bundle Identifier - net.soti.mobicontrol.sso.
    • SSO type - Redirect.
    • Add URL Prefix - https://identity.soti.net/sso/saml/auth/login.
    • Extension Data
      • Define application's bundle identifier to enable SSO on specific applications. Not adding an application enables SSO for all the applications registered with SOTI Identity.
        • Use AllowedApps_BundleID tag for allowed applications.
        • Use BlockedApps_BundleID tag for blocked applications ID.
        • Example:
          <dict>
          <key>AllowedApps_BundleID</key>
          <string>com.microsoft.skydrive,com.apple.mobilesafari,com.microsoft.azureauthenticator</string>
          </dict>
  • Enroll and assign App policy and Extensible SSO profile to the device.
  • Open any of the configured native or web application and try to login.
  • Opening any native or web application does not require password to be re-entered on login.
Note: Application logout depends on the behavior of the application.
