What is Platform SSO?

Platform SSO is Apple's framework for integrating macOS sign-in and local accounts with an organisation's identity provider. This profile connects the concept to KBY's practical engineering guidance.

It uses a supported single sign-on extension and device-management configuration to synchronise or authorise platform credentials. Deployment depends on identity-provider support, secure bootstrap and recovery planning for offline or unavailable identity services.
