We have all enjoyed seeing Apple make the noticeable shift to embracing modern cloud identity with the integrations we have seen over the past few years. From modern authentication at enrollment, Single Sign on extensions through to Federation of Managed Apple accounts and Platform Single Sign-on. The announcements at WWDC this year gave us more reasons to be excited, with a whole bunch of new capabilities announced. What does this really mean and can I start using this in production tomorrow?
