Use Secure LDAP to log into macOS with Google credentials
Thursday, December 10, 2020
You can now use Secure LDAP on macOS devices. Once enabled, users can log in to macOS devices with their Google Workspace or Cloud Identity login credentials.
This can help simplify access management by using a single directory—the Workspace identity and access management (IAM) platform—to manage access to macOS devices. In turn, this can help improve security by providing a single place to set up identity and access policies, and reduce your dependency on legacy identity infrastructure.
- Admins: Visit the Help Center to learn more about the Secure LDAP service, and specifically how to configure macOS clients to the service.
- End users: No end-user impact until enabled by an admin.
