Description
The authchanger command-line tool can be used to manipulate the authentication database used by the macOS loginwindow application. Two common commands that can be used locally on the computer in Terminal, via script or using a Jamf Pro Files and Processes policy are:
sudo authchanger -reset:Restores the default macOS window for local logins.
Run this command if you need to remove the Jamf Connect login window.
sudo authchanger -reset -JamfConnect:Enables the Jamf Connect login window.
If the default macOS login window is showing after deploying Jamf Connect login and logging out of the account signed in on the computer, run this command to force users to sign in with Jamf Connect.
