Description
This article will explain the most common way to allow local login at the Jamf Connect Login Window. This is useful in case there are network issues locally on the mac, but the user still needs to get logged in at the login window.
Turning on Local Login
There are a few ways to allow local login for Jamf Connect, but the most common is to use the DenyLocal and LocalFallback keys in the Jamf Connect Login Window configuration plist. This will ensure that the user will still authenticate to the IdP, but allows for local authentication in case there are network issues.
Configure them as follows in the Jamf Connect Login Window configuration profile plist:
<key>DenyLocal</key>
<true/>
<key>LocalFallback</key>
<true/>
Accessing Local Login Option in Updated Jamf Connect UI
With updates to Jamf Connect, the location of the "Local Login" option may have changed. In the updated interface, it can be accessed through the menu located in the upper-right corner of the Jamf Connect login window.
