Which technology synchronizes local account credentials with an identity provider?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Apple introduced Platform Single Sign-On (Platform SSO) as the next-generation identity integration framework for macOS. Unlike traditional directory binding, Platform SSO allows local macOS accounts to be linked with cloud identity providers such as Microsoft Entra ID or Okta. When enabled, a user's macOS account credentials are kept in sync with their IdP credentials. This prevents password drift and ensures the same identity can be used across system login, apps, and web services. Apple Learning emphasizes that this provides a unified sign-on experience, replacing the need for legacy solutions like AD binding. Neither Entra ID nor LDAP alone synchronizes macOS local accounts; the synchronization requires the Platform SSO technology.

But what about B) Active Directory? It's widely used too.

I think it's A) Microsoft Entra ID. It makes sense for syncing.

I’m leaning towards Microsoft Entra ID too, but I remember LDAP being mentioned in the context of directory services.

I want to say it's Platform SSO, but I might be mixing it up with another topic we practiced.

I feel like we covered something similar in class, but I can't recall the specifics. Was it about how Active Directory interacts with identity providers?

I think it might be Microsoft Entra ID, but I'm not entirely sure. I remember it being related to identity management.
