# Configure Passport Mac Login with Microsoft Entra ID
> Configure Passport with Microsoft Entra ID for Mac Login in Iru Endpoint. Enable macOS login screen authentication with Entra ID credentials.
This guide applies to Mac computers
### About Passport with Microsoft Entra ID Mac Login
Passport with Microsoft Entra ID Mac Login signs users in at the Mac login window with their Microsoft Entra ID username and password. For Web Login (Microsoft Entra ID sign-in in the Passport web view, including when you need MFA), use [Configure Passport with Microsoft Entra ID - Web Login](/en/endpoint/library/passport/microsoft-entra-id/configure-passport-with-microsoft-entra-id-web-login).
Starting **June 15, 2026**, Microsoft Entra ID handles Conditional Access for Passport sign-in differently when the enforcement change applies to your tenant. See [Required changes before June 15, 2026](#june-2026-conditional-access-change) to confirm whether you are affected. Microsoft explains the change in [this documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/conditional-access/concept-enforcement-resource-exclusions).
If you are setting up Passport for the first time, continue from the beginning of this article. The setup instructions already include these updates.
### How It Works
Passport integrates with your Microsoft Entra ID tenant to authenticate users at the macOS login screen using standard username and password fields. When users enter their Entra ID credentials, Passport verifies them against your tenant and creates or updates the local Mac user account.
### Prerequisites
* Access to a Microsoft Entra ID admin account that can grant the Passport app the correct permissions.
### Create the App Registration
Sign in to the [Microsoft Entra admin center](https://entra.microsoft.com) using a Global Administrator account.
Open the portal menu and then select **Identity**.
On the **Identity** menu, under **Applications**, select **App registrations**.
On the **App registrations** page, on the menu, select **+ New registration**.
On the **Register an application** dialog, enter a name for the new application (such as *Iru Passport Mac Login*).
Under **Supported account types**, open the drop-down and select **Single tenant only** (the option also shows your tenant name, for example **Single tenant only - *Accuhive***). Passport should be single-tenant in your organization only. See [Register an application in Microsoft Entra ID](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/quickstart-register-app).
In the **Redirect URI** section, in the **Select a platform** drop-down, choose **Web**.
In the URI field, enter the following: `https://localhost.redirect`
For more information about redirect URI restrictions, platform types, and best practices, see [Microsoft's redirect URI documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/reply-url).
Click **Register**.
### Configure Application Details
Open a secure text document where the values for this OIDC app can be temporarily stored. You will need these details when you [configure the Passport Library Item](/en/endpoint/library/passport/configure-the-passport-library-item).
On the **Overview** page, copy the **Application (client) ID** to a temporary secure text document.
While still on the Overview page, click **Endpoints**.
Copy the **OpenID Connect metadata document** (identity provider URL) to your temporary secure text document.
On the left, select **Authentication**, then click **Settings**.
Set **Allow public client flows** to **Enabled**.
Click **Save**.
On the left, select **Token configuration**.
Click **Add optional claim**.
For the Token type, select **ID**.
For the Claim, select **preferred\_username**.
Click **Add**.
While still on the Token configuration page, click **Add groups claim**.
Select **All groups**.
Entra ID SAML only supports up to 150 security groups. If you have more than 150 security groups, you should not use **All groups**, but rather select specific groups. You can read more in Microsoft's [Configure group claims for applications by using Microsoft Entra ID](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/hybrid/connect/how-to-connect-fed-group-claims) article.
Click **Add**.
Once you complete the token configurations, you will see both optional claims.
### Configure API Permissions
Select **API Permissions**.
Click **Add a permission**.
Click **Microsoft Graph**.
Select **Delegated permissions**.
Confirm that the **OpenID permissions** section is expanded. If it is not expanded, click the expand icon next to **OpenID permissions**.
Select **email**.
Select **profile**.
In the **Select permissions** field, enter **User.Read**.
In the User section, confirm that **User.Read** is already selected. If **User.Read** isn't selected, select it.
Click **Add permissions**.
While still on the API permissions page, select **Grant admin consent for \[your tenant]**.
Select **Yes**.
You should see a notification similar to the one below, and you should see a "Granted for \[your tenant] ..." message in the Status column next to each permission.
### Assign Users and Groups
By default, when you create a new App registration, the "Assignment required?" attribute is set to "No". However, if your Passport Enterprise app is set to require assignment, follow these steps to assign users so they can use your Passport app.
In the Entra ID navigation menu on the left, select **Enterprise Apps**.
In the All applications list, select **Iru Passport Mac Login** or whatever name you named the App registration in the previous section.
Under **Manage**, select **Properties**.
Optionally, add a logo to your Enterprise App.
Inspect the **Assignment required?** setting. If it is set to "No," then you can skip the rest of this section. All users in Entra ID will be able to use the Passport app.
Confirm that **Visible to users?** is set to **No**; otherwise, users will see the app in their portal. The Passport app is only useful as a replacement for the macOS login window.
Click **Save**.
If the **Assignment required?** setting is set to "No," you can skip the remaining steps in this section and continue to the next section. If it is set to "Yes," proceed with the following steps to assign users and groups.
Under **Manage**, select **Users and Groups**.
On the menu, select **+ Add user/group**.
On the **Add Assignment** dialog, select the link under **Users and groups**.
A list of users and security groups is displayed. You can search for a specific user or group or select multiple users and groups that appear in the list.
After you have selected your users and groups, select **Select**.
If you see the message below, it means that a free tier is being used. You can only add users (not groups) to the Passport Enterprise App.

Select **Assign** to finish the assignment of users and groups to the app.
Confirm that the users and groups you added appear in the **Users and groups** list.
With this portion of the Entra ID configuration complete, review the remaining sections of this article for your Microsoft Entra ID environment.
### Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access Considerations
[Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/conditional-access/) is included with Microsoft Entra ID Premium or better. Be sure to turn off both per-user MFA and Security defaults before you turn on Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access policies.
Complete the steps below to register **Passport - CA Policy API**, add its scope to your Passport app, and exclude that app from applicable policies. Skip this section if you do not use Conditional Access. When you finish, add the scope under **Additional scopes (optional)** in [Authentication Mode](#authentication-mode) on the [Iru Endpoint](#iru-endpoint) tab.
#### Create the Passport - CA Policy API application
Create this application registration so Passport can request a scope beyond baseline scopes.
Sign in to the [Microsoft Entra admin center](https://entra.microsoft.com) and open **Entra ID** > **App registrations**.
Select **+ New registration**. Enter **Passport - CA Policy API** as the name, under **Supported account types** select **Single tenant only**, and leave **Redirect URI** empty. Select **Register**.
Open **API permissions**. If admin consent is not already granted, select **Grant admin consent for \[your tenant]**.
Open **Expose an API** in the left navigation.
Select **+ Add a scope**.
Review the **Application ID URI**. Entra ID suggests a default value (for example, `api://cca588ed-dfe6-4fb4-b695-abfa23b6475a`). The default is fine. Select **Save and continue**. You do not need to copy this URI; copy the scope URI in **Copy the scope URI** below.
For **Scope name**, enter `Passport` without spaces or special characters. Leave **Who can consent** at the default. Enter a display name and description in the **Admin consent** fields, then select **Add scope**.
Next to the scope URI in the **Scopes** list (for example, `api://cca588ed-dfe6-4fb4-b695-abfa23b6475a/Passport`), select **Copy**. Save it for **Add Additional scopes** in [Authentication Mode](#authentication-mode) on the [Iru Endpoint](#iru-endpoint) tab.
#### Add the custom scope to your Passport app registration
If you aren't already signed in, sign in to the [Microsoft Entra admin center](https://entra.microsoft.com) and open **Entra ID** > **App registrations**. Open the application you use for Passport **Mac Login**.
Open **API permissions** and select **+ Add a permission**.
Open the **APIs my organization uses** tab and select **Passport - CA Policy API**.
Select **Delegated permissions**, select the **Passport** permission, then select **Add permissions**.
Select **Grant admin consent for \[your tenant]**.
#### Exclude Passport - CA Policy API from All resources policies
If you use Conditional Access, exclude **Passport - CA Policy API** from each policy scoped to **All resources**. Policies scoped to **All resources** include sign-ins that use the `openid` scope. Excluding **Passport - CA Policy API** removes the MFA requirement for ROPG, which Passport uses for password verification and synchronization in **Mac Login**.
In the [Microsoft Entra admin center](https://entra.microsoft.com), open **Protection** > **Conditional Access** > **Policies**.
Select each policy scoped to **All resources**, then open **Target resources**.
Open the **Exclude** tab, select **Select resources**, then select **Passport - CA Policy API**. Select **Select**, then **Save**.
Repeat these steps for every Conditional Access policy scoped to **All resources**.
If **Save** fails, confirm that **Passport - CA Policy API** does not allow public client flows. If the app has a redirect URI configured, remove it and try again.
### User Account Provisioning via Passport
If you want Passport to set each user's Mac account type from Entra ID security group membership, collect each group's **Object ID** in the Microsoft Entra admin center using the steps in this section. You will use those values under **User provisioning** on the Passport Library Item [**Iru Endpoint** tab](#iru-endpoint). For more detail on this mode, see [User provisioning](/en/endpoint/library/passport/configure-the-passport-library-item#user-provisioning) in **Configure the Passport Library Item**.
The number of security groups supported by Entra is 150 for SAML assertions. In larger organizations, the number of groups where a user is a member might exceed the limit that Microsoft Entra ID applies before emitting group claims in a token. Exceeding this limit will cause Microsoft Entra ID to omit group claims from the token.
Sign in to the [Microsoft Entra admin center](https://entra.microsoft.com). In the Identity navigation menu on the left, open **Groups** and select **All groups**.
Select the group that you want to use.
Copy the **Object ID** for that group.
For each additional Entra ID group you want to use, repeat **Select group** and **Copy Object ID**. Keep the **Object ID** values in a secure document until you enter them on the [**Iru Endpoint** tab](#iru-endpoint).
Configure **Authentication mode** and **User provisioning** in the Passport Library Item on the [**Iru Endpoint** tab](#iru-endpoint).
If you have not already, use [Configure the Passport Library Item](/en/endpoint/library/passport/configure-the-passport-library-item) to add the Passport Library Item and basic settings. The steps below are Microsoft Entra ID **Mac Login** fields in the Passport Library Item; use the **Application (client) ID** and OpenID Connect metadata URL from the [Microsoft Entra ID](#microsoft-entra-id) tab.
### Authentication Mode
Set **Authentication mode** to **Mac Login** so users sign in with their Microsoft Entra ID username and password at the Mac login window.
In the Passport Library Item, set **Identity provider** to **Microsoft Entra ID**.
In the **Identity provider URL** field, paste the **OpenID Connect metadata document** URL from the app registration on the [Microsoft Entra ID](#microsoft-entra-id) tab.
In the **Client ID (Password Sync)** field, paste the **Application (client) ID** from the app registration on the [Microsoft Entra ID](#microsoft-entra-id) tab.
Complete this step only if you completed [Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access Considerations](#microsoft-entra-id-conditional-access-considerations). If you skipped that section, continue to **Select Mac Login**.
Paste the scope URI you copied from **Create the Passport - CA Policy API application** into **Additional scopes (optional)**. This field appears below **Client ID (Password Sync)**.
Under **Authentication mode**, select **Mac Login**.
Click **Save** on the Passport Library Item.
### User Provisioning
If you want Passport to set each user's Mac account type from Entra ID security group membership, use the steps below under **User provisioning** on the Passport Library Item [**Iru Endpoint** tab](#iru-endpoint). Collect each group's **Object ID** in Entra ID first. See [User Account Provisioning via Passport](#user-account-provisioning-via-passport) on the [Microsoft Entra ID](#microsoft-entra-id) tab.
In the **User provisioning** section, open **User account type** and select **Specify per identity provider group**.
With **User account type** set to **Specify per identity provider group**, open the account type drop-down below it and select Administrator or Standard user. If a user's IdP group membership returns both Administrator and Standard account types, the user is designated an Administrator.
In each **Identity provider group** field, enter the Entra ID group **Object ID** as a GUID, not the group display name.
For each **Identity provider group** row, set the **Account type** as appropriate.
Click **Save**.
When the Passport Library Item is saved, return to the [Microsoft Entra ID](#microsoft-entra-id) tab if you need to change the app registration, **Passport - CA Policy API** exclusions, or group **Object IDs**.
## Required Changes Before June 15, 2026
On **June 15, 2026**, Microsoft Entra ID starts enforcing Conditional Access more broadly for policies that target **All resources** (formerly **All cloud apps**) and include **resource exclusions**. Sign-ins that request only **baseline scopes**, including `openid`, `profile`, `email`, and `User.Read`, will be subject to those policies.
If you are not licensed for Conditional Access, this change does not apply to your organization. It applies only when policies target **All resources** with one or more **resource exclusions** and users sign in through applications that request only baseline scopes. If you do not use that policy layout, you are not affected. Policies that target **All resources** with no resource exclusions are also outside this change.
Passport **Mac Login** requests those scopes as a public client. If this change applies to your tenant and you already use **Mac Login**, complete the relevant updates below before **June 15, 2026**. If you skip them, sign-in and password sync can break once enforcement begins.
If you are configuring Passport **Mac Login** for the first time using this article, the **Microsoft Entra ID** and **Iru Endpoint** tabs above already include these updates.
Read [Enforcement for baseline scopes in Conditional Access](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/conditional-access/concept-enforcement-resource-exclusions) for more detail.
### If you skip these updates
If you do not prepare before **June 15, 2026**:
* New users might not be able to sign in with Passport.
* Password sync and state management can stop working.
* Microsoft Entra ID might record extra failed sign-in events.
### If you do not use Conditional Access policies
If you do not use Conditional Access, or you want the old behavior across your tenant while you test:
Register a single-tenant application in Microsoft Entra ID to serve as the custom target resource for baseline scopes. No additional configuration is required during registration. See **Create an application** in [Customize behavior](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/conditional-access/concept-enforcement-resource-exclusions#customize-behavior).
In each Conditional Access policy where you need to retain legacy behavior, exclude the placeholder application from **Target resources**. See **Exclude the application from the relevant policy** in [Microsoft's documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/conditional-access/concept-enforcement-resource-exclusions#customize-behavior).
Open [Baseline scopes settings](https://aka.ms/BaselineScopesSettingsUX), select **Customize behavior**, select the placeholder application, then select **Save**. See **Select the application in the Baseline scopes settings UX** in [Microsoft's documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/conditional-access/concept-enforcement-resource-exclusions#customize-behavior).
You do not need to change your Passport Library Item in Iru Endpoint.
This Entra ID setting affects every application that requests baseline scopes, not just Passport.
### If you use Conditional Access policies
If you use Conditional Access with Passport **Mac Login**, complete the steps below before **June 15, 2026**.
#### Step 1 — Create the Passport - CA Policy API application
Sign in to the [Microsoft Entra admin center](https://entra.microsoft.com) and open **Entra ID** > **App registrations**.
Select **+ New registration**. Enter **Passport - CA Policy API** as the name, under **Supported account types** select **Single tenant only**, and leave **Redirect URI** empty. Select **Register**.
Open **API permissions**. If admin consent is not already granted, select **Grant admin consent for \[your tenant]**.
Open **Expose an API** in the left navigation.
Select **+ Add a scope**.
Review the **Application ID URI**. Entra ID suggests a default value (for example, `api://cca588ed-dfe6-4fb4-b695-abfa23b6475a`). The default is fine. Select **Save and continue**. You do not need to copy this URI; copy the scope URI in **Copy the scope URI** below.
For **Scope name**, enter `Passport` without spaces or special characters. Leave **Who can consent** at the default. Enter a display name and description in the **Admin consent** fields, then select **Add scope**.
Next to the scope URI in the **Scopes** list (for example, `api://cca588ed-dfe6-4fb4-b695-abfa23b6475a/Passport`), select **Copy**. Save it for step 4 below.
#### Step 2 — Add the custom scope to your Passport app registration
If you aren't already signed in, sign in to the [Microsoft Entra admin center](https://entra.microsoft.com) and open **Entra ID** > **App registrations**. Open the application you use for Passport **Mac Login**.
Open **API permissions** and select **+ Add a permission**.
Open the **APIs my organization uses** tab and select **Passport - CA Policy API**.
Select **Delegated permissions**, select the **Passport** permission, then select **Add permissions**.
Select **Grant admin consent for \[your tenant]**.
#### Step 3 — Exclude Passport - CA Policy API from All resources policies
Policies scoped to **All resources** include sign-ins that use the `openid` scope. Excluding **Passport - CA Policy API** removes the MFA requirement for ROPG, which Passport uses for password verification and synchronization in **Mac Login**.
In the [Microsoft Entra admin center](https://entra.microsoft.com), open **Protection** > **Conditional Access** > **Policies**.
Select each policy scoped to **All resources**, then open **Target resources**.
Open the **Exclude** tab, select **Select resources**, then select **Passport - CA Policy API**. Select **Select**, then **Save**.
Repeat these steps for every Conditional Access policy scoped to **All resources**.
If **Save** fails, confirm that **Passport - CA Policy API** does not allow public client flows. If the app has a redirect URI configured, remove it and try again.
#### Step 4 — Update your Passport Library Item
In Iru Endpoint, open **Library** and edit your Passport Library Item configured for Microsoft Entra ID **Mac Login**.
On the [**Iru Endpoint** tab](#iru-endpoint), paste the scope URI from step 1 above into **Additional scopes (optional)**, then select **Save**.
Repeat **Add the scope URI** for every Passport Library Item configured for Microsoft Entra ID **Mac Login**.
After you finish these updates, test Passport sign-in on an enrolled Mac. If sign-in fails, see [Passport Troubleshooting with Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD)](/en/endpoint/library/passport/microsoft-entra-id/passport-troubleshooting-with-microsoft-entra-id-formerly-azure-ad).
## Microsoft Entra ID Troubleshooting
If Passport sign-in fails with Entra ID, see [Passport Troubleshooting with Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD)](/en/endpoint/library/passport/microsoft-entra-id/passport-troubleshooting-with-microsoft-entra-id-formerly-azure-ad).
