Deploy Okta Verify to macOS devices
You can deploy Okta Verify to macOS devices using your Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution.
On unmanaged devices, users can download and install the app directly from the Apple App Store or a server location that you set up. Download the app from the Okta Admin Console ().
Ensure that users are always on the latest supported macOS version. See Supported platforms, browsers, and operating systems.
Before you begin
If more than one person uses this device, see Okta Verify on shared devices and VDI environments for supported configurations before you deploy Okta Verify.
Deploy Okta Verify directly to devices from the Apple Business Manager
You can configure your device management tool to use Okta Verify from Apple Business, and then deploy the app directly to targeted user devices.
After the app is installed, configure your device management tool to automatically force app updates.
If you need assistance configuring Jamf Pro to automatically force app updates for Okta Verify, email Jamf at success@jamf.com and reference PI-009232.
Download and deploy Okta Verify
If your device management tool doesn't support Okta Verify deployment from the Apple Business, you can download Okta Verify directly from Okta.
This deployment method doesn't automatically force app updates.
- In the Admin Console, go to .
- For Okta Verify for macOS, select Download Latest to download a PKG file with the latest version of Okta Verify.
- Configure your device management tool to deploy the app to targeted user devices.
This deployment method doesn't support an automatic update. Repeat this process as necessary to provide users with the latest version of Okta Verify.
If you're using a custom PKG file to install Okta Verify, make sure that you include a post-install script to relaunch Okta Verify when the installation is complete. Without this post-install script, if a user has Okta Verify open, Okta Verify doesn't update until it's manually restarted.
