Issue/Introduction

As an administrator, I would like to password-less authentication in the MacOS WebView window and it's a requirement for applications in our enterprise.

This works on Windows Operating systems but not on macOS.

 

Environment

Symantec Agent: Enterprise Agent, WSS Agent, SEP Tunnel mode

SAML Authentication enabled with macOS WebView

 

Cause

Apple will need to add support for macOS Webview password-less authentication and provides us with the proper APIs to be able to implement this type of functionality.

Resolution

A problem report, FB13697910, has been raised with Apple regarding the issue.

Once Apple extends support for Webauthn in WebView for third-party service providers, we can explore the possibility of integrating it.
