Single Sign ON (SSO) in iOS 7

I have a question about one of new features in iOS 7 - Single Sign On.

Are there any detailed info about it? Has somebody already tried it for implementation? I searched a lot of articles and docs - but did not find any useful. I also did not find any detailed info on Apple and Developers Apple resources. There are no visual setting for SSO in iOS 7 GM version (I am not sure if it should be there).

So my question is - have somebody already investigated it and may be somebody can share some links and useful info? Are there any technical descriptions of this feature and is it existed some how in iOS 7 GM?

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • I would recommend watching WWDC 2013 Session 301 "Extending Your Apps for Enterprise and Education Use"

    Also, for an overview of an implementation of this functionality this site helps.

    Lastly, here is Apple's documentation (available to developers). Look for the heading: Single Sign-On Account Payload.

    Configuring SSO on a device will require Apple Configurator to install the profile or an MDM solution for OTA delivery of the SSO profile.
