SUPPORT FOR UMBRELLA ROAMING CLIENTS AND USER ATTRIBUTION (AZURE AD, OKTA, JAMF
CONNECT)

INTRODUCTION

One of the core features of the Umbrella roaming client is the ability to apply
a user identity from anywhere to the DNS and Web traffic captured by the client.
Currently, there are two major limitations as user identities have evolved. This
article will describe each limitation and what Cisco Umbrella is doing to
address them. 


WINDOWS

On Windows platforms, Umbrella currently relies on a Generated UID, or GUID to
perform user identification. This value is ubiquitous on traditional Active
Directory; however, does not exist on Azure AD (by default), Okta, or other
cloud-based identity platforms. As a result, a migration is required. 

Roaming client versions that fully support Azure AD and other "user
name/email"-based identity platforms supported by Umbrella cloud. 

 * Cisco Secure Client (formerly AnyConnect)
   * Cisco Secure Client 5.0 and above
   * AnyConnect 4.10 MR6 (and higher on 4.10)
 * Umbrella Roaming Client
   * 3.0.328 and above


MACOS

macOS has many options to do user identity, from traditional native binding
(phasing out), Enterprise Connect (end of life), NoMaD (acquired and launched as
JAMF Connect), JAMF Connect, and AppSSO. Cisco currently supports:

 * Native Binding
 * NoMaD branded implementations
 * Enterprise Connect

At this time Cisco Umbrella has not yet added support for JAMF Connect (formerly
NoMaD/NoMaD Login) or AppSSO (Kerberos Extension) in the roaming client. 

Cisco will be releasing a native MDM profile support for user identity. Any MDM
can push a managed preferences profile containing a user email address to set
the current user by MDM. 

Support versions:

 * Cisco Secure Client (formerly AnyConnect)
   * Cisco Secure Client 5.0 and above
   * AnyConnect 4.10 MR6 (and higher on 4.10)
 * Umbrella Roaming Client
   * 3.0.22 and above

This profile should be pushed to "Managed Preferences" (*/Library/Managed
Preferences). This will not function without a version listed above. Contact the
Umbrella support team to request a preview version for testing purposes.
