By default, the key is set to false. As a result: Jamf Unlock will no longer display the Jamf Unlock would like to use idp.com to sign in permission prompt when a user selects the Get started button unless their administrator sets the new preference to true. Users are unable to leverage Safari user sessions by default unless their administrator sets the new preference to true. Resolved issues: [PI103684] Okta domain variants (e.g., oktapreview or okta-emea) are now recognized by Jamf Unlock, and no longer result in an error when configuring the app in Jamf Pro. The Allow unlocking toggle in Jamf Unlock is now enabled by default after users pair with their Mac so that users no longer need to manually turn on the Allow unlocking toggle after pairing. The PIN timer now respects the 30-second countdown when a user unlocks their Mac with Unlock instead of counting down too quickly.
