App Portal/App Broker 2025 R2 Service Pack 2 Release

We are pleased to inform you of the general availability of the App Portal/App Broker 2025 R2 Service Pack 2 release.

App Portal/App Broker 2025 R2 Service Pack 2 includes the following features and improvements.

Automated Reclamation and Retirement Campaigns for macOS Applications via Jamf Cloud

App Portal/App Broker now extends its powerful optimization automation to macOS applications managed through Jamf Cloud. Administrators can configure reclamation and retirement campaigns for macOS applications using Flexera IDs, bringing the same license optimization workflows already available for Windows environments to the macOS estate.

For reclamation, system-based workflows is supported. When application usage falls below the configured threshold, App Portal automatically identifies the device as a reclamation candidate and uninstalls the application via Jamf Cloud, delivering measurable ROI and reducing software spend.

Retirement campaigns allow administrators to enforce the removal of blacklisted, end-of-life, or unauthorized macOS applications across Jamf-managed devices. Retirement actions are executed automatically via Jamf Cloud. Together, these capabilities give IT and SAM teams full control over macOS application lifecycle management — reducing compliance risk and maximizing the return on software investments.

Automated Upgrade Campaigns for macOS Applications via Jamf Cloud

Building on the macOS automation capabilities introduced in this release, App Portal/App Broker now supports automated upgrade campaigns for macOS applications via Jamf Cloud. Administrators can define upgrade campaigns for macOS applications identified by Flexera ID, setting eligibility-based that drive automated upgrade actions across Jamf-managed devices.

When a device is identified as running an outdated or non-compliant version of a macOS application, App Portal generates an alert and orchestrates the upgrade through Jamf Cloud — ensuring users are seamlessly moved to the latest supported release. This eliminates version sprawl across the macOS estate, strengthens the organization's security posture, and drives consistent adoption of current, supported software.

Non-Indexing Uninstall Support for macOS Applications via Jamf

Jamf has deprecated the Jamf Admin component in Jamf Cloud, which was the primary mechanism previously used for index-based software uninstallation on macOS. To ensure continued compatibility and an uninterrupted software lifecycle management experience, App Portal/App Broker now supports a non-indexing method for configuring and executing uninstall programs for macOS applications via Jamf.

Administrators can configure the uninstall program using the new non-indexing method, which automatically creates the required groups and policies in Jamf Cloud. When a user submits an uninstall request through App Portal, the workflow is executed via Jamf and the resulting status is reflected back in App Portal in real time — delivering a seamless, end-to-end uninstall experience. This enhancement ensures that macOS application uninstallation continues to work reliably with the latest versions of Jamf Cloud.

Administrators can then select the desired image icon from list and associate with catalog item.

Data Sync Improvements

This configuration-based enhancement allows App Portal to synchronize usernames from Intune/Entra AD using the OnPremisesSamAccountName (Active Directory login name) when available and configured. This improves identity accuracy and ensures better compatibility for hybrid or on-premises Active Directory environments.

This will allow the use of both ConfigMgr and Intune for syncing user data, including computer and user-computer relationship details.

App Portal/App Broker 2025 R1 Release

We are excited to announce the general availability of App Portal/App Broker 2025 R1 release.

App Portal/App Broker 2025 R1 includes the following features and improvements.

Unified view to manage multiple Identity Access Management

 A new Identity Management view has been introduced to the App Portal menu. This view provides a streamlined interface to set up and manage user authentication through AD, Microsoft Entra ID, or both. It supports simultaneous use of AD and Entra ID users and groups. This is beneficial for customers transitioning from AD to Entra, allowing a smooth migration. The setup ensures seamless login access to the App Portal for both AD and Entra users, with the flexibility to choose one or multiple identity providers based on organisational needs.

Ability to Provide Permissions to Users/Groups

The App Portal now supports seamless integration with both Active Directory (AD) and Entra ID, allowing administrators to search and select users or groups from either identity source or both. If a user is not found in the primary identity source during login, App Portal will automatically fall back to the secondary source for authentication.

Permissions can be assigned at:

• Admin Security — Administrators can now search and select users or groups from both AD and Entra ID when configuring Admin Security. They can assign, edit, or delete permissions with ease. The system also provides a visual indicator of the identity source (AD or Entra), helping admins quickly identify where the user or group belongs.
• Catalog Security — Administrators have the ability to assign permissions to users or groups from both AD and Entra ID. Permissions can be granted, modified, or removed based on catalog requirements. The system also provides a visual indicator of the identity source (AD or Entra), helping admins quickly identify where the user or group belongs.

Ability to Leverage Active Directory / Microsoft Entra ID Attributes

The following capabilities can leverage attributes from Active Directory / Microsoft Entra ID:

• Visibility Condition — App Portal administrators can now add AD and Entra ID users/groups, along with Organizational Units (OUs) or Administrative Units (AUs), simultaneously streamlining configuration and access management. Catalog items are displayed to end users based on AD or Entra ID attributes evaluated through defined visibility conditions.

• Category Security — App Portal administrators can now add AD and Entra ID users/groups, along with Organizational Units (OUs) or Administrative Units (AUs), simultaneously streamlining configuration and access management. Catalog categories are displayed to end users based on AD or Entra ID attributes, enabling a personalized experience aligned with each user’s identity type.

• Approval Condition — App Portal administrators can now add AD and Entra ID users/groups, as well as Organizational Units (OUs) or Administrative Units (AUs), simultaneously. Approval workflows are automatically initiated based on AD or Entra ID attributes configured in the approval conditions.

Ability to Add Targets via Security Groups into Active Directory / Microsoft Entra ID

App Portal administrators can now configure users, devices or both into the specified groups in both AD and Entra ID groups at the same time, simplifying configuration. Targets are automatically added to their respective groups in AD and Entra ID based on the Security Group configurations and User Type.

Support Entra ID in Workflows

App Portal administrators can now create workflows using Entra ID users/groups. Entra users can be assigned as approvers and are enabled to perform approval actions, such as approving or rejecting incoming requests.

Ability to Submit Request

Hybrid, AD, and Entra users can now submit requests with enhanced flexibility, including options for submission without approval, basic approval workflows, license position checks and reservations, and the ability to request on behalf of other users.

Synchronization Support for Users and Computers

Basic support has been introduced to enable the simultaneous synchronization of Users and Computers from both Microsoft Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr) and Intune.

In Site Management > Settings > Deployment view, under the Intune tab, two new check boxes have been added to provide enhanced control over synchronization:

• Sync Users — Enables synchronization of user data from Intune.
• Sync Computers — Enables synchronization of computer or device data from Intune.

Installer Now Supports Configuring Multiple IAM

The App Portal installation and configuration experience has been enhanced to support flexible combinations of Authentication Types and Identity Providers. With this update, users now have the ability to select the desired authentication type during installation, allowing for configured identity management based on deployment needs.

App Portal supports the following configurations under the Identity Management settings:
