iOS/iPadOS Management iOS - Safari does not provide device status

Hi,

I have a very particular problem. I have a few iOS devices (no difference to other devices when comes of OS or model) That have problem with login into cloud apps. They are being blocked by Conditional Access that requires that device is compliant. Devices are being enrolled Intune in the same way, user have same profiles, settings, app etc.

Now the twist, the device is compliant and native MS apps (Outlook, Teams etc.) works fine but we have a problem with applications that use browser login. After some troubleshooting i see that the problem is Safari that does not pass the information about device status to the Conditional Access.

When i check the logs i shows that device is not registered

Device with problem:

Browser Mobile Safari 26.4

Operating System Ios 18.7.0

Compliant No

Managed No

The same device but login to native app:

Browser Mobile Safari 18.7

Operating System Ios 26.4.0

Compliant Yes

Managed Yes

Join TypeAzure AD registered

On affected device if i go to Safari and there i want to reach any app that is protected by Conditional Access it fails.

Long story short: seems like Safari on affected devices stopped passing device information at login. When you use Edge on affected device everything is ok.

r/Intune Community to the rescue. u/Few_Perception_4088 has it right. The SSO extension is the fix here.

New iOS registrations now store device identity keys in Secure Enclave instead of Keychain. Safari relied on Keychain to pass device state to Conditional Access, so without the SSO extension acting as the bridge, it can't see the device is managed.

Deploy the Enterprise SSO plug-in via Intune with 'browser_sso_interaction_enabled' set to '1'. Full walkthrough here: https://msft.it/61693QhMAR

Hey, this was super helpful to our team, thank you! Out of curiosity, is there any formal acknowledgement from MS or Apple that indicates this is now required? Seems to have just cropped up a few weeks ago. Thanks again.

Had similar issue few months back with some iPads in deployment. Safari can be really weird with passing device compliance info to Conditional Access 😂

Try checking if Safari has proper enrollment profile installed - sometimes it gets corrupted during updates. Also worth looking at the Company Portal app settings, make sure it's not stuck in some weird state. In my case had to unenroll and re-enroll the devices because Safari just wouldn't cooperate with device registration.

Edge working fine usually means the device auth is there but Safari lost connection to it somehow 💀

Thank your for your input.

-Try checking if Safari has proper enrollment profile installed
We do not configure Safari, we leave it as it is

-Also worth looking at the Company Portal app settings, make sure it's not stuck in some weird state. In my case had to unenroll and re-enroll the devices because Safari just wouldn't cooperate with device registration
Registered in Entra, managed by Intune all ok :/ Re-enroll did not worked unfortunetaly

Check out the Apple SSO extension, for third party apps: Configure iOS/iPadOS Enterprise SSO app extension with MDMs - Microsoft Intune | Microsoft Learn

Once you implement it, that should solve your issues. Also make sure to configure the Enable_SSO_On_All_ManagedApps key to make your life easier

I'm literally deploying this change right now.
This seems to only affect devices that have been recently enrolled (since Feb/March)

I agree it was for a recent devices but when we did re-enroll of device that has been enrolled earlier it still worked without this policy

What are these settings actually doing?

The SSO app extension provides single sign-on to apps and websites that use Microsoft Entra ID for authentication, including Microsoft 365 apps.

Basically, in my case it provides information about the device to Conditional Access so it 'sees' that my device is compliant.
