Deploying NoMAD over VMware Per-App Tunnel

Fri, 16 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Some folks recently reached out to me asking for help figuring out how to route NoMAD traffic over VMware Tunnel. Basically, the ask was to use Per-App Tunneling to give NoMAD the ability to obtain Kerberos Tickets and Sync AD passwords without being directly on the Enterprise network. If you're familiar with my previous article about the macOS Catalina Kerberos SSO Plugin, you'll know that Apple's built-in functionality in Catalina doesn't work well with Per-App Tunneling.

If you've read my blogs about macOS Catalina Kerberos SSO over Per-App Tunnel and the followup, you'll know that this has been a use-case I'm interested in solving. I put a great deal of effort into filing feedback with Apple and providing steps to replicate the issue. I was quite excited when I saw the per-app Tunnel improvements specifically mentioned in the WWDC videos, and hoped perhaps some changes were made to enable this functionality.

macOS Catalina Kerberos SSO over VPN Followup

I've been going back and forth with Apple about some of the issues I previously found using the macOS Catalina Kerberos SSO over Per-App VPN. As it turns out, they acknowledged some of the issues I was seeing and are supposedly working on a fix. I've been watching the past few beta releases for macOS, and I've not yet seen anything in the release notes to indicate they've implemented any fixes.

Testing macOS Catalina Kerberos SSO Extension Over VPN

Working at VMware, I'm surrounded by great technology and super-smart folks! In our portfolio of technologies, the folks in our R&D have recently been putting quite a bit of effort into building out macOS capabilities for our Workspace ONE Tunnel client for macOS. Workspace ONE admins can leverage the same VMware technology they used to enable per-app VPN for iOS and Android, but now on macOS! There's a bit of nuance to configuring the VPN client if you're previously familiar with iOS (look for my Operational Tutorial soon to hit TechZone). That said, the premise is the same -- by configuring the appropriate rules, the Tunnel app redirects traffic from whitelisted applications back into your network through the Unified Access Gateway.
