Ziti Desktop Edge on MacOS 26 - IPC Error

Hi all,

Recently some users are experiencing issues with Ziti on MacOS 26 (not all users though).

They get this error message when trying to login via URL (ext JWT)

At first, I thought it could be a certificate issue, however the root and intermediate certs are correctly loaded into the keychain and set to trusted. I also checked the web page of the controller and was able to connect without any cert validation errors.

I am not sure why its only affecting some users, my own macbook is on v26 and I dont seem to have the issue. Other mac users on MacOS v15 are not reporting any issues either.

I am kind of lost at this point, and I am assuming it could be MacOS v26 acting up as i’ve read other VPN solutions have been experiencing issues as well.

Thanks for your time!

Hello and thanks for letting us know about this!

The error message that you shared happens at a place in the application that deals with “mfa” enrollment. I also noticed that the MFA toggle in your screenshot seems to be enabled. Are you by any chance using MFA posture check policies?

No we aren’t using any MFA policies. I think the user assumed thats how they open the OIDC login flow.

When clicking the cloud icon nothing happens on their device. The cloud icon is sortof greyed out.

Interesting. There is no cloud/key icon in screen shot you shared here. Could you increase the log level to TRACE from the “Z” menu, and reproduce the issue and the logs to me?

Hey

sorry for the late reply I was away for a week. I instructed the user to reboot the laptop and then the cloud icon became functional. I’m not sure why but for now we are all good on the Mac client.

Cheers
