Yes, you read that right — Hexnode Access now extends to Linux devices, giving you the same identity-driven login control you’ve come to know on other platforms.

Here’s what you get with Hexnode Access on Linux:

    1. A dedicated Login with Work Account option at the greeter.
    2. Secure sign-in via your Identity Provider.
    3. Automatic provisioning/linking of local Linux accounts after successful IdP login.
    4. Limit Offline Access (LOA) — control how long a linked user can access the desktop before requiring re-authentication.
    5. Support for offline fallback scenarios, so users aren’t locked out unnecessarily.

Identity Provider support: Currently, Hexnode Access on Linux supports sign-in via Okta.

Platform support:
This release supports an Xorg-based session only. Supported distros include:

    • Ubuntu (GNOME + GDM)
    • Fedora (KDE Plasma + SDDM)
    • Linux Mint (Cinnamon/XFCE/MATE + LightDM)

Questions, feedback, or just want to say hi? We’re always here.

Regards,
Mary Romero
