Issue
Unable to sign into print.xavier.edu from a Mac device based on the "Apple Silicon" architecture.
Cause
We have identified this issue to be caused by a feature in macOS that is designed to prevent cross network tracking by using a virtual mac address. This needs to be disabled on "Apple Silicon" based Macs to properly access print.xavier.edu.
Resolution
To resolve this issue:
- Open the Apple menu by clicking the Apple logo at the top left of your screen, then click "System Settings" or "System Preferences" depending on your macOS version.
