Will ABM federated Auth effect our Jamf Connect

[user-KUVwiXByag]

We have been using Jamf Connect for a couple years. It is connected to Okta for SSO login.

We recently got Apple Business Manager and are starting down the path for Intune BYOD for iOS devices. We want to turn on federated authentication to our Azure AD for managed Apple ID's.

Just want to double check this would have no effect on Jamf Connect. I am 99% sure it would not since Jamf Connect points to Okta only.

You are correct, it would have no effect on Jamf Connect.

Follow up question. Besides what Apple lists here: Transfer Apple services when federating - Apple Support (CA)

Is there anything else we should be aware of or concerned with for turning on ABM federated Auth with Azure?

That's really more of an Apple question. As far as the items listed on that page, if your APNS is tied to a personal Apple ID and you wish to change it to a MAID, you can by contacting Apple. Do not just make the change without contacting Apple or you will need to re-enroll all devices.

The decisions to change APNS and GSX (if you have that enabled) are an organization decision. Nothing breaks if you keep them as is. Just think about the future and if tied to someone's Apple ID, if that person leaves the org you will need their Apple ID login info to make changes.
