Supervised to Federation authentication

We have been using Meraki MDM for 18 months in supervised mode.  Can we switch to Federation authentication without resetting devices? All our devices are iOS

Are you talking about federated logins with Apple Business/School manager? or with Active directory?

Authentication is only done at the time of enrollment with iOS, so if you're talking about changing the settings in Systems Manager > General > End User Authentication then you'll notice that Systems Manager > Owners will populate when new users enroll

 

However, if you are talking about setting up Federation in Apple Business Manager / Apple School Manager, and are using shared iPad, then you may notice a few changes on the device, and you'll have to ensure that you go to Systems Manager > Overview  and sync Apple School Manager to get the new users

 

Without any more detail, I can't offer any more information

 

BUT, long story short: You won't have to reset / re-enroll devices
