Integration with Microsoft Intune

Preparing UEM Platform for Integration

Prerequisites

Harmony Mobile service integrates with Microsoft Intune through Azure Portal.

To enable integration:

  1. Configure Microsoft Intune for UEMClosed Unified Endpoint Management. An architecture and approach that controls different types of devices such as computers, smartphones and IoT devices from a centralized command point. Authority. For more information, see Android device enrollment guide for Microsoft Intune | Microsoft Learn.

  2. Configure Microsoft Intune with an Apple Push Certificate (APNS). For more information, see iOS/iPadOS device enrollment guide for Microsoft Intune | Microsoft Learn.

  3. Valid Microsoft license that allows the integration with Harmony Mobile. The following components should be included in the Microsoft license:

    • Conditional Access

    • Microsoft Intune plan1

    • Microsoft Entra ID P1

    Check Point recommends Enterprise Security (EMS) E3 or E5 license.

Microsoft Intune Console view:

Best Practice - For integration with the Check Point Harmony Mobile, use Security groups to set up the same UEM hierarchy as in your organization's internal hierarchy, or set up groups based on Microsoft Intune features and content.
