Hello Everyone,
Has anyone implemented mobile device manager via Intune / Sophos Mobile? We want to manage IOS devices via intune where if the user leaves the org we could wipe the device.

Hi Dhaval User ,
Thank you for reaching out to the Sophos Community Forum.
Have you had a chance to go through this document? - Set up Microsoft Intune integration
Microsoft also has a published article on how to integrate Sophos Mobile with Intune.
I hope this helps.
Checking over the steps present in the documentation, it looks like the integration between Sophos and InTune only allows you to control the Intercept X Mobile/MTD applications.
If you wish to send a wipe command, you will need to do this through Intune. Intune will remain the primary MDM. The integration only allows data to be sent to Intune from the threat protection app "Intercept X Mobile"
The APNS Certificate will still be required on the SMC side. Sophos Mobile will need a way to communicate with the iOS devices, this is only possible by having an APNS certificate.
My reply above did not explain this fully, though the images shown on the following page do describe this process quite well.

The CIXM (Central Intercept X Mobile) application will communicate with the Sophos Mobile portal. The Sophos Mobile portal then communicates with Microsoft Intune so the data can be displayed within Intune.

After checking with our team, it looks like the APNS Certificate is not required in Sophos Mobile. The CIXM app communicates directly into the Sophos Mobile portal.
This is only if you're utilizing the CIXM application alone. Apologies for the confusion.
