I am currently using the lightspeed mdm to manage the iPad's in our school. However I am running into a problem with the fact i need to enter my login details everytime to get onto the internet through the lightspeed proxy. This means that instead of just pushing all the apps out i want i have to enter my credentials then let the apps download. This is causing the process to be painfully slow at times so is there anyway round this issue.

 

thanks

You say you are using Lightspeed MDM, but are you also using a Lightspeed Rocket as you say you need to authenticate through the "Lightspeed Proxy"?

When you open safari on the iPad it asks you for your school username and password. If you dont enter your details it dosent allow you onto the internet.

Why are attempting to manage the iPads using an iPad, or are you trying to enrol the iPads into the MDM?

Problem sorted now had to change some settings in the rocket but just to clarify when a student or a teacher goes to use the internet on an iPad they must sign in to start using it as it authenticates them and allows us to know what they are doing on the device. So the problem was it kept asking me on each iPad to connect to the internet.

That is the lightspeed rocket webfilter.

Nothing to do with the Lightspeed MDMv3

 

If the rocket is set up correct with the allow list, it wont need user authentication to push apps to it. But only if they actually go on the internet.
