Microsoft Intune & Meraki with Apple Classroom certificates

[hr32]

Hi All

 

I'm hoping someone here can shed some light on a question for me.

 

I have a couple hundred Apple iPads currently managed by Meraki Systems Manager in our school. We currently use a free version which doesn't allow the use of Apple Classroom.

As a school we have access to Office 365 and Microsoft Intune, which I've looked at changing to so we can use Apple Classroom.

When looking at setting it up I found Apple Classroom requires Signed Certificates to enable it to work.

 

So my question is.. Does anyone know an easy way to create certificates without having to buy them? Or perhaps is there a way around them, Meraki doesn't seem to require these certificates like Intune does.

 

Any help or insight here would be fantastic

 

Thanks in advance!
