Has anyone successfully configured push notification services?

I have been struggling with this since mid December and still have not figured out how to configure or even debug push notificaiton services. I am running a Mac Mini Lion Server and have read every thread, article, snippet and breadcrumb on these discussion forums and elsewhere. I have been through jabberd/twisted/SSL/config in fine grained detail.
So my question is simply - is there anyone out there that has 10.7.3 and Push Notifications configured for mail/Calendar Server/iChat working? Did it just work out of the box for you by checking the box and requesting a cert? Did you have to go through a detailed debugging exercise and if so, what are the key components in this spaghetti that is the Lion APNS gateway?
I am happy to start posting logs and working with some contributors on this, but I would like to know that it is even possible before investing the time.
HELLLLLLLP! Please tell me there is light at the end of this tunnel!

Off of the top of my head the only push notification setting I am aware of in Lion Server is in Profile Manager and this only applies to Profile Manager services. Caldav and carddav have been updating fine for me whether I have Profile Manager on or off.

Has anyone successfully set up scan to smb to mac os 10.7.x from a Konica Minolta bizhub

Has anyone successfully set up scan to smb to mac os 10.7.x from a Konica Minolta bizhub. I'm using 10.7.3 on MacBook Pro. Don't care what model bizhub is being used as I have access to many. I've seen the posts for FTP workarounds but want to use SMB if that is an option. Any suggestions? Thank you!

I've read other discussions that have suggested changing the format of the username and password when having login problems. I'm not familiar with NT-Status Codes. Could changing the format of the username make any difference? Something like... "workgroup/username" or "username@domain" or "domain/username" or some other combination of workgroup, domain, username, computername.
The issue has nothing to do with the format of the user authentication. What you are reading is about the Lion Mac connecting to a Windows computer that is part of domain or workgroup. The method changed slightly compared to Snow Leopard.
KM does support FTP so that is still an option, but I would ideally would like to set up SMB scanning. I'm not sure if KM is going to support AFP anytime soon.
With the lack of SMB support and KM offering no alternative at this stage then I suggest you look at using FTP. While Lion removed the option to enable FTP via the Sharing pane in System Preferences, it can still be enabled via Terminal using the following command
sudo -s launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ftp.plist
You will be prompted to authenticate using your Mac's admin account & password. Once this is done, you can then configure the address on the copier to push scan using FTP. The keys are;
The host name requires just the IP address. No leading slashes like SMB
The path will be the folder that you want to scan to, also entered without a leading slash. For example, Desktop
The user name will be the short name of the account who's folder you want to scan to.
The only other option may be WebDAV if the KM supports it. We have this with our imageRUNNER ADVANCE and with a document scanned to a shared folder in the copier hard drive, we can then connect to that folder by using Finder's > Go > Connect to Server facility. You then just enter
http://ipaddress/share
which connects you to the shared folder and lets you see the document you scanned. You also have the facility to set subfolders for security of users documents.

Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive?

Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive? Apple support tech tried to tell me it wasn't possible and that the only NAS Time Machine could back up to is the Time Capsule, but I'm not buying it. I know it's doable, but I'm having a hard time figuring out which External HDDs will work and which ones won't. If not My Book for Mac, is there an External HDD that will work? (Running OS X 10.9.1 - Mavericks, btw...)

Given the nature of backups, my recommendation has always been to use a strategy that is unequivocally supported by Apple. As you already determined Apple Support unequivocally informed you that your proposal will not work, unless your router is an Apple AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule.
The exhaustive list of devices supported by Time Machine amounts to the following:
AirPort Time Capsule's built-in hard disk (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to a Time Capsule (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to an AirPort Extreme (current model only)
A hard disk drive directly connected to your Mac
That is all.
Use whatever backup device you want, but you should be aware that this site is full of reports of misery from hapless individuals who had been using NAS devices for Time Machine backups, only to find that they were incomplete, corrupted, or useless when they were required. Apple won't care if you lose your data while using a Time Machine configuration specifically excluded from their technical support documents.

Has anyone successfully connected an AEBS to the new Panasonic TVs with built-in WiFi? If so, please describe the requirements and process. Thanks.

Has anyone successfully connected an AEBS to the new Panasonic TVs with built-in WiFi? If so, please describe the requirements and process. (TV subscription is through DirecTV and ISP is TWC.) Thanks.

If you wish to use the cellular capabilities of a device, you will need a SIM (unless the carrier uses CDMA which doesn't use SIMs) and you will have to pay a cell carrier. No cell company provides service for free. The only way you will get free Internet is via WiFi to a free and open WiFi access point, as sometimes is offered in public buildings or by some businesses.

The following Apple Push Notification Service certificate will expire June 10, 2014.

We have a BES10.1.2 server with a UDS server. We have multiple iOS users that access work emails via Work Space/Work Connect. I do not find anything in the licensing that indicates anything is due to expire, however, we are receiving emails that the Apple Push Notification Service certificate is due to expire tomorrow. How do I determine if this is in fact the case? How do I renew this certificate?

Has anyone successfully reset their Skype account ...

I've posted on this before, but none of you good people have shared your thoughts on this. Unfortunately, Skype Customer Service don't appear to have a "standard response" e-mail template to address my problem.
Nine days after I first reported that my Skype account has been hacked I am still going round in circles, with "standard response" e-mails from the Skype Customer Support people asking me to do something which I have already tried but which was not the correct thing to do to reset my Skype Account password.
My Skype Account password has been changed by a hacker.
My Microsoft Account, which is linked to Skype, has not been hacked and the password has been changed (three times in a week ..... see below).
I need to change only my Skype account password but the password reset links take me through to Microsoft and I end up changing my Microsoft account password. This does not resolve the Skype Account Password situation.
Has anyone successfully reset their unknown or forgotten password from a Skype account which has been linked to their Microsoft account?
Does anyone know whether Skype themselves can unlink a Skype Account from a Microsoft Account? Unfortunately I can only do it with the password I do not have!!! I feel that this could be one way of changing my password without being redirected to the Microsft Account Password Reset option.

Well, it's me again. However, I now have a new name on the Community Forum as I have had to re-register as I no longer seem to exist.
I contacted Skype Customer Support via their web chat service and the operator unlinked my Skype Account (which, if you've read any other posts from my original name alison01326) you will recall was hacked and I was unable to make a change to the password as I kept getting through to the Microsoft account password change which was not the password that needed changing.
I would have said, that if you need to unlink the two accounts, just ask. But now I am not so sure. My Skype Account (the one which was hacked, and still has someone else's password on it) has vanished, taking with it £10 of Skype Credit and the World Minutes which I receive monthly as part of Office 365.
I now have five or six different customer service references to quote, and not only can I not get my account verified (as my memory doesn't stretch back to when I first had a Skype account) I also appear to have lost £10 and a valuable "free" service.
Have been in tears over this as 11 days have passed since the hacking and nothing positive has been achieved. Does anyone else have the same experiences, and what was the outcome?

No Certificate from Push Notification Service

Hi all,
I'm trying to get an Apple Push Notification Service certificate, but after starting,
the dialog seems stucked forever while "Acquiring...".
The credentials are correct, I have allready tried different Apple-IDs, restarting Server.app
and also restarting the Mac, but no help so far.
This has been working within the last weeks flawlessly -- any thoughts are very welcome.

In order to get push notification certificate, do I need to be a paid member/developer ?
I am a free developer. How do I get a push notification certificate ?

Has anyone successfully used Oracle EM as a Monitoring Solution??

Hi All,
This might be a wrong place to post ;) but anyways. My question is can we use Oracle EM as a Monitoring Solution? If so has anyone successfully used it?
I have used Oracle EM over the years for mostly managing Databases. Eventually with the Middleware Support I have tried to use it to monitor Middleware Servers, earlier OC4J and recently WebLogic Servers. I however find that most people when talk about EM they think of it as a Business Transaction Monitoring Solution. (Lets keep BTM out for a while I know about that plugin but it is another full set of questions)
Mostly I get questions as to can we "drill down the transactions" and see who initiated it and "what is being processed at this moment". Here transaction means Business Transaction as opposed "this thread is executing this particular piece of code". People want to know this piece of code is being executed "for Purchase Order XYZ" as opposed to just knowing that purchase order is being processed. If you know what i mean.
No doubt OEM is great tool for an Admin but does it really sell itself as a monitoring solution? I have not seen a successful implementation so far with OEM being a central monitoring solution. If anyone has any experiences to share it would be great.

I tried to look at that option. It is available only for the Database. I was looking something more towards say the web Services hosted or the Web Applications hosted on Weblogic instances. Can we find say the Web Service call which had the Purchase Order XYZ in its request, etc.

Push notification service confussion

Hello all,
Hope u all r reading this in the best of the time. Recently i read on the net abt the push notification service from the apple team. It indeed is a great thing to see since there is no background processing, but i do have some queries in this concern.
The first thing i wana know is that when Apple is going to launch this new service? Another thing which i read is that it needs the firmware to be changed, now the thing that confuses me is that how can we update our emulator for iPhone (the one that comes with the Xcode ide)? or will there be an update in the SDK an we will need to re download it? Is there any such program so that one can get register and get this service a bit earlier (before its release)?
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Best regards,
Obaid

Ok, now the iPhone OS 2.1 BETA has been released. Do any one have any idea about notification service? Any help in this regard. I have downloaded the latest version and now i m going to install it.
Please let me know because i haven't read any thing abt notification service in the documentation.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Obaid

Push notification service fills the system log with errors

When I have the push notification service enabled, my system logs become filled with messages such as this:
Sep 8 22:54:54 xserve jabberd/c2s[2175]: [7] [::ffff:192.168.1.100, port=50064] connect
Sep 8 22:54:54 xserve jabberd/c2s[2175]: [7] [::ffff:192.168.1.100, port=50064] disconnect jid=unbound, packets: 0
They occur at a rate of about two every second. What does that message mean and how do I stop it?

When I took a look at push notification, I noticed that it was listening to a different port than what dovecot had been configured to use.(jabberd was set to listen to 5347, while Dovecot (email) was using the standard 5222 port for that open protocol. Not sure what the ichat server is set to use.
Eventually, I did manage to get it working by updating the push notification config to listen to 5222. But it made no real difference because thunderbird and mail.app prefer imap updatings instead of push notification. So I turned it off.
Not sure if this is of any help to you.

Apple push notification service problem

Hi all,
I'm trying to implement notification push service to my app.
I'm reading here:
http://mobiforge.com/developing/story/programming-apple-push-notification-servic es
and here:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/NetworkingInternet/Concep tual/RemoteNotificationsPG/Introduction/Introduction.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP 40008194-CH1-SW1
When I try to connect to the sandbox service server with my php code:
[code]
<?php
      $token = $_GET['myapptoken'];
      $deviceToken = $token; // token dell'iPhone a cui inviare la notifica
      // Passphrase for the private key (ck.pem file)
       $pass = "mypass";
      // Get the parameters from http get or from command line
      $message = 'Notification text';
      $badge = 1;
      $sound = 'default';
      // Construct the notification payload
      $body = array();
      $body['aps'] = array('alert' => $message);
      if ($badge)
            $body['aps']['badge'] = $badge;

Does Office365 EWS provides Push Notification service for Contacts and Calendar Events?

Even though there are REST API's for performing PUSH and PULL operations for Office365(online), I am still looking the old EWS approach where in I want to subscribe for PUSH notification service for Contacts, Calendars and Mail Boxes.
Can any one suggest if there is a way to achieve this.

I posted an answer in your Stack Overflow post.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27837887/does-office365-ews-provides-push-notification-service-for-contacts-and-calendar/27844747#27844747

In the Apple Push Notification Service,How long does a push notification sit in queue before being removed?

Official developer documentation isn't clear about this.
Apple Push Notification Service includes a default Quality of Service (QoS) component that performs a store-and-forward function. If APNs attempts to deliver a notification but the device is offline, the QoS stores the notification. It retains only one notification per application on a device: the last notification received from a provider for that application. When the offline device later reconnects, the QoS forwards the stored notification to the device. The QoS retains a notification for a limited period before deleting it.

This is an iPad user to user forum, so you are not addressing Apple. We have no way to know what and when Apple will do something.
 Cheers, Tom
