How do I Renew a Push Certificate? - when I follow instructions.

When I go to Server and in Settings/Edit/Renew (to renew a push notification)
I get the following:
"The current certificate cannot be renewed. You must acquire a new certificate and reconfigure your devices."
No further instructions on how to acquire the "new" certificate.
Someone please lead me in the right direction?
Thank you.

I seem to be in a bit of a circular reference on this. The notifications part of the Server app tells me I cannot renew the certificate. When I go to "Manage my Certificates" and log into the portal, it tells me I must use the server app to obtain a new certificate. I'm still using Mountain Lion on my server and while I can live with this, my log is being bombarded with expired certificate notices that there doesn't seem a straightforward mechanism to fix.

Why do I keep getting "Error getting push certificate" when trying to enable Profile Manager

I keep getting this stupid error message! The Stupid Workgroup manager doesn't work! Won't allow me to do anything! What is the point in that! Sorry, just having a rant as I have just purchased this server which I can't do anything with. Can't get Profile Manager working because I keep getting error getting push certificate and cannot associate any user with a group. I can delete groups and users from AD but just wont allow me to create anything. The padlock is open so am authenticated. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH APPLE!

And do you know what is really sad, 3 hours later and I am still waiting for a confirmation email from Apple. No wonder the UK use mostly Windows!

How do I renew my Verisign certificate

Our Verisign certificate is about to expire and we need to replace it. Verisign can generate a new certificate based on our original request. Does this mean that all I should really have to do is to open Oracle Wallet, delete the old user certificate and add the new user certificate? Are there other steps?

I create a new request and a new wallet. Now I'm having trouble installing it on the app server. See Re: Install renew-ed user certificate in Wallet manager

How do i use Third Party certificates when setting up Lync 2013

Hi,
I'm currently installing a trial of Lync 2013 for my company and it has got to the stage of adding in certificates. My company have no wish to add in a Certificate Authority unless its vital, they have asked if its possible to use a third party certificate
provider. I have no idea how to go about this and would appreciate any help on where to get a certificates from as well as how to import these into Lync.
Many thanks
John

Yes it is possible. Thankfully Lync makes it very easy. When you deploy Lync one of the steps in the Lync Deployment Tool is to Request and Assign Certificates.
It's a wizard that will create the CSR for you and basically include all the required names.
You will however need UCC certificates for most things (that support multiple Subject Alternate Names) so it may get a little expensive.
The CA you choose is really up to you, but GoDaddy do some pretty reasonably priced UCC certificates. Digicert is also another commonly used CA

Renewing Push Certificate with renamed Apple ID

Hello everyone,
I have a specific problem here:
- I set up an OS X Lion Server at work to manage a bunch of iOS devices with Profile Manager
- I created an Apple-ID for my work-email to request a Push Certificate for that server
- I then RENAMED the Apple-ID to a functional email-address (however, my original one is still setup as alternative email address)
- I can still see my Push Certificate when login in to the Push Certificate Portal
- Now, I need to renew that certificate in 30 days.
Question 1: Can I renew that certificate using the Server.app (which still knows my old email-address) or do I need to rename my Apple-ID AGAIN to the old state before doing so?
Question 2: Will I need to re-enroll my iOS devices with either option stated above?
Question 3: I plan to upgrade to Mountain Lion Server - in the process, I will be asked for an Apple-ID for the Push Certificate ... will it be clever enough to recognize my renamed Apple-ID, or do I need to rename it before that as well?
Question 4: Is it possible to let Apple Support handle this mess, has anyone tried that successfully so far?
Thanks for reading :-)
Best regards,
Olaf

I'd like to share my experience how the process went.
As initially stated, I needed to renew my Push Certificate within 30 days, but had renamed my Apple ID (from [email protected] to [email protected]).
Renewing meant, re-enrolling all devices. Somebody suggested, I should upgrade to Mountain Lion Server first, THEN renew, it would be easier then (you know, click one button and BOOM, magic..).
So, the idea then was
- Perform in-place-upgrade
- re-enroll certificate after upgrade
short answer... that didn't work out.
Before upgrading, I trained on a cloned system.
In the process of the upgrade, you HAVE to enter an Apple-ID (i.e. email address) to connect to the APNS ... that means it either is exactly the one you created the Push Certificate with in the first place, or you re-enroll or your devices - Apple gives a nice warning message during the process.
OK, gnashing teeth, I renamed the Apple-ID back to the original state and tried the in-place upgrade again, this time on the production server ... what should go wrong, it worked out before on the clone (sans the certificate part) ... hhhm ... not this time. It seemed to be some problem with the Raid card. But hey, that's what Carbon Copy Cloner, psqldump and Timemachine are for, right?
Wrong.
After the restore, my production machine came up fine, everything worked - except pushing anything to my devices.
So, technically I restored OS X Lion Server to a running state AND had 3 different means of backup, just in case (CCC, Timemachine, scripted DB dumps and OD dumps) and still in the end, I had a bunch of devices that needed to be re-enrolled. Brilliant.
More gnashing teeth. Now, knowing I need to re-enroll anyway, I installed ML Server from scratch, created a new Push certificate (using [email protected].), re-entered ALL mobile devices, policies and groups by hand (oops, Apple dropped psqldump support in ML Server, there is no database import from prior versions..FRAK) and re-enrolled all devices, happy users assured.
And now the fun part: If you sign your mobile profiles (you know, that checkbox in Server App) for extra security, you need to take care of your Code Signing Certificates validity. You can renew this easily (one click, BOOM, magic).
The Code Signing Certificate is valid for 1 year. If you renew this certificate, re-enrollment is mandatory.
DOUBLE-FRAK.
So in the end, it didn't matter at all that I renamed my Apple-ID back and forth, it didn't matter that the in-place upgrade didn't work out and I had to do a clean install, there was actually no option of pulling this stunt without re-enrolling all devices, at least when the Code signing certificate were to expire.
Please Apple, FIX this. It can not be, that I have to re-enroll all my devices EVERY YEAR. Why are your certificates only valid one year? Why can't you design a convenient mechanism to renew all certificates and push them to the devices automatically?

1.Obtaining an Apple MDM push certificate from Apple

How do i do this .?

If this is for a third-party MDM solution, log in here:
https://identity.apple.com/pushcert/
and click the Create a Certificate button. I believe that OS X Server automatically applies for a push certificate when you set up that service.

HT3576 HOW Do I TURN OFF PUSH NOTIFICATIONS THRU ITUNES

How do I turn off push notifications when using words with friends on my iphone. It tells me to go thru itunes. Where do I do this??

1. Provide your iOS version
2. Define: "using words with friends." Are you referring to text messages or a specific 3rd party app? In any case, this is not controlled by iTunes.
Settings > Notification Center > select app you're using (Messages??) > select what type of notifications you do and don't want.

HT202213 When I have downloaded and paid for music several time the song will not play, saying that my computer is not authorized. When I follow insturction to authorize the computer says it already authorized and song or songs will not play...... Help.

Authorized music purchased will not play says unauthorized to play and when you follow instructions to fix the issue says authorized...

If only a few songs on an album are doing that, that suggests the tracks are damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Renewing Push Certificates?

Hi,
For newstand apps - do push certificates need to be renewed? Does anyone have information on how to do this?
Thank you.

1. No, Apple does not send a notification. If your dev and dist p12 cents expire, your app will be rejected at some point in the submission process--I don't recall when. It might be while building the app. If you don't update your app, expired dev and dist certs don't matter. Users can still use your app as before. You can even submit an app with expired push certs and your app will work fine--except for push, of course.
2. The distribution app in the store and on users' devices will still work if the distribution p12 is expired, but you'll need to update the cert before you resubmit a new version of the app. That's my understanding. An expired push production cert affects only push itself. If your push cert is expired, you'll get an error message when you click Notify. Users can still subscribe, download, and view articles regardless of push, but they won't get badges or background downloads.
3. If your dev and dist p12 certs are expired, just update them before you submit a new version. You don't need to rush to do it. For the p12 push cert, I don't believe that you need to resubmit the app. I believe that if you revoke and rebuild the push certs, the change is registered with Apple, and you can click Notify without an error. I'll be testing this soon.

Exchange 2010: How to renew an SSL certificate?

Hi all. I have done some reading but it seems I can't find just a simple step-by-step on how to renew an SSL certificate issued by a 3rd party CA for Exchange 2010. I really don't want to mess this one up by cobbling together partial answers
from various forums and end up omitting something, then being stuck unable to figure out why I broke email while the CEO flips out.
This is a standard GoDaddy 5-domain UCC certificate. There is only one Exchange server, SP3 (I don't think I have Rollup 6 on yet). The existing certificate expires in a month or so.
I have some specific questions but perhaps these would be answered via what I hope will be a step by step instruction set in your reply :) Sorry to appear lazy by asking for the full instructions just that so far no single forum post nor MS TechNet article
has addressed all my concerns, or in some cases information conflicts. So my concerns for example are: can you do a renewal for a certificate before the old one expires? It is actually a renewal, or are you adding a 2nd certificate?
Do you have to do anything in IIS or does EMC or EMS do all that for you?
Thank you.

-->Can you do a renewal for a certificate before the old one expires?
Yes. Normally 3rd party CA allows you to renew certificate before the current one expires.
-->It is actually a renewal, or are you adding a 2nd certificate?
You have to renew the certificate and a new/second certificate will be added to your server certificate store. Please check below for detailed step of Godaddy renewal. http://stevehardie.com/2013/10/how-to-renew-a-godaddy-exchange-2010-ssl-certificate/
-->Do you have to do anything in IIS or does EMC or EMS do all that for you?
You will have to do it from MMC or EMS. No need to do anything from IIS.
Follow the steps below to make your work easy or follow the video in this site site.http://www.netometer.com/video/tutorials/Exchange-2010-how-to-renew-SSL-certificate/
1. Run this command from EMS to generate CSR. You can see the CSR named "newcsr.txt" in C:\CSR
folder
Set-Content -path "C:\CSR\newcsr.txt" -Value (New-ExchangeCertificate -GenerateRequest -KeySize 2048 -SubjectName "c=US, s=WA, l=Bellavue, o=Contoso, cn=commonname.domain.com" -DomainName autodiscover.domain.com -PrivateKeyExportable $True)
2. Renew the certificate from Godaddy (from Godaddy portal) using the new CSR (i.e. newcsr.txt). Download the certificate from Godaddy after renewal.
3. Open Exchange MMC. Go to Server configuration. Right click on the pending request. Click on complete pending request and browse to the newly downloaded certificate. Make sure you have internet when doing this.
4. Assign services using the steps in the below site. Make sure you have selected the new certificate. You will see the thumbprint just before completion http://exchangeserverpro.com/how-to-assign-an-ssl-certificate-to-exchange-server-2010-services/
5.Delete the old one certificate from MMC.
From EMS use this command
Remove-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint <old cert thumprint>
You can see the the certificate thumprints using Get-ExchangeCertificate command
MAS. Please dont forget to mark as answer if it helped.

What is an APSP certificate? and how do I renew it?

I have a Mac Mini server with Mountain lion server on it. I use it for Web site serving, and I have File Sharing active on it.
I started getting the following notifications:
Certificate Expires Soon - APSP:34a61ab4-43ce-43e1-8a45-036445c241a0
The following certificate is about to expire on your server, web4.local:
Name: APSP:34a61ab4-43ce-43e1-8a45-036445c241a0
Expiration Date: 16 December, 2012 10:59:27 AM EST
It seems that the server has 4 of these certificates and I get 4 notifications every day.
I could find nothing about them. What's the service they support? where to renew them? How do I turn off this notification if there isn't much that I can do about them.
Under the server hardware's settings pane, I checked all the SSL Certificates that I have and the local self-signed ones and none of them expire in 2012.
So I'm confused to say the least.

I'm in the same boat. Here's what I've found out:
These certificates are used by the "Apple Push Notification Service" (APNS) and apparently have nothing to do with Cisco's Access Point Security Protocol (APSP). Push Notifications are used to do things like immediately alert you of new mail on your iPhone (rather than have the iPhone polling every few minutes to check if there is new mail).
Now, how to renew them (in theory because it doesn't work for me - it might for you):
1) open the "Server" application
2) in the Hardware section (top left), click your server
3) click the "Settings" tab
4) presumably "Enable Apple push notifications" is already checked. (if not, delete or move the expiring certificates out of /etc/certificates and that should stop the alert emails)
5) click the "Edit" button after "Enable Apple push notifications"
6) a drop down panel will show the apple ID and expiry for your Apple Push Notification Service certificate. The expiry will probably be in red. Click the Renew button.
7) enter the password for your Apple ID and click Renew certificate.
Hopefully that works for you. I end up with a "An unexpected error (-1) has occurred". If I click on the "Manage your certificates" link, I'm directed to an apple site that has a certificate expiry about 8 months after the one in the Settings page. I'm guessing that's the one being used and not the one shown in my settings page. I'll wait until after the certificates expire, see if anything breaks then delete the expired certificates.
If anyone knows how to determine which APSP:<uuid> certificate is being used on OSX Server or how the Apple Push Notification picks which certificate to use, please let me know. I have five APSP certificates in /etc/certificates and I suspect only one is needed.
Cheers,
Dean

How to revoke mac os x server push certificates?????

I am trying to clean up my purchsed copy of Lion Server. After I drag the os X server application to the trash and go to the apple store where I purchased Lion server for my mac it says that Server is already installed on my computer and the transaction cannot be completed. So then I decided to try and delete the push certificates I created and when I try to revoke them it takes me to a screen that says "False" and I can't seem to revoke these certificats
How can you get them revoked. I am just learning by trial and error. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

That page talks about Snow Leopard's Networking abilities, not Leopards.
Off hand, I don't know whether what you describe is a new feature in Snow Leopard or not, but I've never seen Leopard do it (and, to be honest, wouldn't want to).
In either case, it's basically just Bonjour telling the router to configure port forwarding. Given that, I'd start by enabling mod_bonjour in Apache:
#LoadModule bonjour_module libexec/apache2/mod_bonjour.so
but I don't know how other processes are doing it.

Hi qwerty,
Dun tink that creative customer support sucks cos I had been dealing with them in the past and I can say that their service are quite gd and fast. If you wanted a refund, I tink you need to contact the store that sells you the product. Dun tink creative will refund you though.
