Push Notification Issues - Lion Server 10.7

Hey All,
Am having a few issues with Push on Lion, it seems to work for a short period of time after setting up, then seems to stop being able to push. Today I woke up to a server running at a constant ~60% processor utilisation and this error repeating itself over and over again in the log...
Jul 29 15:11:05 mail push_notify[105]: discarding message; not connected to notification server
There is also single errors from com.apple.APNBRidge saying "Disconnected from apn feedback server feedback.push.apple.com for topic com.apple.mail.xserver.xxxxxxxxxxxx: error (null) - there is one for each different service push supports and they are straight after connect messages.
Do Push services require any ports opening up? I did have the server set up in DMZ for a while but it still managed to fall over, so I took it back out. However I'd imagine the server is sending notifications out rather than listening in for anything.
I've reinstalled this server around 5 times now and am reaching the end of my patience! Everytime Push starts working then stops, last night Web services fell over and I was getting database connection errors, as there were push notification errors in the log, I un-ticked and re-ticked the Apple Push notification checkbox and things came back up. It's a shame it seems very temperamental as it's such a huge feature. I have this one set with a self signed cert, set up as per when you enable profile server. This is also trusted by any devices testing.
I've turned Push off for the moment as it seems intent on bringing down the rest of the services I have set up Just turned off Mail and the processor use dropped to almost nothing, restarted it and things are now calm.
Also anyone know how to set up automount's from the command line? My production environment has NFS sharepoints for User directories - for the purpose of being able to use fast user switching on client machines (AFP doesn't support this). Exports are easy as are in a file, but I'm struggling with the automounts.
Any ideas?
Cheers all.

Any luck on this? I got my Lion Server running and managed to get puch notifications on Mail, but no luck with iOS. Appear to have the same problem:
Aug 1 10:20:25 server push_notify[102]: notification server connect failed, will retry in 300 seconds
Aug 1 10:20:28 server push_notify[102]: discarding message; not connected to notification server

Setting up Push Notification in Lion Server

Dear all,
I am setting up a Lion Server which allows users to enroll their ipad, and want to send out push notification.
After I got a SSL cert, enroll the ipad.However, I could not see any way to push my notification to application in my ipad. So here is my question:
1. Does the APNs set up in the Lion Server Connecting to the gateway.apple.com:2195 or directly connect to the ipad? Because my target environment will be a private network.
2. How can I configure Lion Server so that it could send out push notification? ( either from apple or direcly push )
Thanks

Thanks for your reply,
However,
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3947
Referring to the above documents,
" Additionally, the service can be configured to provide Push Notifications to third-party applications which use the ServerNotification "
This really confuse me

Lync Push Notifications Issue 504 Error

I know that this is a common issue but I haven't been able to find a resolution. I am looking more for clarification and guidance at this point.
I have my Lync 2013 Server set up with an Edge server and TMG as the reverse proxy. Lync services work fine externally and the RemoteConnectivityAnalyzer performs all steps just fine. It has been working for months now.
I just decided over the weekend to try and get push notifications working. I followed a couple guides on how to do that, went through all of the commands but eventually got stuck trying to Test the federation and push. When I enter the command Test-CsFederatedPartner
-TargetFqdn lyncedge.domain.local -Domain push.lync.com I get the 504 (server time-out) error.
When I run the logging on the Edge server I see SIPAdminLog::WriteDiagnosticEvent 1198.idx that says Unable to Route the Request. The result code is 0xc3e93d6e SIPPROXY_E_EPROUTING_MSG_DISCOVERED_DOMAIN_NO_SRV_MATCH. The Data says domain="push.lync.com";fqdn1=sipfed.online.lync.com:5061";reason="The
domain of the message resolved by DNS SRV but none of the FQDNs is in the same domain".
On my external DNS I have:

I have an A record pointing sip.mydomain.com to my TMG reverse proxy and just allowing it through to the access edge interface of my lyncedge server.
I have a public cert on all of my lync services from GoDaddy so I don't believe that is the issues as some people have come across. I think I have something mixed up in my A, CName and SRV records which are not pointing to the correct locations.
If anyone could help me out it would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Tmark86

You created a SRV for sipfed.online.lync.com in your external DNS server.
Delete this record.
Then open Command Prompt, run the commands below:
Nslookup
>set type=srv
>_sipfederationtls._tcp.push.lync.com

Facebook push notification issues

I have recently converted to an iPhone 5C. I was previously on Android and never had this issue before.
I have followed step by step instructions and have successfully installed other apps such as twitter, bbm, whatsapp and am able to receive notifications.
For some reason I cannot get any push notifications from Facebook on my device. Everything has been checked and rechecked. I have spent hours on the phone to tech support who also contacted Apple for guidance. Friends who also have the same handset have also had a look but cannot see what is causing the issue.
It has been left for me to contact Facebook but they do not respond separately so am not confident that I will get a response from them. I have been left to deal with this on my own.
We have restored the phone to factory settings to see if this makes a difference and also gone through the notification settings on the iPhone and app settings. All is normal!
Can anyone please help?

This have SOLVED all my notification problem:
Go to ios Setting/Mail,Contacts,Calendars/Fetch New Data: set Push to ON (my was set to off)
Scroll down to Advanced and set icloud to Push (my was set to manual)
I deactivated all this settings because of battery drain, but after this, all works fine.
That's all.
Be sure that all Facebook notification settings are active in the Notifications window.

Revoking push certificate for lion server does not work

After reinstalling my Lion Server - based on a Mac Mini Server - I generated also a new Push Certificate since I changed a lot of names/config. Now I found that an older Push Certificate is shown as active althoug I allready revoked it. When I hit the Revoke Button besides that Certificate (that is shown as valid and active until 9-12) I get an error - allready revoked!? Does this harm my configuration and can I do anything to solve this problem?
Thanks for any help/suggestions.
Best,
Torsten

The truth is, I shouldn't have posted this. Sorry. Late. Frustrated. I really just want it to work. I got Lion in hopes of learning how it worked. Now that I know it doesn't, I know not to recommend to my clients.
Apple should give up trying to "make believe" you can manage an Enterprise Network Server using a GUI. They have successfully proven it over and over. Lion is their coup d' gras of "Don't try this at home".
Now, I will search the forum for the answer, sure to discover that after a long, long, session in Terminal, using cryptic unix commands, I'll solve my problem.
That's all. It will be doubly frustrating, as I'll have to turn off the Server so I can even see the internet, to find answers, create pdf's of web pages, turn the server back on, and try to fix.
It is simply unacceptable. That's all.

Push Notifications Issues...

I recently got the 'Whatsapp' messenger service for my iPhone 3g (on O2) as I was going over my usege of texts.
However, when my phone is locked, this wifi being turned off & being limited to gsm (no 3g where I am...horrendous) I get no push notifications.
If the phone is unlocked & on wifi...push works.
This completely defeats the point of push notifications.
Any help?

Not having a 3G signal makes it a bit difficult wouldn't you agree ? Thats not exactly an App issue.

Push Notification Issues

Is anyone else having some issues with their notifications? They don't pop up when they should. My mail never advises me when I have new mail, it only sounds the alert after I open the app. Same for Facebook, Twitter, and a few other app's as well. Is anyone having trouble with this?

Yes! I do have exactly the same issue on my iPhone4!
I do not get notifications on apps such as HeyTell and Viber.
I have to check every minute to check if there is any message incoming.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
By the way, I am dead sure that push notifications are on both apps!

Push notification with ical server to known Attendees of the OD

Hello Apple-Community.
I have a Problem with the Push-Invitations of my Mac Server.
Here´s my background:
- MAC OS X 10.6.4 as Mail-Server, Ical-Server, OD-Master
- Ical and Thunderbird Lightning 1.02b as Calendar-Clients
My Problem:
Every Attendee in my Calender-System with an E-Mail, listet in the OD under the field "mail" eg. "EMailAddress" doesn´t get any Invites via E-Mail. If I delete the EMailAdress in my OD, the user gets an E-Mail-Invitation.
My target:
I want modify the System. The Push-Notification-Server shall send always an E-Mail to every Attendee of an appointment.
I would modify the appropriate configuration file but I have really no idea, where I can search.
I hope, that someone can help me.
Best regards.
Ornaminer

I have a very similar configuration with all PC Thunderbird/Lightning clients. I need the same resolution, but think that an add-on to Thunderbird/Lightning that would accept the event push notifications and allow a response is also a solution. Is there anyone how can develop such an add-on?
Cheers,
Steve

IPhone Push Notifications issues

My iPhone 4S OS 5.0.1 wouldn't receive push notifications even when I've received SMSes.
For example, when someone sends me a SMS / WhatsApp message, my iPhone doesn't give off any vibration or notifications saying there's a message incoming.
(Only discover the incomin message after seeing the (1) icon in Messages)
Note: my device was switched on..
It's running on iOS 5.0.1
Hopefully I can receive some help which could resolve my issues!
Thanks! :)

you'll need to contact the whatsapp developer if your having issue with notification, since you are using a 3rd party app for messaging and not the default message app.

How do I send a raw (push) notification from the server side using an Azure mobile service?

Hi there!
Currently I'm able to send toast notifications to my user from my Azure mobile service using the following line of code in one of my server side scripts:
push.wns.send(opponent_id, payload, 'wns/toast', {
success: function(pushResponse) {
console.log("Sent push:", pushResponse);
request.respond(statusCodes.OK, {});
error: function(pushResponse) {
console.log("Error Sending push:", pushResponse);
request.respond(500, { error: pushResponse });
But I would like to send a raw notification to my user now, not a toast notification. I've set up a background tasks which runs as soon as a raw notification arrives(I've tested this through the diagnose option of my mobileservicehub and it works).
I want to send a raw notification now from the server side and I'm kind off lost on how to do that. I've looked for it but can't seem to find an answer to that question, I might be looking for the wrong stuff though.
I'm looking for a solution that looks the same as the one for a toast notification(as demonstrated in the code above).
Your help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Jan

I found the solution to this it was in fact really really easy, I should have read the documentation more properly since it clearly said that the payload for raw notifications could be literally anything but the client has to take care of it.
So I figured that out!

Isanyone else having issues with Push Notifications?

I am having the issues push notifications with MLB at the Bat 2010, ESPN Worldcup app, ESPN Sportcenter App, Sportsatcular. No push notification for any of these apps what so ever. I get push notifications for text messages and exchange calendar events, but not much else. I have every setting for the phone and these apps set to send notifications and I am not getting any notifications on my new iphone e4. These all use to work on my old 3g.

I was able to resolve all of my push notification issues by uninstalling and reinstalling all of the effected apps from my iphone. This tip came from the excellent support folks over at ESPN

Can I send email invitations to local users instead of push notifications?

I see in the documentation that "Attendees can be invited to events via email if they don’t have an iCal Server account." Is there a way to send email invitations to local users instead of push notifications? The server would be migrating from Exchange and everyone is accustomed to/wants email invitations for calendar events.
I've already purchased a copy of Lion Server (10.7.4) and pretty much everything is setup. Sadly I'm just now running into this issue. Email invitations to non iCal server accounts work fine.
Thanks for the help.

Hi gracem0324,
Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, and click on your Apple ID and sign out of Messages. Then sign on again. Sometimes it needs to reset itself....
Cheers,

Progression to Lion Server ?

We are looking to upgrade our Server from 10.6 to Lion Server and have a few questions that we cannot find answers to. Was hoping someone here might be able to help.
A. After initial download/install and connection to Apple for Profile Manager Push Certification, does Lion Server require to be connected to the internet?
B. Does Lion Server work with OS X 10.5, 10.6 clients? (everything I find mentions 10.7 clients but not earlier)
C. Has anyone had any issues with Lion Server and the internal RAID of a intel XServe [Xeon circa 2006/2007]?
Any answers would be helpful, thanks.

Its not as missing as not working as expected.
Ill try make som examples...
I cannot connect with VNC anymore because something with the protocoll changed. May be a bad setting hopefully.
MYSQL was scrapped and replaced.
Webserver: Odd stuff going on here... Cannot remove default site, I cannot understand how to create a reverse proxy site, I dont understand how to allow a subsite to show files directly without a start page, I dont understand how to set a start page (if you for example got index.php and index.htm or index.html - which one is default?
Wiki stuff got corrupted on SLS upgrade - works fine on raw install. Not that I use this anyways...
In general - every module got about 3 settings now (yes I exaggerate a bit now) compare to lots of settings in SLS.
You can probably edit apache files directly but I dont want to do that. I want my cookie cutter gui to give me the easy to use life I had with SLS

Lack of Push Notifications since OTA

Ever since I took the OTA Firmware update last week, I have had issues with a lack of push notifications on my Incredible 2. Gmail, work email, Facebook, InstaGram, Twitter and more all require a manual "refresh" for me to get my emails and more.
I also have this battery charging issue that appears to be widespread on the boards here, but that is another matter.
Anyone else experiencing this push notification issue since the OTA?

FWIW - The Background Data option under "Accounts & Sync" in Settings was disabled by the OTA. Not only was my Exchange disabled, but I had to re-enter my Gmail address. Once enabled and re-entered, I seem to have re-enabled my push notifications.
Now about this battery charging issue....
