[MacTUG] Renewing Apple certificates

[Donald Duff-McCracken]

This may be of use to anyone who is battling with renewing certificates on Mac Server.

In hindsight it seems reasonable but I missed it.

I renewed my certificates but I was still getting email messages that my apple push notification service cert was gonna expire soon.

I assumed it I went to the “Certificates” section (in the Server App window on the left column under ‘Services’) and ensured all my certificates being used were up to date, that this would be sufficient. However this does not include the certificate used for “Apple Push Notifications” In the main window of the server app, if you click on the server name there are three horizontal tabs. If you click on the Settings tab and if you have enabled apple push notifications you will see and Edit button. If you click on this you can renew this Cert.

This is explained towards the bottom of this thread:

https://discussions.apple.com/message/20560014#20560014#20560014

You can also go to https://identity.apple.com/pushcert/ and check on what certs you have used. I have a bunch of soon to expire ones there but I am not going to delete them yet as I want to see if they will clear out when they expire.

Some people in this thread say that renewing the cert is not enough, but I will let this chug through the system for a bit and see if the notifications stop.
