Uploading an APNs Certificate

Customers enrolled in the iOS Developer Enterprise Program, who will re-sign and re-distribute the Vocera Vina application, may also want to provide their own APNs (Apple Push Notification service) certificate. To do this, the customer will upload their own push certificate to allow sending APNs messages.

In the Vocera Platform Web Console, navigate to the Vocera XMPP Adapter and view the Additional Actions options in the sidebar help section. Click the XMPP Certificate Manager link to display this Certificate Information dialog.

Select Browse and navigate to the certificate location. The selected filename will populate this field.

Select the Production Certificate checkbox if the environment is in production use. This checkbox is to distinguish between the production environment and a testing environment, which does not require as many controls. In the example below, the empty checkbox indicates a non-production environment.

Select the Next Gen checkbox when using Next Generation iOS clients. Vocera supports two versions of the APNs clients concurrently, which are authenticated by the respective push certificate. Use this checkbox to authenticate Next Generation iOS clients with a Next Generation certificate. If not checked, the legacy certificate is used for authentication.

Enter a Password to verify the certificate.

Select Upload APNs Certificate.
