I have checked the firewall connections and i am able to connect to the apple push notification service. The only think i am guessing is that the certificate does not work.
The default certificate in the installed directory does it work if so any ideas what the password/passphrase maybe
Any ideas ??
Sorry for the inconvenience, this is because the APN certificate got expired for mobile access server, and you have to update the APN certificate to make it work. Unfortunately we don't provide a standalone distribution for the APN certificate, and you can try to install the Splunk add-on for mobile access, which ships with a renewed APN certificate and can be used to replace the mobile access server.
