Chapter 9 Push Notication Server 189
Starting and Stopping Push Notication
When you start push notication on a server, the service broadcasts its availability on
the local network to other services that support it. This means that when a dierent
server turns on a service that supports push notication, the push notication server
address populates the settings of the pushing service.
You must still enable Push Notication support for the pushing service before it works.
Additionally, you can choose to encrypt the data passed between the client and the
push server by choosing an SSL certicate. This does not encrypt the data between the
client and the pushing service. To encrypt transport between the pushing service and
the client, enable SSL with the pushing service.
To enable Push Notication:
1 Use Server Admin to connect to the server.
2 Enable administration of Push Notication.
This only needs to be done the rst time you use Server Admin to administer the
server.
For more information about adding a service to the administered services list, see
“Adding and Removing Services in Server Admin” on page 146.
3 From the list of administered services for the desired server, select Push Notication.
4 Click the “Start Push Notication” or “Stop Push Notication” as needed.
From the command line:
# setting Server Admin administration of push notification
sudo serveradmin settings info:serviceConfig:services:com.apple.
ServerAdmin.Notification:configured = yes
# on the notification server
sudo serveradmin start notification
