Re: Kapsel Applications and Push Notification

I've made some progress but I still don't have push notification working for an iOS device yet. I resolved the error with the push notification plugin (mentioned above) by creating and installing a provisioning profile on my iPhone.

I also generated the necessary certificate on the Apple web site, exported it as .p12 certificate and imported it on the Push tab for the application in the management cockpit. When I send a push notification to the SMP server now I am getting back a 201 status, so that part is working fine.

But if I check the log file for the SMP server I see the following:

2015 02 28 12:16:52#0-700#WARN#com.sap.mobile.platform.server.foundation.security.filter.AuthenticationFilter##anonymous#http-bio-8080-exec-8####null#null#null#warn#Security#null#null#346b5a07-c3fe-448e-abdb-44a3ecb7ef02#null#1425176212144#null#com.sap.mobile.platform.server.foundation.security.filter.AuthenticationFilter:doFilter#No CSI context found in the authentication session.

Here is the URL that I am using to send the push notification:

http://10.0.1.124:8080/restnotification/application/com.mycompany.push

And here is the payload:

{"alert":"New Vacation Approval Request", "data":"For (i826565) request (7)" }

I'm not sure if the documentation is out of date but in one section it says the following:

---

Procedure

From the cockpit, select >Applications > Push

Under Apple, select APNS endpoint. "None" is the default endpoint value for all the applications.

Note

The default URL is for a production environment; for a development and testing environment, change the URL to gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com.

(DF: There is no place to set the URL to the gateway in the management cockpit)

Select Sandbox to configure APNS in a development and testing environment, or Production to configure APNS in a production environment.

Click Browse to navigate to the certificate file.

Select the file, and click Open.

Enter a valid password.

----.

So I don't know if the problem is that the request is attempting to go to the production APNS URL instead of the sandbox URL (I generated a sandbox certificate), or if the problem is caused by the server thinking that the payload is not a json object.

Thanks,
Dave
