Configuring Snow Leopard Mail & iCal Push Notification Server
Hi Snow Leopard/Mail/iCal/Push Notification Experts (& Tim 😉 )
I recently had a problem with iChat proxy65 configuration and the highlighted an issue with my Push Notification setup (see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2777129&tstart=0 )
In trying to fix this I am now unable to re-establish my Push Notifications servers...
Here is my network topology:
<Mail/iCal Server> <-> <NAT/Router> <-> <iChat/Push Notification> <-> <Internet>
Based on reading this developer note ( http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#technotes/tn2010/tn2265.html), I configured by NAT/Router to forward TCP ports: 5223 & 2196 back to the <Mail/iCal Server> .
Having removed my Push Notification Server entries from my <Mail/iCal Server> which is behind the NAT, I have then tried to re-add these via "Server Admin".
On re-adding the mail Push Notification Server, I choice to server which is on the other side of the NAT/Router (<iChat/Push Notification> in topology diagram.
However rather then now having <Server>.<MyDomain>.com.au as the Push Notification Server it now has simply: <MyDomain>.com.au .
The result is that I now have incorrect Push Notification Server and I can no longer use Server Admin to remove it is <MyDomain>.com.au does to resolve to the Push Notification Server.
I read another post and it implied that the reason I had <MyDomain>.com.au was because I had my iChat server configured for only the <MyDomain>.com.au realm. So I added the host name into the <iChat/Push Notification> Server iChat configuration, so it now also has <Server>.<MyDomain>.com.au .
I then tried to add new iCal Push Notification Server, the result was exactly the same, with this now also just having <MyDomain>.com.au as the Push Notification Server.
So now I cannot remove either of the Push Server's from the <Mail/iCal Server>
I gather I can remove these by following this note: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2987 which tells me me how to remove the invalid Push Notification Server entries from the <Mail/iCal Server> , but having removed these, how do I ensure that I can then get the correct host configured for my Push Notifications....
Does anyone have any insight into exactly what the Server Admin console is doing when you are configuring the Push Notification Server, as it might then be possible to ensure all the stars are aligned correctly before trying to reset it again...
Thank,
Zebity.
