Question

i’m trying to implement push notification in my application, for this i tried to use easyApns, i follow the steps, and implement the classes on my linux based. but unfortunately i stil betting some errors related to certificates.

my error is:

Warning: stream_socket_client() [function.stream-socket-client]: SSL
operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages:
error:14094416:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert certificate
unknown in /var/www/html/apns/classes/class_APNS.php on line 401

APNS::_triggerError -> File: class_APNS.php (line 405) in
/var/www/html/apns/classes/class_APNS.php on line 509

i gusse it’s an error related to the certificate (the .pem file)

my .pem file wa generated using the following command

openssl pkcs12 -in apns-dev-cert.p12 -out apns-dev-cert.pem -nodes -clcerts

and it was placed on the server (linux based) and given chmod 644 privileges

should i do any thing else…..

Answer 1

Are you able to connect to apns using your certificate? try following command to check that:

$ openssl s_client -connect gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195 -cert YourSSLCertAndPrivateKey.pem -debug -showcerts -CAfile server-ca-cert.pem

If the command terminates, you are not able to connect. If it continues running and lets you type into the socket, you have connected successfully.
