Renewing the Push Certificate

Jamf support can help you with this. It's asking if your JSS Server can talk to the Internet. Don't download the ABM cert prior; do it when the JSS steps ask you to.

@mvu Thank you that is what I thought. I just want to make sure I get this done right the first time.

One thing to make sure of now is that you have the AppleID  and the password that was used to create the current APNS certificate. You will need to login in to the Apple APNS site with the same ID and use the Renew function. If you try and use a different AppleID and create a new certificate, then your communication to your devices will break. 

If you don't have the AppleID and Password, open a case with Apple as soon as possible. They can help move the certificate from one AppleID to another. 

@Tribruin Thank you for the info. This really helps! Also Since the cert does not expire until January, do I have to wait until the day before the cert expires to update it or can I do it now?

@atomczynski11 Awesome write up! This makes the process way more understandable. 

You can do it at any time. I typically do it about a week to two weeks before the expiration date. 

I recommend three to four weeks prior to the expiration. You would not want some sort of system outage to affect you and miss the deadline.

Create a calendar item for it and put in a reminder or two so that you don't miss it. Example the day falls on a day off, etc.

Hi atomczynski,

I just updated the cert, but Jamf is still showing the old expiration date. Shouldn't that have updated to the new date, or does it take time? 

It's my understanding that it happens right away. You have selected "Save" in the bottom right of the window. Right?
