Follow the instructions below to generate the MDM Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) certificate:

Info

The MDM APNS certificate will be referred to as the MDM certificate in the EMM Console.

  1. Create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) file (e.g., customer.csr)  from the EMM server using your private key. Keep your private key and CSR file in a safe location for further reference.

    Code Block
    openssl genrsa -des3 -out customerPrivateKey.pem 2048
    openssl req -new -key customerPrivateKey.pem -out customer.csr

    After the above command is executed, you will be prompted to enter some information. Make sure to fill in all the information as it will be incorporated into the CSR with your organization’s official details. The compulsory fields have been described as follows:

    Warning

    If the compulsory information is not provided, the CSRs will be rejected in the signing process.
