Push messaging through a proxy
IBM Traveler supports the sending of APNS and GCM message through a proxy server.
If you need to send APNS or GCM message through a proxy server in your environment, you need to
configure the set of notes.ini
settings that begin with NTS_PUSH
for the messages you want routed through the proxy. The full list can be found in Notes.ini settings. Servers that do not have
outgoing internet access allowed would be candidates for using a proxy so that the APNS or GCM
messages can be sent through a proxy server that is allowed outgoing internet access.
For each message type, you would need to set the _SERVER
and
_PORT
values. If the proxy requires authentication, then you would also need to set
_PASSWORD
and _USER
to allow IBM Traveler to authenticate with the
proxy. All settings can be configured using notes.ini
, but
_PASSWORD
and _USER
can also be configured using the offline
utilities command <link>._TYPE
. The command <link>._TYPE
currently only supports HTTP, so it should remain unchanged.
Each Apple app has its own APNS configuration, its own certificate used for signing, and its own server to send the message to, so there are many combinations of those settings for APNS. The app versions that come from the Apple App Store would all be using the non-sandbox, production settings. As a result, those are the only ones that would need to be configured.
