I've followed the instructions at How to build an Apple Push Notification provider server (tutorial) in an attempt to set up a push notification server.
When I attempt to connect with the following PHP code
// connect to apns server
$strAPNSUrl = 'ssl://gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195;
$strAPNSCert = 'dev.pem';
// generate stream
$oStreamContext = stream_context_create();
stream_context_set_option($oStreamContext, 'ssl', 'local_cert', $strAPNSCert);
// create the socket connection
$oAPNS = stream_socket_client($strAPNSUrl, $iError, $strError, 2, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT, $oStreamContext);
I get the following warning
Warning: stream_socket_client() [function.stream-socket-client]: SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:14094410:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert
Based on what information I've been able to find on Google, the issue seems to be my certificate.
I'm generating my csr and pem files in OS X (pem files per the instructions in the tutorial). Once I have created dev.pem I am uploading it to my hosting provider and attempting to run my php script. Is this the correct way to create and "install" the certificate?
I've run out of debugging ideas. Any direction would be great.
