Configure Push Notifications for Mobile
Enable notifications to be sent to mobile users about Connections events.
Important: The following ports must be open on each node in the cluster where the Mobile application is installed:
- Android
- Port 443 (HTTPS only)
- iOS
- Ports 2195 and 2196
The Push Notifications service sends information from the Connections server to a user's mobile device when the following events occur:
- The user is invited to join a community.
- The user is invited to join a person's network.
- A task is assigned to the user.
To enable and configure Push Notifications:
- Check out mobile-config.xml for editing. For more information about checking out the file, see the Change Mobile configuration property values topic.
- Open mobile-config.xml in a text editor.
- To enable Push Notifications, specify true for the Push enabled property.
- Specify values for the remaining Push Notifications properties, based on the requirements of the organization. See section about Push Notifications properties in the Mobile configuration properties topic.
- Save and check in mobile-config.xml.
What to do next
If the deployment uses IBM Tivoli Access Manager, add the /mobileAdmin context root to the WebSEAL junction. The Push Notifications log on the Connections server uses mobile administration support for registering devices, and therefore the mobile administration API must be accessible to devices through the WebSEAL junction. The default setting for the context root is /mobileAdmin.
