Adding a SOCKS Proxy or Load Balancer for APNS Connections

If you have a network-based proxy server between SAP Mobile Platform and your Internet connection to Apple Push Notification Service (APNS), you can enable a path through network obstacles to the APNS servers by using either a SOCKS proxy in the network proxy server, or a hardware load balancer in the DMZ.

• Enabling a SOCKS Proxy in a Network Proxy Server
  Specify the proxy server and port number in the SAP Mobile Platform Server props.ini file.
• Adding a Load Balancer in the DMZ
  If the DMZ load balancer meets the prerequisite requirement and the firewalls are configured properly, enable the load balancer to support APNS by adding entries in the SAP Mobile Platform Server's host file.
