In the HCL Support Knowledge Base, you will find an article that describes how to update the certificate. Link to the article.
HCL Sametime uses APNs (Apple Push Notification service) to support OS level notifications to the HCL Sametime iOS application when the user has unread chat messages.
Sametime uses a provider certificate (hcl-apns-prod.pkcs12) to establish a secure connection between the Sametime server and the Apple Push Notification service. The Sametime server installation package installs a certificate valid for up to approximately one year from release.
