Hi,

Here is our code to read p12 file :

final ApnsClient apnsClient = new ApnsClientBuilder().setClientCredentials(new File("/var/cert/pushcert.p12"), "passkey").build();

And we are getting following exception while reading p12 file.

java.io.IOException: toDerInputStream rejects tag type 66
    sun.security.util.DerValue.toDerInputStream(DerValue.java:847)
    sun.security.pkcs12.PKCS12KeyStore.engineLoad(PKCS12KeyStore.java:1883)
    java.security.KeyStore.load(KeyStore.java:1445)
    com.relayrides.pushy.apns.P12Util.getFirstPrivateKeyEntryFromP12InputStream(P12Util.java:40)
    com.relayrides.pushy.apns.ApnsClientBuilder.setClientCredentials(ApnsClientBuilder.java:137)
    com.relayrides.pushy.apns.ApnsClientBuilder.setClientCredentials(ApnsClientBuilder.java:111)

Please suggest us what's wrong with above code.

We are using pushy-0.8.1 version

It looks like you're trying to read a PEM file instead of a PKCS#12 file. If you open the file with a text editor, does it begin with a line that looks something like "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----"?

Right; so that's definitely a PEM file, not a PKCS#12 file. You'll need to convert that to a PKCS#12 file for Pushy to be able to read it. There's lots of good information about how to do this strewn about the internet at large, but https://www.paypal-knowledge.com/infocenter/index?page=content&widgetview=true&id=FAQ1020 should get you to where you need to be.
