Chapter 7. Setting up Push Proxy Gateway
variables are elaborated in table 7.2.
As an example, let us see how to configure a ppg user (a pi, named here ’picom’) allowed to send pushes
only from a specified ip.
group = wap-push-user
wap-push-user = picom
ppg-username = foo
ppg-password = bar
allow-ip = 62.254.217.163
It goes without saying that in real systems you must use more complex passwords than bar.
