Viewing Digital Pass Certificates
You must have a pass certificate in order to generate and download passes. A Pass Certificate is a special type
of X.509 certificate issued by Apple through the Apple Developer portal. You need a Pass Certificate to
cryptographically sign the passes when they are generated and downloaded. This cryptographic signature is
verified by Passbook when adding a pass. Passbook will only accept a pass that has been signed by a valid Pass
Certificate issued by Apple.
To view the certificate that will be used to sign Apple Passbook digital passes, go to Configuration > Receipts
>Digital Pass Templates and click the View pass certificate link. If a pass certificate has been installed,
this page displays the certificate details.
