a.
Sign onto the Apple Push Certificate Portal by entering your organization's Apple ID and password in the fields provided. You can also sign onto the portal by navigating to https://identity.apple.com/pushcert/.
If your organization does not have an Apple ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and create one. This can be any Apple ID, and does not have to be associated with an Apple Developer account. However, it is recommended that you create a new Apple ID for your organization that can be used to manage your Apple Push Notification certificates. For best practice, the ID should be corporate-owned to avoid renewal issues in case your administrator leaves the company.
