My server runs debian lenny, and im using php5 to send push notifications to apple apns. Do i have to just like... add it somewhere, or replace the 'old' one ?

To enroll and manage Apple devices in Endpoint Management, you set up an Apple Push Notification service (APNs) certificate from Apple. The certificate enables mobile device management through the Apple Push Network.
Apple Push Notification service (APNs) is a cloud service that allows approved third-party apps installed on Apple devices to send push notifications from a remote server to users over a secure connection. For example, a newstand app might use APNs to send a text alert to an iPhone user about a breaking news story.
Download the entrust_2048_ca.cer file, and install it on the servers that communicate with Apple's notification services. No need to do renew your actual push certificates, also you should not have to change anything in your code.
The important thing is that the servers that actually communicate with Apple's notification services have the certificate installed.
If you are lucky, your push server is already in contact with a Certificate Authority root, and this will solve the issue for you automagically. However, if you should lose that connection, your notifications will be out of order unless you have a "local" version of the certificate.
