Refactor Manage Push Certificates

Issue #326 closed

build 20063

On the MDM window it could be good to consolidate the Export and Import buttons from the popover for Manage Push Certificates. Instead these could be a single item that would open a sheet with buttons to export the unsigned push notification request, and then below a control to import the push certificate file. Instructions could also be shown on this sheet describing how the user will need to go to Profile and then to the Apple page to process the files generated.

Also it would be good to eliminate exposing the private key file to the user. Currently the private key file is saved to a location when the unsigned PNR file is exported. It would be better to instead save the private key to a different location only used for internal reference. Then the user would only receive one file to be uploaded to Profile. When the Push Certificate is later imported MDS could reference the private key at the location it saved it that was not exposed to the user.

    Add to end of top paragraph: "after purchasing an MDS support plan from twocanoes.com/mds.".

    Change Save As name for unsigned CSR to be "unsigned_CSR_upload_to_twocanoes.pem". Change this in explanation text in section 2 as well.
