Configuring Diameter Enabler base

Diameter Enabler base is configured with a unique identity during the installation process. However, changes in the network may require updates to the configuration.

Before you begin

If Diameter Enabler is moved to a different server, the configuration should be updated. Also if a proxy server is added to or removed from the network, the configuration may need to be updated.

About this task
The unique identity of Diameter Enabler is defined using the OriginHostName, OriginRealmName, and HostIpAddress properties in the Diameter_Rf.properties, Diameter_Ro.properties, and Diameter_Sh.properties files.
Note: In case of a clustered installation, repeat these steps for each node in the cluster.
  1. Open the Diameter_Rf.properties in a text editor. This file is located in the following directory:
    • AIXLinuxSolaris was_profile_root/properties
    Note: was_profile_root is the directory for a WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment profile called profile_name. By default, this directory is:
    • AIX /usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/profile_name
    • Linux /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/profile_name
    • Solaris /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/profile_name

    For example, AppSrv01 in a standalone environment, or Custom01 as the name of a federated node profile in a clustered environment.

  2. Find the OriginHostName property. Type the host name to match the host name of the application server where Diameter Enabler base is installed. The OriginHostName must be unique between a Diameter node and all of its peers. Typically, the fully qualified domain name of WebSphere Application Server where Diameter Enabler is installed can be used. However, if you are using vertical clustering, then you must alter this name for each server on that cluster. This value does not have to be identical to the fully qualified domain name of WebSphere Application Server.
  3. Find the OriginRealmName property. Type the realm name to match the realm of the application server where Diameter Enabler base is installed.
  4. Find the HostIpAddress property. Type the IP address where the Diameter Enabler base is installed. If Diameter Enabler base is installed on a multi-homed machine, the HostIpAddress should be one of the network interfaces that is present on WebSphere Application Server.
  5. Find the ProxySupport property.
    • Type true to enable proxy support
    • Type false to turn off proxy support.
    The default value is true. If you are not using proxy servers in your environment, set the value to false. Because the proxy support settings are independent for each Web service, you can enable proxy support for one or more of the Web services.
  6. Save the file and close it.
  7. Open the Diameter_Ro.properties in a text editor. The file is located in the following directory:
    • AIXLinuxSolaris was_profile_root/properties
  8. Repeat steps 2 through 6.
  9. Open the Diameter_Sh.properties in a text editor. The file is located in the following directory:
    • AIXLinuxSolaris was_profile_root/properties
  10. Repeat steps 2 through 6.
  11. Restart the Rf, Ro, and Sh applications to make the configuration changes take affect.
    1. Log in to the Integrated Solutions Console.
    2. Navigate to the Enterprise applications page. Click Applications > Enterprise applications in the console navigation tree.
    3. Select the check box for the DHADiameterRfWebServiceEAR, the DHADiameterRoWebServiceEAR, and the DHADiameterShWebServiceEAR applications.
    4. Click Stop.
    5. Click Start to restart the application.
