Creating an authentication alias

Use an authentication alias to define authentication data used to access the database. The authentication alias is created using the Integrated Solutions Console.

Before you begin
Before you begin, the following software should be installed:
  • WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment, version 7.0.0.7
  • One of the following supported databases:
    • IBM® DB2® Enterprise Server Edition, version 9.5.0.4 or 9.7.0.1
    • Oracle Database, version 11.1.0.7 or 11.2.0.1
  • JDBC JAR file or full database client for communicating with the database server
  • Diameter Enabler base
Before you begin, the following steps should be completed:
  • Started the application server
  • Created the database
About this task

Complete the following steps to create an authentication alias for the Diameter database:

  1. Log in to the Integrated Solutions Console:
    1. Open a browser and navigate to the following URL: https://host_name:port/ibm/console.
      Where:
      • host_name is the fully qualified host name of the server where the application or the network deployment manager is deployed.
      • port is the secured port used to access the console. The default port is 9043.
      Note: The default unsecured port is 9060. If you use 9060, you must have "http" instead of "https" in the URL.
    2. Enter an administrator user ID and password. (Omit the password if security is not enabled.)
    3. Click Log in.
  2. Click Security > Global security to display the Global security window.
    Note: If you are using WebSphere Application Server version 6.1.0.x, reach this window by clicking Security > Secure administration, applications, and infrastructure.
  3. Expand Java Authentication and Authorization Service, and click J2C authentication data.
  4. Click New.
  5. In the Alias field, type diameter_alias. Note of the name of the alias; you will need it later.
  6. In the User ID field, type the database administrator user ID that can be used to access the Diameter database. This is the same user ID used in the Preparing the database topics.
  7. In the Password field, type the password that corresponds to the user ID.
  8. Optional: In the Description field, type a description for the alias.
  9. Click OK.
  10. Click Save to save changes to the master configuration.
