Verifying the Diameter Enabler base installation (Standalone)

Once the Diameter Enabler base is installed into the plugins directory, you should verify the installation.

Before you begin

Before you can verify the installation, you must have completed the installation process.

About this task
Complete the following steps to verify the installation of the Diameter Enabler base:
  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 Servers > Application servers.
  3. Click server_name.
  4. Under Communications, click Ports.
  5. Verify the end point is properly configured:
    1. Verify the DiameterNamedEndPoint appears in the list and has the following values:
      • Host: * or host_name
      • Port: 3868 (This is the port number you defined for the Diameter inbound channel.)
  6. Verify the DiameterChain is properly configured:
    1. Click View associated transports on the DiameterNamedEndPoint row.
    2. Verify DiameterChain appears in the list and has the following values:
      • Enabled: Enabled
      • Host: * or host_name
      • Port: 3868 (This is the port number you defined for the Diameter inbound channel.)
      • SSL Enabled: Disabled
  7. Verify the SecureDiameterChain appears in the list and is properly configured with the following values:
    • Enabled: Enabled
    • Host: * or host_name
    • Port: 3868 (This is the port number you defined for the Diameter inbound channel.)
    • SSL Enabled: Enabled
  8. Verify the DiameterChain channel is properly configured:
    1. Click DiameterChain.
    2. Verify the following information is correct in the Transport Channels section:
      • TCP inbound channel (DiameterTCPInboundChannel)
        • Host: * or server_name
        • Port: 3868 (This is the port number you defined for the Diameter inbound channel.)
        • Thread pool: DiameterThreadPool
      • Generic inbound channel (DiameterGenericInboundChannel)
    3. Click Generic inbound channel (DiameterGenericInboundChannel).
    4. Verify the following values are correct:
      • Transport Channel Name: DiameterGenericInboundChannel
      • Discrimination weight: 10
      • JAR file: com.ibm.ws.diameter_6.2.0.jar
      • Channel type identifier: DiameterInboundChannel
      • Configuration URI should be empty.
    5. Click Cancel on the DiameterChain panel, and click Cancel to return to the Transport chain panel.
  9. Verify the SecureDiameterChain channel is properly configured:
    1. Click SecureDiameterChain.
    2. Verify the following information is correct in the Transport Channels section:
      • TCP inbound channel (DiameterTCPInboundChannel)
        • Host: * or server_name
        • Port: 3868 (This is the port number you defined for the Diameter inbound channel.)
        • Thread pool: DiameterThreadPool
      • SSL inbound channel (DiameterSSLInboundChannel)
        • SSL Configuration: Diameter
      • Generic inbound channel (SecureDiameterGenericInboundChannel)
    3. Click Generic inbound channel (SecureDiameterGenericInboundChannel).
    4. Verify the following values are correct:
      • Transport Channel Name: SecureDiameterGenericInboundChannel
      • Discrimination weight: 1
      • JAR file: com.ibm.ws.diameter_6.2.0.jar
      • Channel type identifier: DiameterInboundChannel
      • Configuration URI should be empty.
    5. Click Cancel on the SecureDiameterChain panel, and click Cancel to return to the Transport chain panel.
  10. Verify the SSL configuration object has been created and configured properly:
    1. In the navigation pane, click Security > SSL certificate and key management > SSL configurations.
    2. Click Diameter in the list of SSL configurations.
    3. Under Additional Properties, click Quality of protection (QoP) settings.
    4. Verify the following values are correct:
      • Client authentication: Required
