– HTTP Enabled for this Protocol: Un-check this attribute for Diameter channels.
– Outbound Enabled: Select this attribute to ensure that the node can initiate Diameter
messages using the channel.
11. Click Next to continue.
12. For “diameters” channels, select the following two attributes:
– Two Way SSL Enabled: Two-way SSL is required for TLS transport.
– Client Certificate Enforced: Select this attribute to honor available client certificates
for secure communication.
13. Click Finish to create the new channel.
14. Select the name of the newly-created channel in the Network Channel table.
15. Display the advanced configuration items for the newly-created channel by clicking the
Advanced link.
16. Change the Idle Connection Timeout value from the default (65 seconds) to a larger value
that will ensure the Diameter connection remains consistently available.
Note: If you do not change the default value, the Diameter connection will be dropped and
recreated every 65 seconds with idle traffic.
17. Click Save.
18. Click Activate Changes.
The servers installed with the Diameter domain template include network channel configurations
for Diameter over TCP transport. Note that the relays server includes only a diameter channel and
not a sip or sips channel. Relay agents should not host SIP Servlets or other applications, therefore
no SIP transports should be configured on relay server nodes.
Configuring Two-Way SSL for Diameter TLS Channels
Diameter channels that use TLS (diameters channels) require that you also enable two-way SSL,
which is disabled by default. Follow these steps to enable two-way SSL for a server. If you have
not already configured SSL, see Configuring SSL in the WebLogic Server 9.2 Documentation for
instructions.
