Feature Description

The HTTP/2 TLS Support for SBA Interfaces feature enables support for SMF with HTTP/2 over a TLS secure channel for all the SBA interfaces toward the other NFs, for example, PCF, AMF, and so on.

This feature supports the following functionality:
  • A CLI support to configure HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) Port on SBA interfaces.

  • SMF uses TLS version 1.2 for transport layer protection and all inbound and outbound HTTP/2 transport.

  • A CLI support to enter a TLS certificate for each SBA interface.

  • HTTP/2 over a TLS secure channel for all the SBA interfaces toward the other NFs.

    Note

    SMF also supports HTTP without TLS for backward compatibility. This is the default behaviour.

  • Server and Client HTTPS requests for SMF.

  • If there is no signed certificate available, the default behavior is to support a self-signed certificate.

    Note

    Currently, there is no support for persisting configured certificates.

  • Generate appropriate alarms when a certificate is about to expire.
