I am trying to deploy Hyperledger Composer Business Network to IBM Blockchain Platform BaaS on IBM Cloud. I used the following steps:

  1. Create connection.json

  2. Create composer card for admin identity

  3. Import the card to composer

  4. Request certificates for an identity

When I am trying step 4, I am getting an error stating:

"Error: failed to request identity. Error trying to enroll user and return certificates. Error: Calling enrollment endpoint failed with error [Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 169.60.181.250:31011] Command failed"

I have updated the versions. And I guess the issue is due to network rules which is set in my environment. So I would request IP Range which IBM BaaS Starter and Enterprise kit consumed for Peers, Certification Authority.

Please let me know if anyone have information on IP Series.

I am guessing this is on the Starter Plan?

If so, 1) ensure that you have the latest Node version (8.10.0), and npm (5.6.0). You can check your node version with

node -v and npm with npm -v

If npm or node are earlier versions, update them.

Starter Plan is currently compatible with Composer-cli v0.18.1

2) check your composer-cli version with

composer -v

If it is not v0.18.1, then uninstall composer:

npm uninstall -g composer-cli

and install v0.18.1:

npm install -g composer-cli@0.18.1

Now, once you create your blockchain service on IBM Cloud, when you launch your service, and ensure you are in the overview tab. Click on connection profile -> download, and rename it to connection-profile.json and place it in the folder where you have your .bna file. Then, open up the connection-profile.json file you just downloaded and go all the way to the bottom where you see registrar. Under that, you will see enrollId and 'enrollSecret'. Your first command then should be using that enrollSecret from the connection-profile. Ensure you are in the same directory as your recently downloaded connection-profile.json. The first command should be:

composer card create -f ca.card -p connection-profile.json -u admin -s <enrollSecret>

after that issue this command:

composer card import -f ca.card -n ca

and lastly:

composer identity request --card ca --path ./credentials

This should solve your problem. Also, I have written a full blog of me deploying a custom .bna to Starter Plan if you have any other concerns.

  • @AtulSatyajit What is the error? Also, I believe Starter Plan has updated to use Composer-Cli 0.19.4. If you want a tutorial of how to deploy business network, I have outlined the steps in this [blog](https://hackernoon.com/deploy-a-business-network-on-free-ibm-blockchain-starter-plan-93fafb3dd997) – Horea Porutiu May 15 '18 at 21:34
  • .The error was due the network rules in which I am Working. So it will be of great help if I could get information for the IP Series Used in IBM BaaS. – Atul Satyajit May 17 '18 at 09:56
  • @AtulSatyajit Please open a ticket on IBM Cloud to get the ranges for starter Kit. IPs will not change in beta Starter plan. Not sure about enterprise plan. – Horea Porutiu May 22 '18 at 22:08
