Problem(Abstract) |
It is possible to configure your Web server plug-in to
route requests to WebSphere® Application Server V4.0, V5.0, V5.1, V6.0 and
V6.1 releases. This technote provides steps on how to verify what V4.0,
V5.0, V5.1, V6.0 and V6.1 plug-in versions are installed on local or
remote Web servers, and how to determine if the installation complies with
supported configurations. |

Notes:
- The WebSphere Application Server plug-in module is
installed on the supported Web server that meets minimum software
prerequisites.
- The Web server is installed on a server that meets minimum
hardware and software prerequisites.
- The minimum Global Security Kit (GSKIT) level that is
required by the WebSphere Application Server plug-in for SSL communication
with WebSphere Application Server is installed on a Web server.
- IBM strongly recommends that you use the latest WebSphere
Application Server component cumulative plug-in fix for the corresponding
WebSphere Application Server release.
- V4.0 plug-in with V4.0 Application Server: The
plug-in must be at the same or higher level than the respective
Application Server. For example, a V4.0.6 or higher plug-in on a V4.0.6
Application Server.
- V5.0 plug-in with V4.0 Application Server: You are
entitled to support for this configuration if you purchased support for
both V4.0 and V5.0.
- V5.0 plug-in with V5.0 Application Server: The
plug-in must be at the same or higher level than the respective
Application Server. For example, a V5.0.2.3 or higher plug-in on a
V5.0.2.3 Application Server.
- V5.1 plug-in with V4.0 Application Server: You are
entitled to support for this configuration if you purchased support for
both V4.0 and V5.1.
- V5.1 plug-in with V5.0 Application Server: You are
entitled to support for this configuration if you purchased support for
V5.0 and V5.1.
- V5.1 plug-in with V5.1 Application Server: The
plug-in must be at the same or higher level than the respective
Application Server. For example, a V5.1.0.1 or higher plug-in to a
V5.1.0.1 Application Server.
- V6.0 plug-in with V4.0 Application Server: You are
entitled to support for this configuration if you purchased support for
both V6.0 and V4.0.
- V6.0 plug-in with V5.0 Application Server: You are
entitled to support for this configuration if you purchased support for
V6.0 and V5.0.
- V6.0 plug-in with V5.1 Application Server: You are
entitled to support for this configuration if you purchased support for
V6.0 and V5.1.
- V6.0 plug-in with V6.0 Application Server: The
plug-in must be at the same or higher level than the respective
Application Server. For example, a V6.0.0.1 or higher plug-in to a
V6.0.0.1 Application Server.
- V6.1 plug-in with V4.0 Application Server: You are
entitled to support for this configuration if you purchased support for
both V6.1 and V4.0.
- V6.1 plug-in with V5.0 Application Server: You are
entitled to support for this configuration if you purchased support for
V6.1 and V5.0.
- V6.1 plug-in with V5.1 Application Server: You are
entitled to support for this configuration if you purchased support for
V6.1 and V5.1.
- V6.1 plug-in with V6.0 Application Server: You are
entitled to support for this configuration if you purchased support for
V6.1 and V6.0.
- V6.1 plug-in with V6.1 Application Server: The
plug-in must be at the same or higher level than the respective
Application Server. For example, a V6.1.0.2 or higher plug-in to a
V6.1.0.2 Application Server.
- IBM strongly recommends that you run at least WebSphere
Application Server V4.0.2 or later, because the WebSphere Application
Server V4.0 component cumulative plug-in fix was built for V4.0.2 through
V4.0.7.
- IBM does not backport WebSphere Application Server
component cumulative plug-in fix for WebSphere Application Server V4.0 or
V4.0.1. All the above supported configurations assume that you run at
least WebSphere Application Server V4.0.2 or higher.
Download the latest WebSphere Application Server component cumulative
plug-in fixes from Recommended
fixes for WebSphere Application Server.
The GSKIT required by the WebSphere Application Server plug-in is used
for SSL encryption between the plug-in (Web server) and WebSphere
Application Server. It does not automatically mean that the same GSKIT
version is used for SSL encryption for the traffic between the Web server
and the client (such as a browser). These WebSphere Application
Server/GSKIT combinations are required by WebSphere Application Server
plug-ins:
WebSphere Application Server V4.0 plug-ins
GSKIT 5 is used for all Web server plug-ins with the following
exceptions:
- Solaris Operating System™
- Domino® 5 Web server plug-in uses GSKIT 4
- IPlanet/Sun One Web server plug-in uses GSKIT 4
WebSphere Application Server V5.0 plug-ins
GSKIT 5 is used for all Web server plug-ins with the following
exceptions:
- Solaris
- Domino 5 Web server plug-in uses GSKIT 4
- IPlanet/Sun One Web server plug-in uses GSKIT 4
- Linux® PPC
- IBM® HTTP Server/Apache Web server plug-in uses GSKIT 6
WebSphere Application Server V5.1 plug-ins
GSKIT 7 is used for all Web server plug-ins with the following
exceptions:
- Solaris
- Domino 5 Web server plug-in uses GSKIT 4
- IPlanet/Sun One Web server plug-in uses GSKIT 4
WebSphere Application Server V6.0 plug-ins
GSKIT 7 is used for all Web server plug-ins with the following
exceptions:
- Solaris
- IPlanet/Sun One Web server plug-in uses GSKIT 4
WebSphere Application Server V6.1 plug-ins
GSKIT 7 is used for all Web server plug-ins
The GSKIT library required by WebSphere Application Server plug-in must
be installed during WebSphere Application Server installation. If the
GSKIT library required by WebSphere Application Server plug-in is missing
on the Web server, download and install IBM HTTP Server (IBM HTTP Server),
which includes the GSKIT library.
Following are GSKIT/IBM HTTP Server combinations:
- GSKIT4 is installed with IBM HTTP Server V1.3.12
releases
- GSKIT5 is installed with IBM HTTP Server V1.3.19, V1.3.26,
V2.0.42 releases
- GSKIT7 is installed with IBM HTTP Server V1.3.28, V2.0.47,
V6.0 and V6.1 releases
