Before you begin
IBM HTTP Server supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Version 2 and Version 3 and Transport Layer Security (TLS) Version 1. IBM HTTP Server is based on the Apache Web server, but for SSL configuration it requires the IBM-supplied SSL modules, rather than the OpenSSL modules. This document describes configuration of IBM HTTP Server, although it is possible to use another supported Web server.SSL is disabled by default and it is necessary to modify a configuration file and generate a server-side certificate using the key management utility (iKeyman) provided with IBM HTTP Server to enable SSL.
