Known problems on HP-UX platforms

On HP-UX platforms, there are limitations when using LDAP with SSL to communicate with a Netscape directory server.

LDAP Secure Sockets Layer limitation with Netscape LDAP server. The LDAP client has a limitation when using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to communicate with a Netscape directory server. If the Netscape directory server has client authentication enabled, the connection fails. If the IBM HTTP Server uses SSL with LDAP to check authentication information on a Netscape Directory Server, ensure that client authentication is not enabled on the directory server.

The mod_ibm_ssl module fails to initialize on the HP-UX IA-64 platform and results in a failure to load the GSK library. The mod_ibm_ssl module fails to initialize on the HP-UX IA-64 platform. This is a failure to initialize the GSKit library. The messages that display in the error log are as follows:
/usr/lib/hpux64/dld.so: Unable to find library 'libgsk7cms_64.so'.
[Mon Mar 07 08:58:16 2005] [notice] SSL0166E: Failure attempting to load GSK library.
Configuration Failed
This is caused by an incorrect setting of SHLIB_PATH in the bin/envvars file within the IBM HTTP Server installation directory. There is a problem with the IBM HTTP Server V6.0.1 installer for HP-UX IA-64, which results in the /usr/lib path not being added to the SHLIB_PATH setting in the bin/envvars files.
Edit the bin/envvars file within the IBM HTTP Server installation directory and add /usr/lib to the SHLIB_PATH setting. Following is an example value, based on a chosen installation location of /opt/IBMIHS:
SHLIB_PATH="/opt/IBMIHS/lib:/usr/lib:$SHLIB_PATH"
