About this task
The following topics describe specific tasks for you to
secure IBM HTTP Server.
Procedure
Securing with SSL communications. For secure communication, you can
set up the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) directives in the default httpd.conf configuration
file.
Setting advanced SSL options. More advanced SSL options to secure
your IBM HTTP Server are also available. Advanced SSL options include:
setting the level and type of client authentication, setting cipher
specifications, defining SSL for multiple-IP virtual hosts, and configuring
reverse proxy setup with SSL.
Managing keys with the IKEYMAN graphical interface (Distributed systems). You can set
up the Key Management utility (IKEYMAN) with IBM HTTP Server to create
key databases, public and private key pairs and certificate requests.
Use the IKEYMAN graphical user interface rather than using the command
line interface.
