This topic describes installing a maintenance package for a Web server plug-in for WebSphere Application Server. WebSphere Application Server products supply a unique binary plug-in module for each supported Web server, which might require service updates that are included in a maintenance package. The plug-in configuration file that the WebSphere Application Server products supply is associated with the binary module and might also require maintenance. The Update Installer wizard installs any maintenance packages that you download from the Support site.
You can install a maintenance package for a Web server plug-in by following the procedures described in this topic.
After installing maintenance packages, test the applications that the Web server provides to verify that the Web server is functioning correctly.
