Install IBM HTTP Server V7.0 using SMP/E and then run
an installation script to create a configuration in the installation
directory:
Attention: IBM HTTP
Server V7.0 is different from the HTTP Server for z/OS.
The information contained within the IBM HTTP
Server product documentation pertains to IBM HTTP
Server V7.0, not the HTTP Server for z/OS.
- The product code for the IBM HTTP Server is installed into
a read-only file system by SMP/E.
- After you install the product code, choose an installation directory
for each IBM HTTP Server instance that you want to run
under z/OS. Each server instance requires its own
installation directory.
- You can use an install script provided with IBM HTTP
Server to: Copy files into this directory, perform initial customization,
and create symbolic links to the product code directory.
You can use the Web server jobname or other identifier in the installation
directory name. For example:
/opt/wwww/webserver1
/var/webservers/AAST1
In the instruction examples in the following topic for installing IBM HTTP
Server, an installation directory of /etc/websrv1 is
used.

Migrating the mod_auth_saf module directives to use
the mod_authnz_saf module directives.
Use the mod_authnz_saf
directive for your SAF configuration instead of the mod_auth_saf directive.
In addition, SAF password authentication is now enabled by specifying
the SAF basic authentication provider directive.
AuthBasicProvider saf
Also,
the SAFRequire and AuthSAF directives are not supported in this release
of IBM HTTP Server. For information about SAF directives,
see the information center topic about SAF directives.
Migrating from mod_auth_ldap to mod_authnz_ldap
The
mod_auth_ldap directive in IBM HTTP Server Version 6.1 has
been renamed to mod_authnz_ldap, and has undergone several changes,
such as:
- AuthBasicProvider ldap is now mandatory to have LDAP handle authentication.
- AuthZLDAPAuthoritative replaces AuthLDAPAuthoritative for configuration,
if other types of authorization are permissible.
- Require directives have been updated to be uniquely identified
as being LDAP related, for example, Require ldap-user and Require
ldap-group.
For further information, see the mod_authnz_ldap documentation.
