There needs to be documentation in the InfoCenter that informs
the user of the limitations and lack of support when using an
SSL enabled plug-in when they are using Apache Web Server on
Solaris, RedHat 7.1 and HP-UX.

The WebSphere Application Server Version 4.0.7 InfoCenter will
include the information about the limitations of SSL and Apache
with certain operating system environments and the details.
Problem conclusion
Close this APAR as a documentation change.

These changes will appear in the 4.0.7 InfoCenter which is
available to customers in mid October 2003.
