IBM HTTP Server

IBM HTTP Server is based on the Apache HTTP Server (httpd.apache.org), developed by the Apache Software Foundation.

IBM HTTP Server can be remotely administered and configured using the WebSphere administrative console:

• Support for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connections.
• Fast Response Cache Accelerator (FRCA) is available for AIX 5.x and certain Windows operating systems. It significantly improves HTTP Server performance when serving static content such as HTML files or image files.
• Dynamic content generation with FastCGI.
• Administration Server helps to administer and configure IHS servers.
• Web server-based Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authentication protection through an LDAP module.
• IBM HTTP Server runs on AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, Windows and z/OS
