Administering web server plug-ins

Using the same HTTP server to handle HTTP and HTTPS requests for multiple cells
In a multiple cell environment you might want to use the same HTTP server to send and receive HTTP and HTTPS requests for multiple cells. To accomplish this setup, you must merge the web server plug-in configuration files that are being used by the application servers in those cells into a single web server plug-in configuration file.
