Steps for setting up the IBM HTTP Server - Powered by Apache for PKI Services

Before you begin:

  1. You need web server programming skills to complete this procedure.
  2. Start of changeYou might need to refer to the documentation for the IBM® HTTP Server - Powered by Apache which available at WebSphere Application Server Library.End of change

Procedure

Start of changePerform the following steps to install and configure the IBM HTTP Server - Powered by Apache to work with PKI Services:End of change

  1. Use the following table to decide what you need to do:
    Start of change
    If … Then … Notes
    The IBM HTTP Server - Powered by Apache is not installed and configured … Install and configure IBM HTTP Server - Powered by Apache by following the instructions in the installation section of IBM HTTP Server - Powered by Apache documentation.. Guideline: For PKI Services, when you install the IBM HTTP Server - Powered by Apache, do not use a password file.
    The IBM HTTP Server - Powered by Apache is installed but not configured for SSL … Fill in the missing values in the table in the next step. (The RACF® programmer needs information for setting up PKI Services; see Running IKYSETUP to perform RACF administration.) —
    The IBM HTTP Server - Powered by Apache is installed and configured for SSL using a RACF key ring … Fill in the missing values in the table in the next step. (The RACF programmer needs information for setting up PKI Services; see Running IKYSETUP to perform RACF administration.) —
    The IBM HTTP Server - Powered by Apache is installed and configured for SSL using gskkyman … Fill in the missing values in the table in the next step. (The RACF programmer needs information for setting up PKI Services; see Running IKYSETUP to perform RACF administration. The RACF programmer also needs to add your CA certificate to an existing keyfile; see Using a gskkyman key database for information about gskkyman steps.) —
    End of change

    You can now perform the steps for the decision you have made.

    Table 1. IBM HTTP Server - Powered by Apache information you need to record
    Start of change IBM HTTP Server - Powered by Apache information End of change Start of changeExplanationEnd of change Start of changeValueEnd of change
    Start of changeIBM HTTP Server - Powered by Apache fully qualified domain nameEnd of change Start of changeA fully qualified domain name is the name of a host system. It includes a series of subnames (each of which is a domain name). For example, ralvm7.vnet.ibm.com is a fully qualified domain name that includes the domain names ibm.com and vnet.ibm.com. (The RACF administrator needs to know the fully qualified domain name when setting up PKI Services.)End of change Start of change End of change
    The full UNIX path name of your httpd.conf and vhostport_number configuration files (The web server programmer needs to know the full UNIX path name when updating the httpd.conf and vhost.conf configuration files to support PKI Services.)
