Mapping applications to IBM HTTP Server on IBM i

Map IBM Connections applications to IBM HTTP Server.

Before you begin

Be sure you defined IBM HTTP server as described in Defining IBM HTTP Server on IBM i.

About this task

To map your IBM Connections applications to IBM HTTP Server and generate the plug-in, complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Copy the configureIHS_myHttpProfile from the http profile to the dmgr /bin directory of the Connections' cell. For example, the source directory is: /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/<VERSION>/ND/profiles/myHttpProfile/config/IHS_myHttpProfile/. And the target directory is: /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/<VERSION>/ND/profiles/dmgr/bin/
    Note: The myHttpProfile variable is the name of the http profile created in step 3 in Defining IBM HTTP Server on IBM i.
  2. Make sure the dmgr server is running and restart the dmgr if needed to perform the next step.
  3. Run the copied script in step 1 from QSH, for example:
    1. From an IBM i command line, run QSH as follows: 
      cd /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/<VERSION>/ND/profiles/dmgr/bin/
configureIHS_myHttpProfile
    2. To finish the command, enter the Username and password of the dmgr.
  4. Synchronize all the nodes, from WebSphere Application Server Integrated Solutions console on the system where you installed the Deployment Manager.
  5. On the ISC, select Servers > Server Types > Web servers and then select the check box before IHS_myHttpProfile.
  6. Click Generate Plug-in and then Propagate Plug-in to generate and propagate the plug-in file to the web server.
  7. Click IHS_myHttpProfile > Plug-in properties > Copy to Web server key store directory.
  8. From the Servers > Server Types > Web servers > IHS_myHttpProfile > Remote Web server management, enter a User profile and password of the IBM i LPAR where HTTP Server is configured, and then click Apply and Save.
  9. Restart IBM HTTP Server from http://<system_hostname>:2001/HTTPAdmin or run 
    ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(myHttpProfile)
STRTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(myHttpProfile)
  10. Restart all IBM Connection clusters and the Deployment Manager.
