Setting up the IPP server

You can administer and configure the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) server using the IBM® IPP Server Administrator for iSeries, a browser-driven graphical user interface.

Before using the interface, verify that the IBM HTTP Server for iSeries is installed on your system. For upgrade to Transport Layer Security (TLS), or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) support, you must also install the Digital Certificate Manager and a Cryptographic Access Provider licensed program.

After the configurations previously mentioned are completed, you can manage the IPP server from the IBM IPP Server Administrator interface.

You can use a special configuration file to initialize the IPP server. The file is named QIBM/UserData/OS400/Ipp/conf/qippsvr-cust.conf. Do not manually edit this file. The configuration file is changed through the IBM IPP Server Administrator browser interface.
