Configuring IBM HTTP Web Server with WebSphere

Install the web server, if not already present. You can configure IBM HTTP server for WebSphere Application Server.

Procedure
1. Copy the plug-in file (plugin-cfg.xml) to any location on the computer where the web server is installed and specify its path in thehttpd.conf file with an entry:<WebSpherePluginConfig /path/plugin-cfg.xml. You need read write permissions to modify this configuration file.
2. Configure access for the web server to the plugin library specified by LoadModule ibm_app_server_http_module.
   For details about configuring web servers, see the WebSphere Information Center online documentation.

   Note: If for security reasons, you need to prevent server information (such as, Web Server and Application Server versions) from being transmitted in the header file, perform the following steps:

   1. Edit the httpd.conf file in the Web Server conf directory. For example,

      In the /opt/IBMHttpServer/conf/httpd.conf file add the following line:

      ServerTokens Prod

   2. Restart the web server and application server.
