<h1 class="topictitle1">Interaction with HTTP Server for <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span></h1>
<div><p>IBM<sup>®</sup> Welcome
Page V1.1 requires the following production level HTTP server: IBM HTTP Server
for <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> (powered by Apache
2.0, 5722-DG1).</p>
<p>IBM Welcome
Page V1.1 provides the ability to set up and manage the configuration needed
for an Apache 2.0 HTTP server in support of itself, as well as the IBM Telephone
Directory V5.2 application. The application sets up a separate configuration
file that contains the required directives for an Apache 2.0 HTTP server.
Once complete, the Apache 2.0 HTTP server must be reconfigured to include
the additional directives.</p>
<p>The location of the Apache 2.0 configuration file varies depending on the
name of your WebSphere<sup>®</sup> Application
Server and what edition is used. The following is an example of the location
of the configuration files set up by the IBM Welcome Page V1.1 application when it
is deployed:</p>
<pre>/QIBM/UserData/WebASE/ASE5/<em>yourserver</em>/ibs/<em>yourserver</em>/apache20.inc</pre>
<p>where <em>yourserver</em> is the name of your WebSphere Application Server - Express
for <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> V5 server. Once
the IBM Welcome
Page V1.1 application creates the Apache 2.0 configuration file listed above,
the HTTP server must be reconfigured to include the new directives. The following
is an example of the directives that are required:</p>
<ol><li>LoadModule ibm_ldap_module /QSYS.LIB/QHTTPSVR.LIB/QZSRVLDAP.SRVPGM</li>
<li>Include /QIBM/UserData/WebASE/ASE5/ <em>yourserver</em>/ibs/ <em>yourserver</em>/apache20.inc <p>where <em>yourserver</em> is
the name of your WebSphere Application Server - Express for <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> V5 server.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>The server must be configured to allow the application to benefit from
additional functionality provided by the HTTP server.</p>
<p>Once the configuration is set up and the HTTP server is restarted, the
plugin module for LDAP is used to authenticate users that route requests to
the IBM Telephone
Directory V5.2 application. These include requests to create, update, and
delete entries in the directory, requests to the IBM Telephone Directory V5.2 application
administrative interfaces, and requests to manage identity mappings for Enterprise
Identity Mapping (EIM), if configured.</p>
<p>After users are authenticated, their credentials (IDs and passwords) are
allowed to pass with the requests routed to the application through the HTTP
server plugin for WebSphere and can be used by the application as
necessary. Requests that do not require authentication are routed to the application
(through the plugin) without credentials.</p>
<p>Other features of the HTTP server can be used to support and protect access
to the application. For example, the HTTP server can be configured to require
the use of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) ports to ensure information is sent
confidentially. It can be configured to log user activity or to prevent certain
users (or systems) from accessing the application.</p>
<p>See the HTTP Server for <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> Web
page for more details on setting up HTTP servers:</p>

<p>See <a href="wpadmin.htm">Administer IBM Welcome Page V1.1</a> for additional
information on the entries used to create the apache20.inc file, including
name, port, location of users and groups, naming, object classes, and administrator
names and groups.</p>
