Manage IPP server

You can administer the IPP server using the IBM® IPP Server Administrator for iSeries, a browser-driven graphical user interface. Before using the interface, it must be configured. See Set up the IPP server for information on how to set up and configure the IPP server.

Using the Manage IBM IPP Server form, you can use the start, stop, and restart buttons to perform the given action for the IPP server. The current server status, along with the ports the server is listening on, is displayed in the table. At most, there will be two ports the IPP server will be listening on at any one time. Port 631 is for nonsecure data and secure data provided by a connection upgrade to TLS. The other port is for secure data provided by an SSL connection. The last time the table information was updated is also displayed. The table can be refreshed by clicking the refresh button.
