Set up the IPP server

You can administer and configure the 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 TLS, or SSL support, you must also have installed the Digital Certificate Manager and a Cryptographic Access Provider licensed program.

Once configured, you can manage the IPP server from the IBM IPP Server Administrator interface. See Manage IPP server, for more information.

The IPP server is initialized using a special configuration file. 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.
