<h1 class="topictitle1">Interaction with HTTP Server for <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span></h1>
<div><p>See this topic for information about how IBM<sup>®</sup> Survey Creator interacts with the HTTP
Server for <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span>.</p>
<p>To run IBM Survey
Creator, you must install and configure IBM HTTP Server for <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> (5722-DG1).
You cannot use the internal HTTP server that is provided with WebSphere<sup>®</sup> Application
Server. WebSphere Application
Server's internal HTTP server is not intended for production use and does
not provide the level of security, function, and performance required for
production applications.</p>
<p>The IBM HTTP
Server must be configured to use an IBM HTTP Server plugin module (for WebSphere) before
it can route requests to the application. This plugin allows the application
server to hook into IBM HTTP Server and benefit from any services IBM HTTP Server
provides. Once this association is set up, you can send application requests
to IBM HTTP
Server. The plugin recognizes application requests and routes them to the
application server, which routes them to the application. IBM HTTP Server
must also be configured to use an IBM HTTP Server plugin module for LDAP (mod_ibm_ldap).
This plugin module allows the requester to be authenticated before certain
application requests are routed to the application server. LDAP authentication
is performed by the plugin module and uses the same directory server as the
application. The application server benefits from this association by having
a production level HTTP server available to process requests and by having
additional functionality provided by IBM HTTP Server. The IBM Survey Creator application takes advantage
of the additional server function by using LDAP authentication services provided
by the IBM HTTP
server plugin for LDAP.</p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> It is recommended that you use the IBM Web Administration deployment wizard to
set up required information. The wizard creates and updates the plug-in information
and ensures that the relationship between the HTTP server and Application
server are set. The wizard also updates all the necessary LDAP information
in the HTTP server.</div>
