Come with me while we stroll through the process of creating an IBM i HTTP Server with IBM Web Administration for i. This IBM's browser based webserver creation application.
Here are some high level steps. I will go through a realtime walk through video at the bottom of this page 🙂
- Launch IBM Web Administration for i: This tool is typically found in the system administration section of the IBM i web interface.
- Create a new HTTP Server: In IBM Web Administration for i, navigate to the HTTP Servers section and select "Create" to create a new HTTP Server.
- Enter HTTP Server details: In the "Create HTTP Server" dialog box, enter the following List Element:
- Name: Enter a name for your HTTP Server.
- Host name or IP address: Enter the host name or IP address of the system where the HTTP Server will be installed.
- Port number: Enter the port number that the HTTP Server will listen on.
- Secure port number: Enter the secure port number that the HTTP Server will use for SSL/TLS connections.
- Configure HTTP Server settings: After creating the HTTP Server, you can configure various settings such as SSL/TLS certificates, authentication, and access control.
- Start the HTTP Server: Once you've configured the HTTP Server, you can start it by selecting "Start" from the HTTP Servers section of IBM Web Administration for i.
- Test the HTTP Server: After starting the HTTP Server, you can test it by accessing it from a web browser or using a tool like POSTMAN or SOAPUI.
Obviously these steps are general guidelines and may vary depending on your specific IBM i system and configuration. Always consult the IBM i documentation and best practices for your specific environment.
