This is all documented in the IHS InfoCenter
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/web...ers/library/#v2

If you prefer to use mod_ssl then you can use Apache (IHS is based on Apache
and one of the things that makes it IHS is the use of gsk for SSL support).

BTW, where did you ask for help on this issue? This forum is not the IBM
official support mechanism. Most of the people who answer questions here
(IBM and non-IBM) do so voluntarily.
