Configuration of the HTTP server for additional security and performance

For additional security and better performance, configure an HTTP server, such as the IBM HTTP Server, on a stand-alone computer that is external to any other IBM Security Identity Manager component.

By default, SSL is set to off in the IBM HTTP Server. To enable SSL, we must specify SSL directives (properties) in the httpd.conf server configuration file. A configuration that provides additional security and performance is similar to Figure 2
