In this case, an additional step is necessary to enable the plug-in to load the correct libraries for SSL. From the command prompt, type the following command:
ln -s /opt/ibm/gsk7_64/lib64/libgsk7ssl_64.so ihs_install_root/lib/libgsk7ssl.soWhere ihs_install_root is the IBM HTTP Server installation directory. If this command is not run, the plug-in will fail to use SSL even when configured.

These messages are most common after building the Apache server from the downloadable source code and installing the Apache server separately from WebSphere Application Server.

This problem occurs when an IBM HTTP Server is run on an operating system with a Virtual Private Networking client such as Aventail Connect. Aventail Connect is a Layered Service Provider (LSP) that intercepts calls between the Winsock 2 API and Window's native Winsock 2 implementation. The failure occurs because Aventail Connect does not implement WASDuplicateSocket(). The interception still takes place when Aventail Connect is shut down.
