Migrating and installing IBM HTTP Server on z/OS systems

You can install the IBM® HTTP Server V7.0 product on z/OS® systems. Ensure that you order the current version of WebSphere® Application Server that contains the IBM HTTP Server for z/OS.

Before you can successfully install IBM HTTP Server, ensure that your environment meets the prerequisites for the application server. For more information, see the Preparing the base operating system topic.

Install IBM HTTP Server V7.0 using SMP/E and then run an installation script to create a configuration in the installation directory:
Attention: IBM HTTP Server V7.0 is different from the HTTP Server for z/OS. The information contained within the IBM HTTP Server product documentation pertains to IBM HTTP Server V7.0, not the HTTP Server for z/OS.
You can use the Web server jobname or other identifier in the installation directory name. For example:
/opt/wwww/webserver1
/var/webservers/AAST1

In the instruction examples in the following topic for installing IBM HTTP Server, an installation directory of /etc/websrv1 is used.

Migrating the mod_auth_saf module directives to use the mod_authnz_saf module directives.

Use the mod_authnz_saf directive for your SAF configuration instead of the mod_auth_saf directive. In addition, SAF password authentication is now enabled by specifying the SAF basic authentication provider directive.
AuthBasicProvider saf
Also, the SAFRequire and AuthSAF directives are not supported in this release of IBM HTTP Server. For information about SAF directives, see the information center topic about SAF directives.

Migrating from mod_auth_ldap to mod_authnz_ldap [z/OS]

The mod_auth_ldap directive in IBM HTTP Server Version 6.1 has been renamed to mod_authnz_ldap, and has undergone several changes, such as:
  • AuthBasicProvider ldap is now mandatory to have LDAP handle authentication.
  • AuthZLDAPAuthoritative replaces AuthLDAPAuthoritative for configuration, if other types of authorization are permissible.
  • Require directives have been updated to be uniquely identified as being LDAP related, for example, Require ldap-user and Require ldap-group.

For further information, see the mod_authnz_ldap documentation.
