Secure IBM HTTP Server

I am tasked with securing IHS. I know that IHS is derivative of Apache. My question is does anyone know if there is a white paper or web site that outlines how to secure IHS? Or should I be falling back on the Apache security configuration document.

Thank you

IBM Http Server does not support specific modules that relate to security.

For example instead of mod_ssl there is mod_ibm_ssl.

A very useful FAQ page on almost every aspect IBM Http Server is the following.

In general IHS is based on Apache, so you can follow any security documents related to Apache in most cases. You should install latest fix pack for your IHS version as it may update underlying Apache also.

To check Apache version being used you can issue the following command:

// on windows
C:\ibm\HTTPServer\bin>apache -V
 // on linux
#./apachectl -V

Server version: IBM_HTTP_Server/8.5.5.0 (Unix)
Apache version: 2.2.8 (with additional fixes)
