The http-server.properties file

The values that describe your HTTP server installation are stored in the http-server.properties file. You can modify the values to match the deployment environment.

The following settings are in the http-server.properties file:

http.server.home.dir

The path to the IBM HTTP Server installation directory.

For example, C:/IBM/HTTPServer on Windows, or /opt/IBM/HTTPServer on Linux

http.was.module.dir

The path to the WebSphere Plugin for IBM HTTP Server.

For example, C:/IBM/HTTPServer/plugin/bin on Windows, or /opt/IBM/HTTPServer/plugin/bin on Linux.

http.server.ssl.enabled

The status of SSL mode on the HTTP server. When this setting is true, you must also set http.server.keystore.file

By default, the value is false

http.server.ssl.require.secure.backend

Controls whether the WebSphere Plugin for IBM HTTP Server requires secured connections to backend transports, for example WebSphere Liberty Profile. When set to false, the plugin can use an insecure transport if there is no secure connection available. Change this to true to ensure that the WebSphere plugin uses a secure connection to backend transports. When set to true, a secure connection to the backend must be available.

By default, the value is false

http.server.keystore.file

The path to the key database for the HTTP server. This setting is only required if SSL is enabled.

http.server.keystore.certificate.label

The label of the certificate in the key database for the HTTP Server. This setting is only required if SSL is enabled.

http.server.log.level

The verbosity of the messages recorded in the IBM HTTP Server error logs. When a particular level is specified, messages from all other levels of higher significance are reported as well. For example, when INFO is specified, messages with log levels of NOTICE and WARN are also recorded.

By default, the value is ERROR

http.server.http.port.number

The port number that is used to connect to the IBM HTTP Server if SSL is disabled.

By default, the value is 80.

http.server.https.port.number

The port number that is used to connect to the IBM HTTP Server if SSL is enabled.

By default, the value is 443.
