iTP Secure WebServer System Administrators Guide (Version 7.5+)

About This Document
This guide describes the installation, configuration, and management of the Internet Transaction
Processing (iTP) Secure WebServer. It covers the nonsecure version (iTP WebServer) and secure
version (iTP Secure WebServer). For simplicity, both versions are referred to as iTP Secure
WebServer throughout the guide.
This guide provides an overview of the iTP Secure WebServer environment and World Wide Web
concepts. It describes how to set up the iTP Secure WebServer, create and modify configuration
files, and start the required processes. It also describes the Common Gateway Interface (CGI), HP
NonStop™ Servlets for JavaServer Pages (NSJSP), and Servlets 2.5 support for the iTP Secure
WebServer environment.
NOTE: This product uses WebServer technology from Open Market, Inc. and secure software
technology from the open source community.
