Configuring Your Server
The iTP Secure WebServer is shipped with a default configuration, contained in the file
httpd.config, located in the /usr/tandem/webserver/conf directory. You modify the
configuration by entering or changing the Tcl commands, called directives, in this file.
(For an overview of Tcl, see Appendix E, Tool Command Language (Tcl) Basics.)
The httpd.config file contains conditional file exists statements that enable the inclusion
of directives in other files. For example, directives required for use of the Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) or Private Communication Technology (PCT) are contained in the
file httpd.stl.config, and directives required for WebSafe2 Internet Security Processor
(WISP) use are contained in the file httpd.websafe.config.
The iTP Secure WebServer Administration Server, described in Section 12, Managing
the iTP Secure WebServer From Your Browser, lets you use the facilities of your
browser to modify configuration files and restart the iTP Secure WebServer environment
to implement a new configuration.
