I use IBM HTTP Server 9 and 8.5. 9 is based on Apache 2.4, while 8.5 is based on 2.2. I know 2.2 is wishful, but since it's Apache, I wanted to see if I could get mod_md working on IHS 9. But I see that in the IBM modules directory there are pdb files. I guess those are debug "libraries"?

When I try to start httpd I get

httpd: Syntax error on line 158 of D:/ibm/64HTTPServer/IHS/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load modules/mod_watchdog.so into server: The specified procedure could not be found.

LoadModule md_module modules/mod_md.so
LoadModule negotiation_module modules/mod_negotiation.so
LoadModule watchdog_module modules/mod_watchdog.so


I installed the latest vc++ redis as well (and it called for a reboot of my laptop).

I copied the bin directory from the download here into my IBM bin directory while keeping the IBM files.

IHS doesn't ship mod_watchdog. You'd have to add that too (e.g. from a binary distribution of non-IHS Apache).

But higher level -- I'm skeptical mod_md will be able to accomplish much with IHS though, it depends on routines exported by mod_ssl not provided by mod_ibm_ssl (to allow certificates to be added by mod_md rather than configured statically).

I think you'd have better luck with something certbot-like + scripting using bin/gskcapmcid or using PKCS12 (supported everywere *.kdb is supported with some conditions.

oh right, forgot about IBM SSL.so, which pretty much kills the idea.

Even though I use in 99% of all cases HTTPd apache, you may take a look at Nginx Proxy Manager for SSL termination.

Thanks, will look into it. The other oddity with IHS is that it has a plugin to WebSphere app servers and the plugin has the app server SSL certs (the plugin has it's own keystore), though they are signed and distrubuted by WebSphere. I did see several years ago someone used NGINX instead of IHS to "proxy" the app servers.

I see there is a github, but it requires powershell.
Unfrotunately, we don't allow powershell to run.

I actually have batch files to use certbot and add to IHS keystore. Seems like I will have to keep working them.
