  2. Go to the <IHS_root>/conf directory.
  3. Open the httpd.conf file using a text editor.
    1. Uncomment the following in the file. 
      LoadModule ibm_ssl_module modules/mod_ibm_ssl.soListen 443<VirtualHost *:443>SSLEnable</VirtualHost>KeyFile /home/opuser/IBM/HTTPServer/<yourkeystore.kdb>SSLDisable
