Setting up the IPP server

You can administer and configure the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) server using the IBM® IPP Server Administrator for i, a browser-driven graphical user interface.

Before using the interface, verify that the IBM HTTP Server for i is installed on your system. For upgrade to Transport Layer Security (TLS), or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) support, you must also install the Digital Certificate Manager and a Cryptographic Access Provider licensed program.

After the configurations previously mentioned are completed, you can manage the IPP server from the IBM IPP Server Administrator interface.

You can use a special configuration file to initialize the IPP server. The file is named QIBM/UserData/OS400/Ipp/conf/qippsvr-cust.conf. Do not manually edit this file. The configuration file is changed through the IBM IPP Server Administrator browser interface.
