Re: Assorted questions and musings, Re: So has anybody come up with a solution for certificate automation that will work on a Midrange box?

It depends "how old"?  The original, circa 2000 and maybe earlier, was based on the CERN implementation but that was replaced by the Apache implementation.  I have been using the Apache reverse proxy since V5R3 days.  So, it would depend upon what OS level James is at.  I know he works with the more "mature" models, just don't know how far back....

It is Apache in current versions.

Realize that James is often times referring to very, very old OS versions. Prior to adopting Apache, IBM had their own HTTP server that was a branch of Apache (not entirely accurate but close enough)

Pete suggested having Apache httpd front the server, but is there
an httpd for Midrange boxes?

Apache.

I'd heard something to that general effect, but my understanding was
that it was a version that used DCM for TLS.
