    Having an issue with trying to implement SSL in remote web host setup. At this point appears that redirect is not happening. Servers are Windows 2003 R2 - using IIS 6. Plugin log shows:

    [Wed Jul 17 12:20:14 2013] 00000c48 000005b8 - ERROR: lib_security: loadSecurityLibrary: Failed to load gsk library from C:\IBM\WebSphere\Plugins\gsk7\gsk7_64
    [Wed Jul 17 12:20:14 2013] 00000c48 000005b8 - ERROR: ws_transport: transportInitializeSecurity: Unable to load security library
    [Wed Jul 17 12:20:14 2013] 00000c48 000005b8 - ERROR: ws_server: serverAddTransport: Failed to initialize security
    [Wed Jul 17 12:20:14 2013] 00000c48 000005b8 - ERROR: ws_server: serverAddTransport: HTTPS Transport is skipped

    dll is indeed in the lib folder - and without SSL everything works fine. All on the app server shows no errors and everything starts up just fine.

    I can't find any specific requirements for WAS 7 using IIS6 on Windows 2003 R3 - and/or if IIS 7 is required for SSL. The apps on WAS server start fine after all certs are installed, etc...

    Thoughts?

      And, yes, I know that IIS 7 is NOT available for 2003 R2 - which is why I'm trying to see what WAS 7 and IIS6 compatibility issues might be.

        Update to this issue - path variable was pointing to wrong folder for the 64 bit GSK....issue resolved.
