How to upgrade ibm http server installed with domino 9.0.1?

When installing domino 9.0.1 you can choose to install ibm http server and it installs version 8.5.5

Now I need to upgrade this http server with the latest fixpack. But how can I do this?
You would normally do this with the installation manager but since the installation manager not installed the http server it can´t find it to update it either...

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Hi Staale,

It looks like each version of IHS that is bundled with a specific release of Domino is designed to work with that version of Domino.

The only way I have found to upgrade is to upgrade a later version of Domino that contains a later release of IHS.

Unfortunately, 8.5.5 seems to be the latest version available with Domino 9.

I understand. 

I suggest that when a fixpack is released for domino it should also include a fix for the IHS.
Fixpack 4 for domino 9.0.1 handles the sslv3 poodle problem and makes it possible to add DISABLE_SSLV3=1 to notes.ini
But it does not handle the tsl problem for IHS if this is used. The advice is to add fixpack to ihs : https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21692502

My goal is to handle the poodle problem with sslv3, tsl and rc4cipher. 

Are there other ways to update the domino.conf file so it will be secure?
