I have just installed IHS 1.3.6 and got it up and running together with
Tomcat (the server is only going to be serving servlets).

I would like it to use SSL when serving my servlets. It is basically a
number of (dynamically created) HTML forms, and I would like the data to be
send through a secure line but without any authentication of the client!

I have used the "IBM Administration Server" to enable SSL, which has added
this to httpd.conf:
=== Cut ===
SSLEnable
Keyfile d:/Key/key.kdb
SSLV2Timeout 20
SSLV3Timeout 40
ServerSignature Email
ServerTokens Full
=== Cut ===

But when I try to restart the server, I get this error:
=== Cut ===
Syntax error on line 555 of c:/program files/ibm http
server/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'SSLEnable', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not
included in the server configuration
=== Cut ===

In the "Security/Server Security" area, I get the message "The following
modules are not currently loaded: mod_ibm_ssl."

Howe do I get that module loaded?

I forgot to mention that this is on a NT4 with SP6 installed.

There should be a LoadModule directive for mod_ibm_ssl in the httpd.conf file
(along with some text explaining how it works(=).

There wasn't, but I have got that working now.

The next problem is this:

I now have the IBM HTTP Server installed (with SSL enabled) and listening on
http://192.168.255.7/

I have Tomcat installed, and it is listening on
http://192.168.255.7:8080/test/
I have nothing else installed (I'm not using WebSphere Application Server)

This is working - it serves my servlets just fine.

What I would like now is to have the "Tomcat connection" to use SSL so the
data between the client and the server is transfered through a secure
connection. I don't need any authentication, but the data should be
encrypted.
