SSLSERV from IBM does indeed require a linux server to run on under VM. It requires you to install and configure a linux server on VM before installing SSLSERV. If you are not familiar with Linux on VM, I suggest contacting Sine Nomine Associates, From them you can purchase what is essentially a drop-in appliance server running the IBM code, I believe.
CA also has a VM-only package called VM:Webserv and VM:WebSSL. We use it and it works rather well. It has both advantages and drawbacks over SSLSERV. You will probably find it to be more expensive than Sine Nomine's product. Some people are like Slinkies... Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs. Gordon Wolfe, Ph. D.
