IHS does not use upload and download through IHS settings

The recommend and resource-efficient configuration to up- and download directly through IHS is not set after completing the playbooks:

Additionally, the documentation says for the IBM_UPLOAD part:

Note: The upload module can be used only when WebSphere Application Server is not run as user root. Otherwise, file permissions prevent the application server and the IBM HTTP Server from exchanging files. For security reasons, do not run the application server as root, but if that is not an option, then large files still can be uploaded.

As non-root and files up/download are the recommended way to deploy Connections, it is really important to have both soon.
