Starting and Stopping Secure Connectors on Windows (Installed as a Windows Service)

This topic provides information about starting and stopping Secure Connectors on Windows machines, where you have a Secure Connector installed as a Windows Service.

About this task

If you installed the Secure Connector as an automatic Windows Service, as recommended, use the Windows Services control panel to stop or restart the Secure Connector.

By default, when a Secure Connector is installed as a Windows Service, the Secure Connector is not configured to interact with the Windows Desktop. However, if the Secure Connector service was installed under a local system account, you can enable an interactive mode that presents system tray icons and a command window when the Secure Connector service is running.

For steps to enable the interactive mode for a Windows service, see Enabling Interactive Mode for Windows Services.

Note: If you use the Start Secure Connector Start menu shortcut or desktop shortcut to start a Secure Connector, the Secure Connector starts as a normal application rather than as a service. You must use the Windows Services control panel to start Secure Connectors as a service. You can use either the Stop Secure Connector Start menu shortcut or desktop shortcut to stop a Secure Connector.

Starting and stopping Secure Connectors, using the Windows Services control panel:

Procedure

  1. Open the Windows Services window : Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
  2. Scroll down the list of services to locate the IBM® Secure Connector service.
  3. Right-click on the IBM Secure Connector service and select the appropriate command: Start, Stop, Pause, Resume, or Restart.
