Enabling Interactive Mode for Windows Services
When the Secure Connector is installed as a Windows Service, enable the interactive mode for the service to view system tray icons and command window.
About this task
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.
Procedure
- Open the Services control panel. For example: .
- Select the App Connect Secure Connector service.
- Right-click the service name, and select Properties. The Service Properties window is displayed.
- Select the Log On tab.
- Select Local System account and then select Allow service to interact with desktop.
- Click OK.
- Click Restart.
Results
When the App Connect Secure Connector service is restarted, system tray icons and a command
window is displayed.
Note: You can minimize the command window. However, if you close the command
window, the App Connect Secure Connector service will be stopped and terminated. Closing the command
window is the equivalent of stopping the Secure Connector service from the Windows Services control panel.
