Shutting Down Administration Server
It is good security practice to shut down Administration Server when you are not
using it. This minimizes the chances of someone else changing your configuration.
You can shut down the server from Netscape Console, the command line, or the
Windows NT Services panel.
• To shut down Administration Server from Netscape Console:
a.
Log in to Netscape Console (see “Logging In to Netscape Console” on
page 336).
b.
In the Console tab, locate the Administration Server instance that you want
to shut down, and double-click the corresponding entry.
The Administration Server window appears.
c.
In the Tasks tab, click Stop the Server.
• To shut down Administration Server from the command line:
At the prompt, enter the following line:
<server_root>/admin-<instance_id>/stop-admin
• Administration Server runs as a service in a Windows NT system; you can use
the Windows NT Services panel to stop the service directly.
Logging In to Netscape Console
You can launch and use Netscape Console only when the configuration directory
and Administration Server are running. If the servers are not running, go to the
command line and start them. For information on starting Administration Server
from the command line, see “Starting Administration Server” on page 335. For
information on starting the configuration directory, check the Netscape Directory
Server documentation.
When you launch Netscape Console, it displays a login window. You are required
to authenticate to the configuration directory by entering your administrator’s ID,
your password, and the URL (including port number) of the Administration Server
representing a server group to which you have access. You cannot use Netscape
Console without having login access to at least one server group on your network.
