To stop an enterprise server

  1. In the table of servers on the Home page of Enterprise Server Administration, find the row for the server that you want to stop, and click Stop in the Current Status column.

    A screen is displayed indicating the server details and security configuration information. This screen also gives you the option of specifying operating system and Enterprise Server security credentials to be used. For more about security credentials, see Configuring Credentials for Starting and Stopping Enterprise Servers.

  2. Click OK.

    The Home page of Enterprise Server Administration is displayed, and the value in Current Status changes to "Stopping". If you have Show local console checked on the Edit Server page, the enterprise server console daemon window briefly appears indicating the progress of the processs of stopping the server.

  3. After a few seconds click Refresh on the Home page.

    The value in Current Status changes to "Stopped".

Note: If the server remains in the "Stopping" state for a prolonged time the reason might be that it has encountered an unrecoverable error during the shutdown. You can force a shutdown by clicking Details to go to the Server > Control page, then clicking Force Stop. Alternatively it might have encountered an unrecoverable communications error and shut down without informing the Directory Server. In this case you can restart it using Start Server on the Server > Control page.
