Restart of the server causes the server to read its configuration and accept the
configuration changes, if any. To restart the IBM® Security Guardium® Key Lifecycle Manager server, you can use the graphical user
interface, REST service, or run the server restart scripts.
About this task
To restart server, use the <IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager User> link on welcome
page header bar, Restart Server REST Service, or run the
stopServer and startServer scripts.
Procedure
- Using graphical user interface
- Log on to the graphical user interface.
- On the Welcome page header bar, click the <IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager User>
link.
For example, click the SKLMAdmin link.
- Click Restart Server.
- Click OK.
Note: The IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager server is unavailable for a
few minutes while the restart operation is in progress.
