Restarting the Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager server

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.

• Using graphical user interface
  1. Log on to the graphical user interface.
  2. On the Welcome page header bar, click the <IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager User> link.
     For example, click the SKLMAdmin link.
  3. Click Restart Server.
  4. Click OK.
  Note: The IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager server is unavailable for a few minutes while the restart operation is in progress.
• Using REST interface
  1. Open a REST client.
  2. Obtain a unique user authentication identifier to access IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager REST APIs. For more information about the authentication process, see Authentication process for REST services.
  3. Run the Restart Server REST Service.
     Sample request:

     POST https://localhost:port/SKLM/rest/v1/ckms/servermanagement/restartServer

• Using scripts
  1. Go to the WAS_HOME\bin directory.

     Windows

     C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\bin

     Linux®

     /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/bin

  2. Stop the server.

     Windows

     stopServer.bat server1 -username wasadmin -password mypwd

     Linux

     ./stopServer.sh server1 -username wasadmin -password mypwd

     Because the administrative security for WebSphere® Application Server is enabled, you must specify the user ID and password of the WebSphere Application Server administrator as parameters to the stopServer script. If these parameters are omitted, you are prompted to specify the values.

  3. Start the server.

     Windows

     startServer.bat server1

     Linux

     ./startServer.sh server1
