Starting the IBM Verify Gateway for RADIUS service

During the installation, IBM® Verify Gateway for RADIUS is configured as a Windows service.

Before you begin

The IBM Verify Gateway for RADIUS service is not started (set to manual start) because you must first edit the IbmRadiusConfig.json file, as described in Configuring IBM Verify Gateway for RADIUS. After you have edited IbmRadiusConfig.json, start the service and set it to automatically start.

Procedure

  1. From a Windows server or desktop system, navigate to the Services setting.
  2. Select the IBM RADIUS Service from the list.
  3. Right click on IBM RADIUS Service and select Start.
    Note: Errors, warnings and informational messages are sent to the Windows Event log. If the service fails to start, examine the Event Log for possible causes, such as an error in the IbmRadiusConfig.json file. You can also uncomment the trace-file entry in IbmRadiusConfig.json and examine the contents of the trace file.
  4. Right click on IBM RADIUS Service and select Properties.
  5. Set the startup type to Automatic.
