Enabling Interactive Mode for Windows Services
When the Secure Connector is installed as a Windows Service, enable the interactive mode for the service to view system tray icons and command window.
About this task
By default, when a Secure Connector is installed as a Windows Service, the Secure Connector is not configured to interact with the Windows Desktop. However, if the Secure Connector service was installed under a local system account, you can enable an interactive mode that presents system tray icons and a command window when the Secure Connector service is running.
Procedure
- Open the Services control panel. For example: .
- Select the Cast Iron Secure Connector service.
- Right-click the service name, and select Properties. The Service Properties window is displayed.
- Select the Log On tab.
- Select Local System account and then select Allow service to interact with desktop.
- Click OK.
- Click Restart.
Results
When the Cast Iron Secure Connector service is restarted,
system tray icons and a command window is displayed.
Note: You can
minimize the command window. However, if you close the command window,
the Cast Iron Secure Connector service will be stopped and terminated.
Closing the command window is the equivalent of stopping the Secure
Connector service from the Windows Services
control panel.
