Run the Product¶

The sections given below cover the way to start and stop WSO2 Identity Server using the command line and configuring it via the Management Console.

• Start the server
• Access the management console
• Stop the server

Start the server¶

Follow the relevant instructions based on the operating system you use.

Start on Windows/Linux/Mac OS¶

To start the server, run either

• wso2server.bat (on Windows) or
• wso2server.sh (on Linux/Mac OS) script,

which are located inside the <IS_HOME>/bin folder. Alternatively, you can install and run the server as a Windows service.

set CARBON_HOME="<ACTUAL_PATH_OF_IS_HOME_DIRECTORY_>"

1. Open a command prompt:

   • Windows: Start -> Run, enter cmd at the prompt, and click Enter.

   • Linux/Mac OS: establish an SSH connection to the server or log in to the text Linux console.

2. Execute one of the following commands to start the server.

   • On Windows: <IS_HOME>/bin/wso2server.bat --run

   • On Linux/Mac OS: sh <IS_HOME>/bin/wso2server.sh

     Info

     If you need to provide access to the production environment without allowing any user group (including admin) to log in to the management console, execute one of the following commands.

     • On Windows: <IS_HOME>\bin\wso2server.bat --run -DworkerNode

     • On Linux/Mac OS: sh <IS_HOME>/bin/wso2server.sh -DworkerNode

     To know the additional actions you can perform, enter -help after the command. For example, sh <IS_HOME>/bin/wso2server.sh -help.

Once the server has started, the operation log will display WSO2 Carbon started in 'n' seconds.

Start on Solaris¶

To start the server, navigate to <IS_HOME>/bin and run wso2server.sh  from the command prompt. The required steps are as follows.

1. Get Command Prompt: Launch -> Run Applications -> enter dtterm -> click Enter.

2. Execute the following command to start the server

   <IS_HOME>/bin/ bash wso2server.sh.

3. The operation log appears in the command window. When the product server has successfully started, the log displays the message "WSO2 Carbon started in 'n' seconds".

Access the management console¶

Once the server has started, you can access the management console by navigating to the URL of the management console. The URL is displayed towards the end of the server start script's console and log. The URL should be in the following format.

https://<Server Host>:9443/carbon

Use the above URL to access the management console via any computer connected to the Internet or LAN. When accessing the management console from the same server where it is installed, enter "localhost" instead of the IP address. Use admin as both the username and password to log in to the management console.

Example: https://localhost:9443/carbon .

<session-config>
   <session-timeout>15</session-timeout>
</session-config>

Shut the server down and restart the server¶

You can shutdown the server via the management or using the command terminal. Following steps will guide you through the procedure.

Shut down and restart via the management console¶

   • Forced shutdown - Discards any requests currently being processed and immediately shuts the server down
   • Graceful Restart - Stops accepting new requests, continues to process already received requests, and then restarts the server.
   • Immediate Restart - Discards any requests currently being processed and immediately restarts the server.
