Step 4 - Using the Service Manager
The NPKD service manager module allows operators to start, stop or restart the NPKD service and also make changes to service related configurations.
Click on the "Service Manager" button and this screen is shown:
The configuration items are as follows:
| Item | Description |
| Server Names | The address of the NPKD service being controlled from this Service Manager. Ensure the address points to the correct service URL, i.e. if you are running the service on multiple machines in a load-balanced configuration then check that the name is correct for the particular instance that needs to be started/stopped/restarted. By default, it will be that of the local machine. |
| Start | Start the service. Status will change to “Running” after a successful start. |
| Stop | Stop the service. Status will change to “Stopped” after the service is stopped. |
| Restart | Stop and then start the service in one go. Status will change to “Running” after a successful restart. |
| Log NPKD Service Transactions | When this option is enabled then all ADSS NPKD transactions except low-level operations are recorded in the ADSS NPKD database. If this option is disabled then no transaction will be recorded in the database. This feature is useful when much higher throughput is required and logging is seen as an overhead. |
| Home Country | This drop-down field enables the operator to select the country where NPKD Service is deployed. The NPKD Service will upload only those Master Lists, CRLs and DS certificates to ICAO PKD that will belong to the country set as Home Country. |
Ensure that all the changes are saved by clicking 'Save' button.
