Step 4 - Using the Service Manager

The Decryption Service Manager module allows operators to start or stop the Decryption Service and also make the miscellaneous service related configurations. The Service Manager is accessed as follows:

The configuration items are as follows:

Items	Description
Service Address	The address of the Decryption 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.
Client request messages must be signed	Select this checkbox to ensure that client applications are forced to sign decryption Service request messages. The ADSS Decryption Service checks the signature on the request message and that the client’s certificate (registered within Client Manager module) matches the signed request otherwise authentication fails and the request is rejected.

Ensure all the changes are saved by clicking the Save button and restart the service to take changes effect.
