Start Validation Authority

To start Validation Authority, open a command shell and change directories to the Validation Authority home directory (by default, /opt/hidglobal/validation_authority). Run the following command:

Copy 
> ./bin/server.sh start

You can verify that Validation Authority is running by connecting to the Management Console as described in the Management Console section.

In some Linux configurations, the Validation Authority server process terminates after the operator who started the process logs out. In this case, the Validation Authority server process must be run as a background process. Start the Validation Authority server process as follows:

  1. Type the following commands:

    Copy 
    csh
    unsetenv DISPLAY
    /opt/hidglobal/validation_authority/bin/server.sh run

  2. Enter CTRL-Z to return to the command prompt.

  3. Type the command: bg

  4. Log out of the operator account.
