Security for Automatic Restarts

If the “interact with desktop” option is not set, the service stays in a “start-pending” state and appears to hang. Kill the service process to recover from this state.

■On Windows or UNIX, create a domain using the --savemasterpassword=true option and create a password file to store the admin password. When starting the component, use the --passwordfile option to point to the file that contains the password.

For example:

1.Create domain with a saved master password. In this syntax, you are prompted for the administration password and master password:

asadmin create-domain --adminport 4848 --adminuser admin --savemasterpassword=true --instanceport 8080 domain1

2.On Windows, create a service using a password file to populate the admin password:

C:\windows\system32\sc.exe create domain1 binPath=

"C:\Sun\AppServer\lib\appservService.exe \"C:\Sun\AppServer\bin\asadmin.bat start-domain --user admin

--passwordfile C:\Sun\AppServer\password.txt domain1\"

\"C:\Sun\AppServer\bin\asadmin.bat stop-domain domain1\"" start= auto DisplayName= "SunJavaSystemAppServer DOMAIN1"

The path to the password filepassword.txt is C:\Sun\AppServer\password.txt. It contains the password in the following format

AS_ADMIN_password=password

For example, for a password adminadmin: AS_ADMIN_password=adminadmin

3.On UNIX, use the --passwordfile option in the line you add to the inittab file:

das:3:respawn:/opt/SUNWappserver/bin/asadmin start-domain --user admin --passwordfile /opt/SUNWappserver/password.txt domain1

The path to the password filepassword.txt is /opt/SUNWappserver/password.txt. It contains the password in the following format

AS_ADMIN_password=password

For example, for a password adminadmin: AS_ADMIN_password=adminadmin
