2.1.4 Registering the conmgr Process with a Windows ServiceTo start or stop the conmgr process using a Windows service, register the conmgr process with the Windows service. Describes how to register the conmgr process with a Windows service.
Register the conmgr process with a Windows service by using the cm_ctl command with the service name to register, the user name, the password, and the path to the directory where the conmgr.conf is located.
Example)
The following example is executed when the registration service name is "conmgr", the user name is "fsepuser", and the directory where confgr.conf is located is "D: \conmgr".
> cm_ctl register -N "conmgr" -U fsepuser -P ******** -D D:\conmgr
Note
Execute the command as a Connection Manager administrator user with "Administrator" privileges. Execute the command from the [Administrator: Command Prompt] window. Right-click [Command Prompt], and then select [Run as administrator] from the menu to display the [Administrator: Command Prompt] window.
Do not specify the --complete option when registering Windows services in register mode of the cm_ctl command. This is because the conmgr process may be running in the background if it fails to start using Windows services.
You must specify a user name and password for the following reasons:
Because Windows services are started under the Network Service account, the conmgr process is created for that account. As a result, the conmgr process may fail to start on another user. For security reasons, if you do not specify a user name and password, specify the account from the list of Windows services immediately after you register the conmgr process with the Windows service.
When entering the password for the cm_ctl command, be careful that it is not referenced by other users for security reasons.
