A screen is displayed indicating the server details and security configuration information. This screen also gives you the option of specifying operating system and Enterprise Server security credentials to be used. For more about security credentials, see Configuring Credentials for Starting and Stopping Enterprise Servers.
The Home page of Enterprise Server Administration is displayed, and the Status Log column displays server termination progress messages. If you have Show local console checked on the Edit Server page, the enterprise server console daemon window appears, showing progress messages.
If the server remains in the "Stopping" state for a prolonged time the reason might be that it has encountered an unrecoverable error during the shutdown. You can force a shutdown by clicking Details to go to the Server > Control page, then clicking Force Stop. Alternatively it might have encountered an unrecoverable communications error and shut down without informing the Directory Server. In this case you can restart it using Start Server on the Server > Control page.
