Start and Stop ASE

For ASE to start, the ase_master.key must be present in the /opt/pingidentity/ase/config directory. If you have moved the master key to a secured location for security reasons, copy it to the config directory before executing the start script.

Before starting ASE, make sure that nofile limit in /etc/security/limits.conf is set to at least 65535 or higher on the host machine. Run the following command on the ASE host machine to check the nofile limit:

ulimit -n

You can start ASE in one of the following two ways:

  • Using service script available in the util directory, or

  • Using the start.sh script available in the bin directory.
