Starting and stopping ASE

Before you begin

For the API Security Engine (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.

About this task

You can also run ASE as a non-root user.
