secons Utility—Shut Down CA Access Control on Windows

Valid on Windows

The secons utility shuts down the CA Access Control engine and all other CA Access Control services on the local station or on one or more remote stations.

Only users defined as ADMIN or OPERATOR can shut down CA Access Control. To shut down CA Access Control on remote computers, you must be defined as ADMIN or OPERATOR on those remote computers.

This command has the following format:

secons -s [hosts | ghosts]

-s [hosts | ghosts]

Shuts down the CA Access Control services on the defined, space-separated, remote hosts. If you do not specify any hosts, CA Access Control shuts down on the local host.

You can define a group of hosts by entering the name of a ghost record. If you use this option from a remote terminal, the utility requests password verification. You also need admin privileges on both the remote and local computers, and write permission to the local computer on the remote host database.
