Starting and Stopping Secure Remote Access

You are here:

Secure Remote Access is a macOS application for accessing remote Macs securely using PIV compatible smart cards.

If the client cannot connect to the remote system, it is sometimes helpful to restart the Secure Remote Access daemon on the remote system. To do this:

Run the following commands as root via Terminal or your client management system (as root):

  1. Send the following command to turn off the Secure Remote Access:
    /Applications/"Secure Remote Access.app"/Contents/Resources/secure_remote_access.sh -d
  2. Send the following command to re-enable the Secure Remote Access daemon. Any prior settings will be used when restarting.
    /Applications/"Secure Remote Access.app"/Contents/Resources/secure_remote_access.sh -a
