After an Edge Encryption proxy is
installed and configured, you can start the proxy from the command line.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: admin  
Before starting the encryption proxy, verify the following:

* The Edge Encryption plugin is activated on the instance.
* The edgeencryption.properties file on this machine has been configured.
* If using an order preserving encryption type or encryption patterns, the proxy database is running.

Hinweis:  
The first time you set up the edgeencryption.properties file or change properties, you may not want to set the password encryption property. After you have verified that everything is working, you can set the password encryption property, shut down the proxy, and then restart the proxy.

## Prozedur

1. Run the proxy server.

   | Option | Bezeichnung |
   | On a Linux machine | 1. cd to ServerName_port 2. Execute `./startup.sh` {#t_RuntheProxy__ol_hfz_cms_5t} |
   | On a Windows machine | Perform the following steps from the command line as admin: 1. cd to ServerName_port/bin 2. Execute `edgeencryption.bat start` {#t_RuntheProxy__ol_gxg_gms_5t} |
