2. Open putty and cd to $GLASSFISH_HOME/bin (for Ex: cd /home/glassfish/glassfish4/bin).

3. Stop the Glassfish server.

   1. If SSL Certificate's implementation was done on the server, use the below command:

      • authbind --deep sh asadmin stop-domain <domain_name>

   2. If SSL Certificate's implementation was not done on the server, use the below command:

      • sh asadmin stop-domain <domain_name>

4. Check if there are any processes still running on the server. Use the below command to check the running processes:
