This should be a transitory state, and after a 
few seconds, it should change to "Stopped" state.

If the server remains in "Stopping" state for a prolonged period this may be because it has encountered 
an unrecoverable error on shut down. Use the "Force Stop" button to attempt a forced shut down.

The server may have encountered an unrecoverable error and shut down without informing the Micro Focus 
Directory Server, in which case if you want to re-start it use the "Start Server" button. If you know the server is
no longer running and you wish to mark the
server as "Stopped", for instance, so that you can edit some of the startup settings, use the "Mark Stopped" button.
