Completing the installation

Regardless of whether you are installing Delegated Admin in a Unix or Linux or Windows environment, perform the relevant steps in this section after you complete the previous OS-specific tasks.

Navigate to the type of installation you want to complete for the relevant steps.

For all installation types, you must configure the Delegated Admin host to include the following response header in all responses sent back from the Delegated Admin application: X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN. This header protects your server and the Delegated Admin application from clickjacking attacks.
After completing the installation, refer to the next steps section.

The PingDirectoryProxy server

Before you begin

The following task assumes that when you ran the setup command, you answered y to the question Is Delegated Admin being installed in a topology containing PingDirectoryProxy?

About this task

If you are installing Delegated Admin on the PingDirectoryProxy server, you must configure the proxy instance using the delegated-admin-for-proxy.dsconfig script as described in Locations other than PingDirectoryProxy.

To configure all instances of the PingDirectory server:

Steps

Apply the commands from the delegated-admin.dsconfig batch file to all instances of the PingDirectory server.

$ ./bin/dsconfig \
  --bindDN "cn=Directory Manager" \
  --bindPassword <password> \
  --no-prompt \
  --batch-file webapps/delegator/delegated-admin.dsconfig \
  --applyChangeTo server-group

Apply the commands from the delegated-admin.dsconfig batch file to all instances of the PingDirectory server, as explained in Replicated instances of PingDirectory.

Replicated instances of the PingDirectory server

About this task

If you are installing Delegated Admin on one or more replicated instances of the PingDirectory server:

Steps

Apply the following commands in delegated-admin.dsconfig to each instance:

$ ./bin/dsconfig \
  --bindDN "cn=Directory Manager" \
  --bindPassword <password> \
  --no-prompt \
  --batch-file webapps/delegator/delegated-admin.dsconfig \
  --applyChangeTo server-group

External web server

Before you begin

The following steps assume that when you ran the setup command, you answered n to the question Will the web app be hosted in PingDirectory?

Steps

Open config.js in a text editor.
Change the variable values to specify the location of the PingDirectory server.

config.jsVariable Value

window.DS_HOST

Host name of the PingDirectory server

window.DS_PORT

HTTPS port of the PingDirectory server

To view an example outline that features these settings, see example.config.js.
Save your changes to config.js.

config.jsVariable	Value
`window.DS_HOST`	Host name of the PingDirectory server
`window.DS_PORT`	HTTPS port of the PingDirectory server

Create a CORS policy for the Delegated Admin HTTP servlet extension, where <origin> represents the public name of the host, proxy, or load balancer that presents the Delegated Admin web application.

Example:

dsconfig create-http-servlet-cross-origin-policy
  --policy-name "Delegated Admin Cross-Origin Policy"
  --set "cors-allowed-methods: GET"
  --set "cors-allowed-methods: OPTIONS"
  --set "cors-allowed-methods: POST"
  --set "cors-allowed-methods: DELETE"
  --set "cors-allowed-methods: PATCH"
  --set "cors-allowed-origins: <origin>"

dsconfig set-http-servlet-extension-prop
  --extension-name "Delegated Admin"
  --set "cross-origin-policy:Delegated Admin Cross-Origin Policy"

(Optional) If you will be enabling administrators to run Delegated Admin reports in your configuration, run dsconfig with the set-http-servlet-cross-origin-policy-prop option.

Example:
```
dsconfig set-http-servlet-cross-origin-policy-prop \
  --policy-name "Delegated Admin Cross-Origin Policy" \
  --set cors-exposed-headers:Content-Disposition
```

All locations except the PingDirectoryProxy server

About this task

To continue installing Delegated Admin on a PingDirectory server or on an external web server:

Steps

Run the following command with delegated-admin.dsconfig on the appropriate server:

$ ./bin/dsconfig \
  --bindDN "cn=Directory Manager" \
  --bindPassword <password> \
  --no-prompt \
  --batch-file webapps/delegator/delegated-admin.dsconfig
