To install with Install with sample data:

Steps

  • Remove the relevant access control instruction (ACI) from the PingDirectory server base entry.

    Learn more in the delegator/remove-sample-directory-data-aci.ldif file.

Preparing to install Delegated Admin on a replicated instance of the PingDirectory server

About this task

To install Delegated Admin on a replicated instance of the PingDirectory server:

Steps

  1. Make sure that replication is enabled for the PingDirectory servers.

    Learn more about enabling server replication in Managing replication.

  2. To ensure that configuration changes are applied to all the servers in your topology, configure the PingDirectory servers to use a configuration group called all-servers.

    Example:

    $ bin/dsconfig set-global-configuration-prop \
  --set configuration-server-group:all-servers

  3. If you are installing Delegated Admin on a replicated PingDirectory server that had Install with sample data chosen as the installation option, remove the relevant ACI from the PingDirectory server base entry.

    Because replicated instances share the same data, perform this step against only one of the servers. Learn more in the delegator/remove-sample-directory-data-aci.ldif file.

  4. If you’re installing Delegated Admin on a PingDirectory server installation that didn’t have Install with sample data chosen as the installation option, proceed to Downloading the installation packages.
