# Setting up with the configuration scripts

The PingDirectory server includes two configuration scripts that can serve as the starting point for setting up the Consent Service.

## About this task

You can use one of the following two configuration scripts to start setting up the Consent Service:

* `consent-service-base-entries.ldif` - Import this LDIF script to create the base distinguished name (DN) where consent records are stored.

* `consent-service-cfg.dsconfig` - Import this script to configure and enable the Consent Service.

Both scripts are located in the `/resource/consent/` directory of the PingDirectory server root.

| - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|   | Carefully review and update both scripts to support your client application scenarios and business needs. |

## Steps

1. Choose a configuration script to set up the Consent Service.

   ### Choose from:

   * Basic configuration with the `consent-service-base-entries.ldif` file.

     1. Edit the LDIF script and change the location of where you want to store the consent records.

     2. Import the LDIF script using the `ldapmodify` command. See the following example.

        ```shell
        $ bin/ldapmodify --defaultAdd \
          --filename consent-service-base-entries.ldif
        ```

   * Basic configuration with the `consent-service-cfg.dsconfig` file.

     1. Search for `CHANGE-ME` and replace values.

     2. Review configuration commands and make additional changes to match existing Ping environment parameters, application scenarios, and business needs.

     3. Impost the script with the `dsconfig` command. See the following example.

        ```shell
        $ bin/dsconfig --no-prompt \
          --batch-file consent-service-cfg.dsconfig
        ```
