# Before you begin

To set up your system for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) servlet extension, the server provides a `dsconfig` batch file at `<server-root>/config/scim-config-ds.dsconfig` for PingDirectory and at `<server-root>/config/scim-config-proxy.dsconfig` for PingDirectoryProxy.

The script runs a series of commands that:

* Enable the HTTP Connection Handler and SCIM HTTP Servlet Extension.

* Increase the level of detail logged by the HTTP Detailed Access Log Publisher.

* Add access controls to allow access to LDAP controls used by the SCIM servlet.

* Add support to the request processor for LDAP controls used by the SCIM servlet.

* Set the subordinate base distinguished name (DN) property of the root DSE so that SCIM requests can be authenticated using LDAP `uid` values.
