# Apply the configuration to the PingDirectoryProxy server

Review the configuration summary.

## About this task

After confirming that the changes are correct, press Enter to write the configuration.

## Steps

1. Review the configuration and then apply the changes to the PingDirectoryProxy server. Press Enter to write the configuration to the server.

   During the configuration process, the `create-initial-proxy-config` tool writes the configuration settings to a `dsconfig` batch file, which are applied to the PingDirectoryProxy server. The batch file can be reused to configure other servers. On the final step, the `create-initial-proxy-config` tool presents a configuration summary.

2. On the final confirmation prompt, press Enter to apply the changes to the proxy server, and then enter the LDAP connection parameters to the server.

   After the changes have been applied, the `create-initial-proxy-config` tool cannot be used to configure this proxy server again.
