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

shell

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

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

shell

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?

About this task

To install Delegated Admin on an external web server:

Steps

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

config.jsVariable Value

window.DS_HOST

Host name of PingDirectory Server

window.DS_PORT

HTTPS port of 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 PingDirectory Server
`window.DS_PORT`	HTTPS port of 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
```
