About this task

To install Delegated Admin on an external web server:

Steps

  1. Open config.js in a text editor.

  2. 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.

  3. Save your changes to config.js.

  4. 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"

  5. (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
