PingDirectory

Selecting servers to manage in the administrative console

You can use a single console to manage multiple servers.

About this task

To select which server you want to manage, use one of the following four methods.

Steps

  • To use the application.yml file to select a server for the administrative console to manage:

    1. Set the ldap.server property to the address of the LDAP server to bind to.

    2. Restart the console using the following command.

      Example:

      dsconfig set-connection-handler-prop \
    --handler-name "<HTTPS Connection Handler>" \
    --set enabled:false

dsconfig set-connection-handler-prop \
    --handler-name "<HTTPS Connection Handler>" \
    --set enabled:true

  • To switch between managed servers in a single topology while signed on to the administrative console, in the Servers list, select the server you want to manage.

  • To select a server when single sign-on (SSO) is not enabled and the login.hide-server property in application.yml is false:

    1. If you are signed on to the console, sign off of your current session.

    2. Change the Server field value on the console sign-on page to the address of the LDAP server you want to manage.

  • To select a server when SSO is enabled:

    1. Enter the console URL with the ldap-hostname and ldaps-port query parameters specified when accessing the console.

      https://<hostname>:<port>/console/login?ldap-hostname=<ldap.host>&ldaps-port=<ldaps-port>

      Example:

    In the following example URL, <hostname> is localhost, <port> is 443, ldap-hostname is ldap.host, and the ldaps-port is 636.

https://localhost:443/console/login?ldap-hostname=ldap.host&ldaps-port=636
