Configure the external servers

About this task

Perform the following to configure an external server for each host in the deployment:

Steps

Configure a PingDirectory server as an external server, which will later be configured as a Sync Source. On PingDataSync, run the following dsconfig command:

$ bin/dsconfig create-external-server \
  --server-name source-ds \
  --type ping-identity-ds \
  --set server-host-name:ds1.example.com \
  --set server-port:636 \
  --set "bind-dn:cn=Directory Manager" \
  --set password:secret \
  --set connection-security:ssl \
  --set key-manager-provider:Null \
  --set trust-manager-provider:JKS

Configure the System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) server as an external server, which will later be configured as a Sync Destination. The scim-service-url property specifies the complete URL used to access the SCIM service provider. The user-name property specifies the account used to connect to the SCIM service provider. By default, the value is cn=Sync User,cn=Root DNs,cn=config. Some SCIM service providers might not have the user name in distinguished name (DN) format.
```
$ bin/dsconfig create-external-server \
  --server-name scim \
  --type scim \
  --set scim-service-url:https://scim1.example.com:8443 \
  --set "user-name:cn=Sync User,cn=Root DNs,cn=config" \
  --set password:secret \
  --set connection-security:ssl \
  --set hostname-verification-method:strict \
  --set trust-manager-provider:JKS
```
