Using HTTP basic authentication with bare UID on the PingDirectoryProxy server

Clients can authenticate to the System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) extension using HTTP basic authentication and a bare UID value.

About this task

This topic applies only to the PingDirectoryProxy server.

When a SCIM extension is hosted by a PingDirectoryProxy server, you must explicitly configure the server with the names of subordinate base distinguished names (DNs) to search.

Make sure to specify your deployment’s subordinate base DN.

Steps

To configure the server with the names of subordinate base DNs, run the following command on the PingDirectoryProxy server for every base DN that you can access using SCIM.
```
$ bin/dsconfig set-root-dse-backend-prop \
  --set subordinate-base-dn:dc=example,dc=com
```
