Overview of the deployment steps
This deployment scenario involves the following procedure.
-
Install the first PingDirectoryProxy server in the east location using the
setup
orsetup.bat
file included in the.zip
installation file. -
Use the
create-initial-proxy-config
tool to provide a proxy user bind DN and password, define locations for each of our data centers, and configure the LDAP external servers in these data centers. -
Test that external server communications after initial setup is complete and test a simulated external server failure.
-
Install the second proxy server in the east location using the
setup
orsetup.bat
file included in the zip installation file and copy the configuration of the first PingDirectoryProxy server using the configuration cloning feature. -
Install two PingDirectoryProxy server instances in the west location, which includes using the
setup
file and manually setting the location to west using thedsconfig
command and then copying the configuration of the PingDirectoryProxy server using the configuration cloning feature.
After you have configured and tested the proxy server, tour the configuration of each of the proxy server components. You can modify these properties later as needed using the dsconfig
tool.
