Setting up the Consent Service requires different steps depending on if replication is enabled in your environment or not.

Tip:

If possible, you should set up the Consent Service after replication is enabled for the PingDirectory servers.

For more information about server replication, see the PingDirectory Server Administration Guide.

  1. Choose a Consent Service setup:
    • If you are setting up the Consent Service after replication is enabled for PingDirectory servers:
      1. Configure the PingDirectory servers to use a configuration group called all-servers.
        Note:

        This ensures that configuration changes are applied to all servers in a topology.

        $ bin/dsconfig set-global-configuration-prop \
  --set configuration-server-group:all-servers
      2. Run the Consent Service setup script. 
        $ bin/dsconfig --no-prompt \
  --batch-file resource/consent/consent-service-cfg.dsconfig
  --applyChangeTo server-group
    • If you have set up the Consent Service on a standalone PingDirectory server before enabling replication:
      Note:

      In this example, DS1 is the original PingDirectory server, and DS2 is the second server to be added as a replica.

      1. Run the config-diff command without arguments on DS1 to produce a batch file that contains configuration changes that will be applied to DS2. 
        $ bin/config-diff > config-changes.dsconfig
      2. Apply the config-changes.dsconfig file to DS2. 
        $ bin/dsconfig --no-prompt \
  --batch-file config-changes.dsconfig \
  --applyChangeTo single-server
      3. Restart DS2.
      4. Enable replication between the two servers.
