The Ping Identity servers provide several command-line tools for management and
administration. The command-line tools are available in the bin
directory for UNIX or Linux systems and bat
directory for Microsoft
Windows systems.
The dsconfig
tool is the text-based management tool used to configure
the underlying server configuration. The tool has three operational modes:
- Interactive Mode
- Non-interactive mode
- Batch mode
The dsconfig
tool also offers an offline mode using the
--offline
option, in which the server does not have to be running
to interact with the configuration. In most cases, the configuration should be accessed
with the server running in order for the server to give the user feedback about the
validity of the configuration.
Each command-line utility provides a description of the subcommands, arguments, and usage
examples needed to run the tool. View detailed argument options and examples by typing
-- help
with the command.
$ bin/dsconfig --help
To list the subcommands for each command:
