In the following example deployment, the PingDirectory Server is deployed in a third, centrally-located data center. The directory servers in the central city is assigned to a new location named central. The proxies will use StartTLS to communicate with the directory servers in the central region.

Note: Other than the ability to add to the Directory Proxy Server’s truststore, the prepare-external-server tool does not alter the Directory Proxy Server configuration in any way.
The Directory Proxy Server itself, installed on proxy-east-01.example.com, remains in the East location. This example will reconfigure load balancing between the six directory servers in three locations:
  • ds-east-01.example.com
  • ds-east-02.example.com
  • ds-west-01.example.com
  • ds-west-02.example.com
  • ds-central-01.example.com
  • ds-central-02.example.com
