You can use the manage-profile tool to set up an instance of the server from information contained in a server profile. This tool invokes setup and performs other tasks, such as applying configuration changes, installing schema and extensions, and adding files to the server root.

  1. Place an appropriate set of arguments in the setup-arguments.txt file in the root directory of the profile, along with all of the other arguments that should be used when invoking setup.

    Because manage-profile setup uses the setup tool in non-interactive mode, you should use the arguments listed in the previous section, including:

    • --existingDSTopologyHostName {address}
    • --existingDSTopologyPort {port}
    • --existingDSTopologyUseSSL
    • --existingDSTopologyUseStartTLS
    • --existingDSTopologyUseNoSecurity
    • --existingDSTopologyUseJavaTruststore {path}
    • --existingDSTopologyUsePkcs12Truststore {path}
    • --existingDSTopologyTrustStorePassword {password}
    • --existingDSTopologyTrustStorePasswordFile {path}
    • --existingDSTopologyBindDN {path}
    • --existingDSTopologyBindPassword {password}
    • --existingDSTopologyBindPasswordFile {path}
    Note:

    Unlike the setup utility, manage-profile setup does not support cloning an existing PingDirectoryProxy Server instance, so the --peerHostName, --peerPort, and other related arguments cannot be included in the setup-arguments.txt file.

  2. Run manage-profile setup.
  3. If you have already set up an instance of the server, run manage-profile generate-profile to generate a profile from the information contained in that instance.

    If the server was added to the topology during the setup process, the generated profile includes an appropriate set of arguments for joining the same topology.
