Perform the following to configure an external server for each host in the deployment:

  1. Configure a PingDirectory Server as an external server, which will later be configured as a Sync Source. On PingDataSync, run the following dsconfig command: 
    $ bin/dsconfig create-external-server \
  --server-name source-ds \
  --type ping-identity-ds \
  --set server-host-name:ds1.example.com \
  --set server-port:636 \
  --set "bind-dn:cn=Directory Manager" \
  --set password:secret \
  --set connection-security:ssl \
  --set key-manager-provider:Null \
  --set trust-manager-provider:JKS
  2. Configure the SCIM server as an external server, which will later be configured as a Sync Destination. The scim-service-url property specifies the complete URL used to access the SCIM service provider. The user-name property specifies the account used to connect to the SCIM service provider. By default, the value is cn=Sync User,cn=Root DNs,cn=config. Some SCIM service providers may not have the user name in DN format. 
    $ bin/dsconfig create-external-server \
  --server-name scim \
  --type scim \
  --set scim-service-url:https://scim1.example.com:8443 \
  --set "user-name:cn=Sync User,cn=Root DNs,cn=config" \
  --set password:secret \
  --set connection-security:ssl \
  --set hostname-verification-method:strict \
  --set trust-manager-provider:JKS
