The following steps assume that when you ran the setup command, you answered n to the question Will the web app be hosted in PingDirectory?

To install Delegated Admin on an external web server:

Open config.js in a text editor.

Change the variable values to specify the location of PingDirectory Server.

`config.js` Variable	Value
`window.DS_HOST`	Host name of PingDirectory Server
`window.DS_PORT`	HTTPS port of PingDirectory Server

To view an example outline that features these settings, see example.config.js.

Save your changes to config.js.

Create a CORS policy for the Delegated Admin HTTP servlet extension, where <origin> represents the public name of the host, proxy, or load balancer that presents the Delegated Admin web application.

dsconfig create-http-servlet-cross-origin-policy 
  --policy-name "Delegated Admin Cross-Origin Policy" 
  --set "cors-allowed-methods: GET" 
  --set "cors-allowed-methods: OPTIONS" 
  --set "cors-allowed-methods: POST" 
  --set "cors-allowed-methods: DELETE" 
  --set "cors-allowed-methods: PATCH" 
  --set "cors-allowed-origins: <origin>"

dsconfig set-http-servlet-extension-prop 
  --extension-name "Delegated Admin" 
  --set "cross-origin-policy:Delegated Admin Cross-Origin Policy"

Optional: If you will be enabling admins to run Delegated Admin reports in your configuration, run dsconfig with the set-http-servlet-cross-origin-policy-prop option.
```
dsconfig set-http-servlet-cross-origin-policy-prop \ 
  --policy-name "Delegated Admin Cross-Origin Policy" \ 
  --set cors-exposed-headers:Content-Disposition
```
