The directory servers in the central city is assigned to a new location named central. The proxies use StartTLS to communicate with the directory servers in the central region.

Note:

Other than the ability to add to the PingDirectoryProxy server’s trust store, the prepare-external-server tool does not alter the PingDirectoryProxy server configuration in any way.

The PingDirectoryProxy server itself, installed on proxy-east-01.example.com, remains in the east location. This example reconfigures load balancing between the six directory servers in these 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
