PingDirectoryProxy Server provides a Configuration API, which may be useful in situations where using LDAP to update the server configuration is not possible. The API is consistent with the System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) 2.0 protocol and uses JSON as a text exchange format, so all request headers should allow the application/json content type.
The server includes a servlet extension that provides read and write access
to the server’s configuration over HTTP. The extension is enabled by default for
new installations, and can be enabled for existing deployments by simply adding
the extension to one of the server’s HTTP Connection Handlers, as follows:
$ bin/dsconfig set-connection-handler-prop \ --handler-name "HTTPS Connection Handler" \ --add http-servlet-extension:ConfigurationThe API is made available on the HTTPS Connection handler’s host:port in the
/config
context. Due to the potentially
sensitive nature of the server’s configuration, the HTTPS Connection Handler
should be used for hosting the Configuration extension.
