# Configure report generation

Configure the report service before users generate reports.

### Prerequisites

Make sure you have:

* administrator access to **Webconsole**
* a working OpenIAM deployment
* a content provider for the target domain

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Create a content provider

Create a [content provider](/getting-started/concepts.md). You can name it **Call report API** or use another clear name.

This screenshot below shows a content provider for a Docker deployment. For OpenIAM in an RPM environment, use `localhost` instead of `ui`.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Add the report viewer URI pattern

Save the content provider. Then add the URI pattern `/reportviewer/*`.

Click **Create** in **URI Patterns**.

For OpenIAM in an RPM environment, use `localhost`.

<figure><img src="/files/9ae3549e36fd475cf6b94b18457badf5f0fcca10" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

OpenIAM calls this URL in the background to generate scope and result reports.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Update system configuration

Go to **System configuration → Authentication**.

Set these fields:

* **API call base domain** — use `http://localhost:8080` for RPM
* **Default base domain** — use the public base URL that should appear in generated links

Example:

* `https://demo.openiam.com`

Save the changes.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

After these steps, the report service is ready to use.
