2.5.2 Changing the port number in the command line
The port number for the Admin Server is 9830 by default.
The Admin Server configuration is stored in two locations. The main entry is an LDAP entry in
the Configuration Directory Server's o=NetscapeRoot database. The other is the console.conf
file. Changing the port number requires changing both settings.
1. Edit the Admin Server configuration entry in the Configuration Directory Server.
a. Get the name of the Admin Server entry. Since the Admin Server entry has a special
object class, nsAdminConfig, it is possible to search for the entry using that object
class to retrieve the DN.
ldapsearch -D "cn=directory manager" -w secret -p 389 -h server.example.com \
-b "o=NetscapeRoot" "(objectclass=nsAdminConfig)" dn
version:1
dn: cn=configuration, cn=admin-serv-example, cn=HPDS Administration
Server, cn=Server Group, cn=server.example.com, ou=example.com,
o=NetscapeRoot
b. The Admin Server entry can be edited using ldapmodify. The port number is set in
the nsServerPort attribute. For example:
ldapmodify -D "cn=directory manager" -w secret -p 389 -h server.example.com
dn: cn=configuration, cn=admin-serv-example, cn=HPDS Administration
Server, cn=Server Group, cn=server.example.com, ou=example.com,
o=NetscapeRoot
