Red Hat Directory Server 8.0 Administrator's Guide

Server, which maintains the o=NetscapeRoot subtree should be done through
the Directory Server Console.
Changing the configuration directory or user directory port or secure port numbers has the
following repercussions:
• The Directory Server port number must also be updated in the Administration Server
configuration.
• If there are other Directory Server instances that point to the configuration or user directory,
update those servers to point to the new port number.
To modify a Directory Server LDAP or LDAPS port for either a user or a configuration directory,
do the following:
1. In the Directory Server Console, select the Configuration tab, and then select the top entry
in the navigation tree in the left pane.
2. Select the Settings tab in the right pane.
3. Enter the port number for the server to use for non-SSL communications in the Port field.
The default value is 389.
4. Enter the port number for the server to use for SSL communications in the Encrypted Port
field.
The encrypted port number must not be the same port number used for normal LDAP
communications. The default value is 636.
5. Click Save.
6. The Console returns a warning, You are about to change the port number for the
Configuration Directory. This will affect all Administration Servers that use this directory and
you'll need to update them with the new port number. Are you sure you want to change the
port number? Click Yes.
7. Then a dialog appears, reading that the changes will not take effect until the server is
restarted. Click OK.
NOTE
Do not restart the Directory Server at this point. If you do, you will not be able to
make the necessary changes to the Administration Server through the Console.
