Installation Privileges
On UNIX you must install as root if you choose to run the server on a port
below 1024, such as the default LDAP ports: 389 and 636 (LDAP over SSL). If
you choose port numbers higher than 1024, you can install using any valid
UNIX login. On Windows, you must run the installation as
administrator.
