10. Set the administration domain. This defaults to the host's domain. For example:
Administration Domain [example.com]:
11. Enter the Directory Server port number. The default is 389, but if that port is in use, the setup

Directory server identifier [exam ple]:
The server identifier must not contain a period (.) or space character.

IMPORTANT
When resetting the Directory Manager's password from the command line, do not use curly
braces ({}) in the password. The root password is stored in the format {password-
storage-scheme}hashed_password. Any characters in curly braces are interpreted by the
server as the password storage scheme for the root password. If that text is not a valid
storage scheme or if the password that follows is not properly hashed, then the Directory
Manager cannot bind to the server.
16. Enter the Admin Server port number. The default is 9830, but if that port is in use, the setup

Administration port [9830]:
