Changing the port or IP address

 

Use this procedure to change the ports that the Directory Server uses or the IP address on which the Directory Server accepts connections.

The Directory Server uses the following default ports:

• 389 for unsecured connections.

• 636 for secured connections (if you have used Digital Certificate Manager to enable Directory Server as an application that can use a secure port).

By default, all IP addresses defined on the local system are bound to the server.

If you are already using these ports for another application, you can either assign a different port to Directory Server, or you can use different IP addresses for the two servers, if the applications support binding to a specific IP address.

To change the ports that the Directory Server uses or the IP address on which the Directory Server accepts connections, take these steps:

1. In iSeries™ Navigator, expand Network.

2. Expand Servers.

3. Click TCP/IP.

4. Right-click IBM Directory Server and select Properties.

5. Click the Network tab.

6. If you want to change the port number, enter the appropriate port numbers, then click OK.

7. If you want to change the IP address, click the IP Addresses... button. Then continue with the next step.

8. Select Use selected IP addresses and select the IP addresses for the server to use when accepting connections.
