Hosting Domino LDAP and Directory Server on the same system

If you are running Domino^® LDAP and Directory Server on the same system, it is suggested that you configure each one to bind to a specific IP address.

When hosting Domino LDAP and Directory Server on the same system, you can either set a different port number for each server or you can bind each server to an IP address. Changing the port number can be disruptive to your clients, so specifying a specific IP address for each server might be the best solution. Domino and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) each use the appropriate LDAP server for e-mail addressing.

To force the Directory Server to use a specific Internet address, follow these steps:

1. In iSeries™ Navigator, select your system > Network > Servers > TCP/IP.

2. Right-click Directory and select Properties.

3. Click the Network tab.

4. Click IP Addresses.

5. Select Use selected IP addresses and specify from the list which interfaces you want to bind.

6. Click OK to close the Directory - IP Addresses page.

7. Click OK to close the Directory Properties page.

8. Optional: If you are using Domino LDAP, see the Lotus Domino Reference Library for instructions on how to bind Domino LDAP to a specific TCP/IP address.

9. Start the servers for e-mail.
