Change the port or IP address

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).

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.

For an example of the Domino LDAP server conflicting with the Directory Server, see Host Domino LDAP and Directory Server on the same iSeries
