Host Domino LDAP and Directory Services on the same iSeries server

If you are running Domino® LDAP and Directory Services on the same iSeries™ server, it is recommended that you configure each one to bind to a specific IP address. This topic provides the steps for configuring Directory Services to use a specific Internet address.

When hosting Domino LDAP and Directory Services on the same iSeries server, 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) will each use the appropriate LDAP server for e-mail addressing.

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

  1. In iSeries Navigator, select your iSeries Server > 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 Domino reference library for instructions on how to bind Domino LDAP to a specific TCP/IP address.
  9. Start the servers for e-mail
