To Modify a Port Number, Enable a Port, and Disable a Port

You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help.

Once you make your modifications, you must restart the server for the changes to take effect.

1. Verify the existing settings for your port.

   $ dsconf get-server-prop -h host -p port port-type

   Where port-type is one of the following:

   ldap-port

   LDAP default port

   ldap-secure-port

   LDAPS secure port

   dsml-port

   DSML default port

   dsml-secure-port

   DSML secure port

   For example, to display the LDAPS secure port, type:

   $ dsconf get-server-prop -h host1 -p 2501 ldap-secure-port Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: ldap-secure-port : 2511

   If the returned result is an integer, the port is enabled. If the returned result is disabled, the port is disabled.

   Note –

   You can also list the LDAP default port and LDAPS secure port using the dsadm

   ---

2. If required, modify a port number or enable a port.

   $ dsconf set-server-prop -h host -p port port-type:new-port

   For example, to change the LDAP port number from 1389 to 1390, use this command:

   $ dsconf set-server-prop -h host1 -p 1389 ldap-port:1390

   To enable the DSML secure port on port number 2250, use this command:

   $ dsconf set-server-prop -h host1 -p 1389 dsml-secure-port:2250

3. If required, disable a port.

   $ dsconf set-server-prop -h host -p port port-type:disabled

   For example, to disable the DSML secure port, use the command:

   $ dsconf set-server-prop -h host1 -p 1389 dsml-secure-port:disabled
