Server and Port Number

Deja displays information about its connection to the directory server. The default port number that Deja uses to connect to the directory server is 389. The host name and port number can be specified when Deja is started.

• If Deja is viewed through a browser, the port number that Deja uses to connect to the directory server is specified in the Deja.html file on the directory server. If it is viewed as a local applet the hostname of the directory server is also taken from the Deja.html file. If it is viewed as a remote applet Deja connects to the remote host. See "Starting Deja".

• If Deja is displayed as an application on the directory server, the hostname and port number can be specified on the command line. See "Displaying Deja Locally as a Java Application".

To connect to a different directory server, or change the port number, from within Deja see "Connecting to Another Directory Server".
