Chapter 15. Changing the LDAP and LDAPS port numbers

Procedure

1. Optionally: Display the current port numbers for the instance:

   # dsconf -D "cn=Directory Manager" ldap://server.example.com config get nsslapd-port nsslapd-securePort

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

2. Change the LDAP port:

   1. Set the new port for the LDAP protocol. For example, to set it to 1389, run:

      # dsconf -D "cn=Directory Manager" ldap://server.example.com config replace nsslapd-port=1389

      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   2. Set the ldap_port_t type for the LDAP port you assigned in the previous step:

      # semanage port -a -t ldap_port_t -p tcp 1389

      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

3. Change the LDAPS port:

   1. Set the new port for the LDAPS protocol. For example, to set it to 1636, run:

      # dsconf -D "cn=Directory Manager" ldap://server.example.com config replace nsslapd-securePort=1636

      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   2. Set the ldap_port_t type for the LDAPS port you assigned in the previous step:

      # semanage port -a -t ldap_port_t -p tcp 1636

      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

4. Restart the instance:

   # dsctl instance_name restart

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Verification

1. Verify that Directory Server now uses the new LDAP port by the command:

   # dsconf instance_name config get nsslapd-port

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

2. Verify that Directory Server now uses the new LDAPS port number by the command:

   # dsconf instance_name config get nsslapd-securePort

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
