After TLS/SSL is enabled, then the Admin Server can only be connected to using HTT PS. All of the
previous HT T P (standard) URLs for connecting to the Admin Server and its services no longer work.
This is true whether connecting to the Admin Server using the Console or using a web browser.
2.9. Changing Directory Server Settings
The Admin Server stored information about the Directory Server Configuration Directory (which stores
the instance configuration information) and the Directory Server User Directory (which stores the actual
directory entries). T hese can be the same directory instance, but they do not have to be. The settings
for both of those databases can be edited in the Admin Server configuration so that it communicates with
a different Directory Server instance.
2.9.1. Changing the Configuration Directory Host or Port
Configuration data are stored under o=NetscapeRoot in the Configuration Directory. T he configuration
database contains server settings such as network topology information and server instance entries.
When server configuration changes are stored in the configuration directory subtree.
WARNING
Changing the Directory Server host name or port number impacts the rest of the servers in the
server group. Changing a setting here means the same change must be made for every server in
the server group.
1. Open the Admin Server management window.
2. Click the Configuration tab.
3. Click the Configuration DS tab.
4. Set the Configuration Directory Server connection information.
The LDAP Host is the hostname of the Configuration Directory Server machine.
The LDAP Port is the port number to use for the Directory Server instance. T he regular LDAP
port is 389; the default LDAPS (secure) port number is 636.
Check the Secure Connection checkbox to use the secure port. Before checking this box,
make sure that the Configuration Directory Server has enabled SSL.
5. Click Save.
2.9.2. Changing the User Directory Host or Port
The user directory is used for authentication, user management, and access control. It stores all user
and group data, account data, group lists, and access control instructions (ACIs).
