> # Network Tab of Server Configuration

> Use this tab to configure the LDAP and DSML settings for your directory.

> ## LDAP

> The fields under this heading control how clients communicate with the server through the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).

> Select one of the following security modes:

> - Only non-secure port. The server will not accept LDAP requests on the secure port, even if SSL is enabled.

> - Both secure and non-secure ports. The server will accept LDAP requests on either port below. This options is active only when SSL is enabled and configured on the Encryption tab.

> The server cannot be configured through the Console to accept requests only on the secure port. Through the command line, you may set the non-secure port to 0, but that will prevent the Console from starting.

> When using the Console, the server is always accessible on the non-secure port, but you may set access control instructions (ACIs) to deny directory access to operations based on the authentication method.

> Port. Port number used for non-secure LDAP communication. With a default installation, the port number is 389.

> Secure Port. Port number used for LDAPS communication over the secure socket layer (SSL). This port number must be different from the port used for non-secure communication. With a default installation, the encrypted port number is 636. This field is active only when SSL is enabled and configured on the Encryption tab.

> Return referral. Select this checkbox, then enter an LDAP URL or click Construct to define a global referral for the directory. This is the default referral that will be returned to client applications who submit requests for a DN that is not found in this directory. This referral may be replaced by other referrals defined on each suffix or by the replication mechanism.

> ## DSML

> The fields under this heading control how clients communicate with server using the Directory Services Markup Language (DSML) through HTTP.

> Enable DSML. Select this checkbox to make the server respond to DSML requests. When selected, you may also modify the following fields.

> Select one of the following security modes:

> - Only non-secure port. The server will only accept DSML requests on the non-secure port below.

> - Only secure port. The server will only accept DSML requests on the secure port below. This option is active only when SSL is enabled and configured on the Encryption tab.

> - Both secure and non secure ports. The server will accept DSML requests on either port below. This options is active only when SSL is enabled and configured on the Encryption tab.

> Port. Port number used for addressing DSML pages over non-secure HTTP. With a default installation, the port number is 80.

> Secure Port. Port number used for addressing DSML pages using HTTPS communication over the secure socket layer (SSL). This port number must be different from the port used for non-secure communication. This field is active only when SSL is enabled and configured on the Encryption tab.

> Relative URL. Virtual path name of DSML requests that will be handled by the directory server. This path does not necessarily represent a real location: it is a logical name that appears in the full URL.

> The text box below the Relative URL displays the full URL that clients must use to send DSML requests to the server. The secure URL is also shown if the encrypted DSML port is defined.
