> # Settings Tab of Server Configuration

> Use this tab to configure global settings for your directory.

> Server is read-only. Select this checkbox to enable read-only mode for the entire directory server. When the server is read-only, no entry can be created, modified, or deleted in any suffix of the directory.

> Track entry modification times. Select this checkbox to make the directory maintain modification attributes for every directory entry. Choosing to track modification times means that new or modified entries will contain the following attributes: modifiersNames, modifyTimestamp, creatorsName, and createTimestamp.

> ## Directory Manager

> The fields under this heading manage the entry corresponding to the privileged server administrator.

> Directory Manager DN. Displays the DN for the privileged server administrator. With a default installation, this user is cn=Directory Manager.

> Manager password encryption. Defines how the directory stores the administrator's password in the directory. Choose one of the following encryption options:

> - No encryption (CLEAR). This encryption type indicates that the password will appear in plain text.

> - UNIX crypt algorithm (CRYPT). Provided for compatibility with UNIX passwords.

> - Secure Hashing Algorithm (SHA). A one-way hash algorithm that was the default encryption schema in Directory Server 4.x.

> - Salted Secure Hashing Algorithm (SSHA). This method is recommended as the most secure. SSHA is the default encryption method.

> New password. To change the directory manager password, enter the new password in this text box.

> Confirm password. Re-enter the new directory manager password in this text box for verification.
