Example: Setting the SSL Port Number

The SSL port number defines the port that a DSA uses to communicate with its SSL daemon.

To set this up, you could define this port number at the host level. However, this would mean that you would have to set this for every host. Instead, we recommend that you set the SSL port number at the backbone level. This then works as a default value for the entire directory backbone.

If the port number you choose is already in use on a particular host, you can set a different value for that host, which overrides the value you set for the entire backbone.
