1. At the command prompt, type set ldap, followed by host1 or host2 and the
Directory Services server’s IP address or hostname. Press Enter.
Examples
The following command sets the primary Directory Services server IP address to
98.76.54.32:
SLP: set ldap host1 98.76.54.32<Enter>

Changing the LDAP server port
The Set LDAP port command sets the port to which the SLP sends LDAP requests to
the previously defined LDAP server. The default port is 389.
To change the LDAP server port:
1. At the command prompt, type ldap port, followed by the port number and
press Enter.
Example
The following command sets the LDAP port server number to 8888:
SLP: set ldap port 8888<Enter>
Enabling and disabling LDAP over TLS/SSL support
The Set LDAP UseTLS command is used to enable or disable LDAP over TLS/SSL
support.
To enable or disable LDAP over TLS/SSL support:
1. At the command prompt, type ldap usetls, followed by yes or no and press
Enter.
Example
The following command sets the LDAP port server number to 8888:
SLP: set ldap port 8888<Enter>
Note: If LDAP over TLS/SSL is enabled, MD5 binding is disabled.
Setting the LDAP bind password type
The Set LDAP Bind command sets the password type used in the bind request. The
SLP supports two LDAP bind methods – Simple and MD5.
The Simple method utilizes unencrypted delivery of a username-password over the
network to the Active Directory server for authentication
The MD5 digest method provides much stronger protection utilizing one-way
encoded hash numbers, never placing the username-password on the network. For
more information on MD5, see Setting the HTTP authentication method on page 61.
