7.4. Getting the Administration Server Port Number
Logging into the Console requires the Administration Server URL along with a username and
password. The Administration Server has a standard HTTP address; the default is
http://
hostname:9830/
. (If the Administration Server is using TLS/SSL, then the URL begins with
https://
.)
To find the port number for your Administration Server run this command:
grep \^Listen /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/console.conf
Listen 0.0.0.0: port
port
goes after the colon in the Administration Server URL. If the
Listen
were
1132
, the
Administration Server URL would be
http://hostname:1132
.
