Bind localhost to 389, external IP to 636, fails with Local Network address is in use

[Graham Leggett]

Hi all,

After updating the directory as follows in order to make 389ds listen to localhost:389 and external.ip.address:636 (with SSL), the server refuses to start complaining as follows:

[22/Dec/2012:09:32:26 +0000] createprlistensockets - PR_Bind() on 172.20.10.6 port 636 failed: Netscape Portable Runtime error -5982 (Local Network address is in use.)

I have checked, nothing is listening to port 636 before the server restart, so the most likely explanation is that 389ds is trying to bind to port 636 twice, and failing on the second go.

# set the IP address for unencrypted access
dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: nsslapd-listenhost
nsslapd-listenhost: 127.0.0.1

# set the IP address for encrypted access
dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: nsslapd-securelistenhost
nsslapd-securelistenhost: 172.20.10.6

Can anyone point out what I am doing wrong above?

Regards,
Graham
