Why do you think it has to do with ports?  Note that the server can run 
as "nobody" and listen to 389 and/or 636, as long as the servers are 
_started_ by root (or from init).  The server drops privileges after 
binding to the ports.

It depends.   But you can usually stop the server, edit dse.ldif, set 
nsslapd-security: off, save, and start.
