Except where noted in the table, restarting the LDAP task or the IBM® Lotus® Domino™ server is unnecessary after changing a setting because the task checks for setting changes automatically, by default at three-minute intervals. You can use the NOTES.INI setting LDAPConfigUpdateInterval to change the interval at which the LDAP service checks for changes to its settings.

Setting	Description	For more information
Port and port security settings1	Controls the ports LDAP clients can use to connect to the LDAP service, and the authentication methods enabled for each port Default: TCP/IP port 389 enabled for name-and-password authentication and for anonymous access Changing requires restarting the LDAP task	See the topic "Changing the LDAP service port and port security configuration."
"Automatically Full Text Index Domino Directory?" 4	Controls whether the LDAP service creates and updates full-text indexes on the Domino Directories it serves Default: does not create full-text indexes	See the topic "Full-text indexing directories served by the LDAP service."
"Choose fields that anonymous users can query via LDAP" 2, 3,	If the port settings allow anonymous access, controls which attributes anonymous LDAP users can search Changing requires restarting the server	See the topic "Configuring anonymous LDAP search access to a directory."
"Allow LDAP users write access" 3	Controls whether LDAP users can modify a directory Default: LDAP modifications not allowed Changing requires restarting the server	See the topic "Using LDAP to modify a directory served by the LDAP service."
"Rules to follow when this directory..." 4	Controls how the LDAP service responds when it encounters more than one entry or naming rule that applies to an LDAP add, modify, or compare operation Default: don't carry out the operation	See the topic "Configuring how the LDAP service responds to multiple name matches when processing write and compare operations."
"Timeout" 4	Controls the maximum time allowed to process an LDAP search Default: no limit	See the topic "Customizing search processing to improve LDAP service performance."
"Maximum number of entries returned" 4	Controls the maximum number of entries that the LDAP service can return in response to an LDAP search Default: no limit	See the topic "Customizing search processing to improve LDAP service performance."
"Minimum characters for wildcard search" 4	Controls the minimum number of characters users must place before the first wildcard in a substring search filter Default: 1	See the topic "Customizing search processing to improve LDAP service performance."
"Allow Alternate Language Information processing: 4	Controls whether LDAP users can do alternate language searches Default: not allowed	See the topic "Enabling LDAP alternate language searches."
"Enforce schema?" 4	Controls whether directory modifications through LDAP must conform to the schema Default: schema enforced	See the topic "Enabling or disabling schema-checking."
"DN Required on Bind?" 4	Controls whether the LDAP service requires clients to log on with distinguished names for name-and-password authentication Default: distinguished logon names not required	See the topic "Requiring distinguished logon names for LDAP name-and-password security."
"Encode results in UTF8 for LDAP-v2 clients?" 4	Controls whether the LDAP service returns results in OUTFIT to LDAP v2 clients. Default: Returns results in OUTFIT to v2 clients	See the topic "Configuring character encoding for LDAP V2 clients."
"Maximum number of referrals" 4	Controls the maximum number of directory server referrals the LDAP service can return to a client Default: 1	See the topic "Configuring the number of referrals the LDAP service can return."
"Activity Logging truncation size" 4	Controls the size of the information Activity Logging can log for an LDAP Add or Modify operation Default: 4096 bytes	See the topic "Limiting the amount of attribute information logged for LDAP Add and LDAP Modify activity."
"Allow dereferencing of aliases on search requests?"	Enables limited alias dereferencing for LDAP search requests Default: Not enabled	See the topic "Configuring alias dereferencing for search requests."

¹ Set in the Server document of each server that runs the LDAP service. To configure authentication options for the ports enabled in a Server document, you can instead use a Directory Site document. Using the site document to configure authentication options is required in a hosted organization environment.

² Alternatively, use the database ACL/extended ACL to specify anonymous LDAP search access.

³ Set in the domain Configuration Settings document of each Domino Directory and Extended Directory Catalog the LDAP service serves. Each directory can have different settings.

⁴ Set in the domain Configuration Settings document of the primary Domino Directory of the servers that run the LDAP service in a domain. Setting applies to the LDAP service running on any server in the domain.
