Aside from the fact that it's a well known port, it's also a port that's less likely to be restricted via firewall rules. The system is on an internal network, but I need to be able to allow remote users (connected through VPN) to use it and there are firewalls in place between them and the rest of the network. By putting this on a well known port I'm saving myself the grief of having to go through a risk-analysis down the road because a firewall rule needs to be changed. I believe I've found the way to configure it to use port 443 (aside from specifying that at setup time). In addition to "console.conf" it looks like "local.conf" and "adm.conf" need to be updated as well as the "nsserverport" attribute in the configuration entry for the admin server under "o=NetscapeRoot". Curiously enough, I wasn't able to update "nsserverport" from the GUI (pops up "unknown error with naming attribute") but I could do it with "ldapmodify". Anyways, it's working now.
