Environment

Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 SP3 (OES2SP3)
Novell Open Enterprise Server 11 (OES11)
Domain Services for Windows
DSfW

Situation

Can not connect DNS DHCP console to DSfW server

Using secure ldap port 636

Resolution

DSfW has 3 sets of ldap ports

domain only: 389 unsecure and 636 secure
global catalog: 3268 unsecure 3269 secure
eDirectory tree: 1389 unsecure and 1636 secure

When using the DNS DHCP console against a DSfW server, be sure to use 1636 (eDirectory port) to return all eDirectory tree information.  The domain only port will not work.
