The LDAP protocol by default operates on which network port?

LDAP uses port 389 by default, which is the standard TCP port for unencrypted directory services. This means that without encryption, clients connect to the LDAP service on this port to perform queries and updates. If encryption is required, you can upgrade the connection with StartTLS on the same port or use LDAPS, which runs on port 636. The other ports correspond to different services—21 for FTP and 443 for HTTPS—so they aren’t the default LDAP port.
