Frequently asked questions
What port does Active Directory use?
Active Directory commonly uses these ports: 389, 88. The default port is 389. These are community database references — actual configuration may differ.
How do I check if Active Directory is running?
Run sudo ss -tlupn 'sport = :389 or sport = :88 or sport = :88' on the server to check for listening processes on these ports. Also use systemctl status <service> to check the service state. Without root you may not see other users' processes. A listening port alone does not prove the software identity — verify with the config file and process name.
