Chapter 6 ServicesFigure 6.2Service ParametersNameType of service.StartupKerio MailServer allows two startup modes:• Automatically — the service will be run automatically upon Kerio MailServer’s startup.• Manually — when the server is started, the service is stopped and it must be run bythe administrator if desirable.Listen IP Addresses and PortsBy default, Kerio MailServer listens at all default ports at all IP addresses of the its host.The Ports dialog enables to assign particular IP address to the port where the service isrunning.Assignment of an IP address to a standard port of a service running in Kerio MailServermay be helpful in the case that Kerio MailServer and another application using the sameservices (e.g. another LDAP server, webserver or mail server) are installed at the samehost. In such a case, it is possible to reserve only one IP address for each service of KerioMailServer so that port collisions are avoided.This means that two different web servers may use port 80 at two different IP addresses.Note: Indeed, it is necessary to reserve an IP address for the same service in anotherapplication, that is not used by Kerio MailServer.Warning: Assignment of IP addresses to ports is not recommended if IP addresses arereserved dynamically, e.g. using DHCP.Click Add to bind the IP address to the port.58
