Description of problem:
When upgrading IPA we shut down dirsrv, reconfigure it to only listen on ldapi,
restart it, apply our updates, then reverse it.
It would be safer if we could pass in the configuration changes on the
command-line rather than changing dse.ldif directly.
It might look something like:
-C cn=config:nsslapd-port=0 -C
cn=config:nsslapd-ldapisocket=/var/run/ipa-update.socket ...

The problem with this is - how will it work with service and systemd? How will you specify the command line arguments to slapd?

set default ticket origin to Community

Added initial screened field value.

Comment by Ludwig:
but not this specific suggestion, but could we allow enabling/disabling ports without restart. Is this something that could be done in the context of nunc-stans?

Setting to 1.3.5 eval
