what is the port number of global catalog?
The default port number for the Global Catalog in Active Directory is 3268 for standard (non-SSL) LDAP queries.
For completeness:
- Global Catalog over LDAP (non-SSL) : port 3268.
- Global Catalog over LDAP over SSL (LDAPS) : port 3269.
These ports are used on domain controllers that are configured as Global Catalog servers to allow forest-wide directory searches.
