Adam, are you looking in dse.ldif? I'm guessing that the default 
settings aren't written. It does appear in ldap:

$ ldapsearch -LL -x -D 'cn=directory manager' -W -s base -b cn=config 
nsslapd-secureport
Enter LDAP Password:
version: 1

dn: cn=config
nsslapd-secureport: 636

It isn't set in dse.ldif:

# grep -c nsslapd-secureport /etc/dirsrv/slapd-EXAMPLE-COM/dse.ldif
0
