Change default instance for LDAP tcp server

Hello, one of our lpars has the QUSRDIR2 instance working under the LDAP tcp/ip server, and due that, the LDAP server is in "stopped" status but that is not correct. May be there is a possibility to assign any instance as default for that tcp server, so the LDAP will appear started instead of "stopped".

    Thank you for your quick response. We understand you want to be able to configure the default server, and seeing the status under Manage Instances isn't enough. To support the enhancement, both Navigator and LDAP would require changes.
    IBM will use this Idea as input to planning, but no commitment is made or implied. This Idea will be updated in the future if IBM implements it. IBM will use votes and comments from others in the community to help prioritize this Idea.

    Navigator has supported ?Manage Instances ??, the customer can check the status of the non-default instance by clicking the menu ?Manage Instances??. Does this satisfy the requirement? If not, please provide more detail as to what is needed.
