The LDAP configuration file

Access control

Access to slapd entries and attributes is controlled by the access configuration file directive. The general form of an access line is as follows:

   access directive ::= access to what
               [ by who access ]+
   what ::= * | [ dn=regex ]
               [ attrs=attrlist ]
   who ::= * | self | dn=regex | addr=regex
               | domain=regex | dnattr=dn attribute
   access ::= [self]none | [self]compare | [self]search
               | [self]read | [self]write
The what part selects the entries and/or attributes to which the access applies, the who part specifies which entities are granted access, and the access part specifies the access granted. Multiple who/access pairs are supported, allowing many entities to be granted different access to the same set of entries and attributes.
