Issue ID: 9810 Summary: slapacl peername Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.4.59 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: slapd Assignee: bugs@openldap.org Reporter: ratness@gmail.com Target Milestone: ---

Found in 2.4.59 on a $WORK system, replicated in 2.6.1:

[root@centos-s-1vcpu-1gb-ams3-01 ~]# rpm -qf /opt/symas/sbin/slapacl symas-openldap-servers-2.6.1-2.el7.x86_64

This is a box where I don't even have slapd running, but that's okay because my point is visible without it:

[root@centos-s-1vcpu-1gb-ams3-01 ~]# /opt/symas/sbin/slapacl -F /etc/openldap/slapd.d -D 'someuser' -b 'somewhere' -o peername.ip=127.0.0.1 entry/read usage: slapacl [-v] [-d debuglevel] [-f configfile] [-F configdir] [-o <name>[=<value>]] [-U authcID | -D authcDN] [-X authzID | -o authzDN=<DN>] -b DN [-u] [attr[/access][:value]] [...]

When I ask for `-o peername.ip=127.0.0.1` the `slapacl` command bails out with usage, indicating a parse failure.

If I then run `slapacl` with `-o peername=ip=127.0.0.1`, I get:

[root@centos-s-1vcpu-1gb-ams3-01 ~]# /opt/symas/sbin/slapacl -F /etc/openldap/slapd.d -D 'someuser' -b 'somewhere' -o peername=ip=127.0.0.1 entry/read invalid config directory /etc/openldap/slapd.d, error 2 slapacl: bad configuration directory!

(which I would expect here since I have no server running)

Demo on 2.4.59 at work: $ /usr/sbin/slapacl -F /etc/openldap/slapd.d -D uid=replicator,ou=logins,dc=example -b 'mail=me@example.com,o=com,dc=mozilla' -o peername=ip=127.0.0.1 entry/read authcDN: "uid=replicator,ou=logins,dc=example" read access to entry: ALLOWED $ /usr/sbin/slapacl -F /etc/openldap/slapd.d -D uid=replicator,ou=logins,dc=example -b 'mail=me@example.com,o=com,dc=mozilla' -o peername=ip=127.0.0.2 entry/read authcDN: "uid=replicator,ou=logins,dc=example" read access to entry: DENIED

slapacl(8) mentions peername, but also aims us at slapd.access(5), which lists peername[.<peernamesytle>].

It's possible I'm dense and this isn't a bug, but minimally the equalsign repetition is really awkward to my eye. I'd suggest at least an example in slapacl(8) so it's easier to figure out.
