I'm trying to create an acl which allow a particular use to search my DIT and retrieve dn values only. Perhaps a (broken) attempt at an acl will help explain what I mean:
access to dn.children="dc=mtholyoke,dc=edu" attrs=distinguishedName by dn="cn=proxysearchdn,dc=mtholyoke,dc=edu" read by * break
access to dn.children="dc=mtholyoke,dc=edu" by dn="cn=proxysearchdn,dc=mtholyoke,dc=edu" search by * break
I want to use my proxysearchdn user to do the first step of a search and bind operation, without giving that user any more access to objects than necessary.
BTW, I can indicate attrs=distinguishedName, but attrs=dn gives me an error. Correct behaviour, I'm sure, but I'm not sure then how to say what I mean.
attrs=entry will give access to the pseudo-attribute "entry", which implies access to the entry's DN. That's what is checked when determining if an entry is to be returned by a search operation.
Ah, perfect. When I replace 'distinguishedName' above w/ 'entry' I get just what I was looking for.
Thanks!
