Hi!
man slap.access says:
It can have the forms
dn[.<dnstyle>]=<dnpattern>
man slapd.conf "authz-policy" says:
it can take five forms: [...] dn[.<dnstyle>]:<pattern>
Am I wrong, or is this by any cause different? Why ":" here and "=" there?
Traditionally, "access" used "dn=<pattern>", while "authz*" used "dn:<pattern>"; when styles came in, each context preserved the related separator. I don't see a big inconsistency here, since the contexts of application of each configuration syntax are well separated.
