from reading the AdminGuide and a quick search through the
FAQ-o-Matic I
couldn't gather how I'd insert a new ACL between the existing rules
2
and 3...
Reread section 5.3.6 of the Admin Guide. This has been documented for more than a year.
I took my time to read that section, for a third time. And no, it doesn't answer my question. It does document how to change the second rule - not how to insert a "2.5th" rule.
So it seems like I have to do an LDAPsearch to gather all the olcAccess values, insert a new one between two of them, prepend the
weight-numbers
to them and put them in an LDIF to replace the whole attribute. How inconvenient.
It doesn't explicitly say this in section 5.3.6, but somewhere else (forget where I saw it), I think I saw that if you have something like:
Attr: {0}val0 Attr: {1}val1 Attr: {2}val2
If you add Attr: {2}val2.5, existing values at {2} or above get pushed up - i.e. attr: {2}val2 becomes attr: {3}val2 and the new one becomes {2}.
I assume the same mechanism is used throughout.
I seem to remember seeing this someplace, but can't find the reference - is this correct, and if so can anyone provide a reference?
