I'm trying to figure out what my ACL should be in slapd.conf. What I want is that a user can change his/her password, but they won't be able to read any other user's password. Right now what I have is not restrictive enough. I've read the OpenLDAP admin guide on ACLs but it was not clear to me what I should use. What I have currently is below. What do I need to change it to to have the results I want? access to attrs=userPassword,sambaLMPassword,sambaNTPassword by self write by anonymous auth by * read by * none

access to * by * read

I'm just trying to have my directory work, where users can log in to their shell account file, samba users can authenticate fine, and no one can see or change anyone else's passwords. so now my ACL is: access to attrs=userPassword,sambaLMPassword,sambaNTPassword by self write by anonymous auth by * none access to * by * read

access to attrs=userPassword,sambaLMPassword,sambaNTPassword by self write by anonymous auth

by * none access to * by * read this should work, write access grants read access too
