Hm, yes, that's correct. You'll need to do something like utilize by * break appropriately, or have multiple "access to userPassword" ACLs by group, then a catchall after that. --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Product Architect Symas Corporation Packaged, certified, and supported LDAP solutions powered by OpenLDAP: <http://www.symas.com>

Should I list > all attributes in rule? You need to add a rule in the userPassword ACL to allow the group to write to the attribute. ACLs are processed in the order they are listed, and STOP at the first match. This is clearly documented in the slapd.access(5) man page. I.e., you would need: dn: olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config olcAccess: {0}to attrs=userPassword,shadowLastChange by self write by anonymous auth by dn="uid=repuser,dc=core,dc=hdt,dc=hu" read by group.exact="cn=groupabcadmin,ou=ABC Customer,dc=core,dc=hdt,dc=hu" write olcAccess: {1}to dn.children="ou=ABC Customer,dc=core,dc=hdt,dc=hu" by self write by group.exact="cn=groupabcadmin,ou=ABC Customer,dc=core,dc=hdt,dc=hu" write by dn="uid=repuser,dc=core,dc=hdt,dc=hu" read olcAccess: {2}to * by * read I would note again that "by * none" is implicit on any ACL, there's no need to specifically list it. --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Product Architect Symas Corporation Packaged, certified, and supported LDAP solutions powered by OpenLDAP: <http://www.symas.com>

"No limit" is kind of a pointless phrase. The physical limit will always be the size of free space in your filesystem. Aside from that you can simply do what the documentation says - configure a huge size and let the DB grow dynamically within that size. Use 64TB or whatever, and forget about it. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/

That rule goes in the {-1}frontend,cn=config portion of the database as a global access rule. You probably also want a rule that reads: to dn.base="cn=subschema" by * read in the {-1}frontend,cn=config database as well. So for your back-mdb database, what one would expect is more something like: olcAccess: {0}to attrs=userPassword,shadowLastChange by self write by anonymous auth by dn="uid=repuser,dc=core,dc=hdt,dc=hu" read olcAccess: {1}to dn.children="ou=ABC Customer,dc=core,dc=hdt,dc=hu" by self write by group.exact="cn=groupabcadmin,ou=ABC Customer,dc=core,dc=hdt,dc=hu" write by dn="uid=repuser,dc=core,dc=hdt,dc=hu" read olcAccess: {2}to * by * read --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Product Architect Symas Corporation Packaged, certified, and supported LDAP solutions powered by OpenLDAP: <http://www.symas.com>

Ensure uniqueness over multiple attributes?
by Karsten Heymann 13 Oct '17

13 Oct '17

Hi, does the unique overlay support checking multiple values for a single uniqueness check? Our clients can use emails in two attributes (think mail and mailAlias) and addresses have to be unique in regard to both fields, which means an address that is used in either of them cannot be used in any other of them. Is that possible? +Karsten

You do a delete+add, just like Dieter said. What you did in your example was a replace op. I.e., you'd do something like: dn: <whatever> changetype: modify delete: mail mail: my-value - add: mail mail: my-value --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Product Architect Symas Corporation Packaged, certified, and supported LDAP solutions powered by OpenLDAP: <http://www.symas.com>

If you're using back-mdb, you could play with the writemap environment flag as well. --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Product Architect Symas Corporation Packaged, certified, and supported LDAP solutions powered by OpenLDAP: <http://www.symas.com>

Another option, which I didn't think about when building my test setup, would have been to put the data directory into a ram disk during the import and move it to disk afterwards. Either way, each variant seem quite similiar with regard to what effort they take, so I'm quite happy with my setup. BR Karsten
