ok thanks,
But how can I set the user in a seperate database to have access to a different database?
Use a separate local database with a suitable backend (e.g. hdb or bdb).
Any "local" DN can appear in access control statements for any other database.
Here is one example (allowing "local" users in dc=ranger,dc=dnsalias,dc=com access to cn=config)
[bgmilne@tiger ~]$ ldapsearch -Q -LLL -b cn=config "(olcDatabase=config)" olcAccess dn: olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config olcAccess: {0}to * by group="cn=LDAP Admins,ou=System Groups,dc=ranger,dc=dnsa lias,dc=com" ssf=112 write olcAccess: {1}to * by * none
[bgmilne@tiger ~]$ ldapwhoami -Q dn:uid=bgmilne,ou=people,dc=ranger,dc=dnsalias,dc=com [bgmilne@tiger ~]$ ldapcompare -Q 'cn=LDAP Admins,ou=System Groups,dc=ranger,dc=dnsalias,dc=com' member:uid=bgmilne,ou=people,dc=ranger,dc=dnsalias,dc=com TRUE
(BTW, please keep replies on-list, and while we're at it, try avoid unnecessary top-posting)
