Hi,
I'm having a problem with a new LDAP server (slapd 2.4.23-7.2)
I'd like to have root@localhost be able to perform "manage" operations on the slapd on the localhost *only* - all other ACLs would be pretty standard.
The machine itself is considered secure.
Ideally, I'd like to do this with a mode(600) Unix Domain Socket owned by root.
How do you enable an "manage" ACL for the entire DN if and only if the access comes via the unix socket?
olcAccess: {0}to attrs=userPassword,shadowLastChange by self write by anonymous auth by dn="cn=admin,dc=cch,dc=kcl,dc=ac,dc=uk" write by * none
This says "self" can write to these attributes, regardless of origination This says "anonymous" can access these when authenticating This says the user "cn=admin..." can write to these attributes
olcAccess: {1}to dn.base="" by * read
This says anyone can read the base
olcAccess: {2}to * by peername.regex=127.0.0.1 manage ###<<< Added
This is garbage because you unnecessarily escaped the periods. Also, there is no need to use a regex, since you are being exact.
olcAccess: {3}to * by self write by dn="cn=admin,dc=cch,dc=kcl,dc=ac,dc=uk" write by * read
This ACL will never be evaluated because the ACL prior to this already references "*".
My *guess* at what you are trying to do above would be:
olcAccess: {2}to * by self write by dn="cn=admin,dc=cch,dc=kcl,dc=ac,dc=uk" write by peername.ip=127.0.0.1 manage by peername.ip=::1 manage by * read
However, this still isn't what you want, because that isn't restricting by domain socket. As noted in the slapd.access man page, if you want to limit by domain socket, you need to use the "path" prefix. I.e.
peername.path=/path/to/socket
for example:
peername.path="/var/run/ldapi"
