A related interesting question: Are the ACL permissions for

to do the actual matching of entries, or are they only used to add the

ACLs also affect the matching.
E.g. in Æ-DIR I have ACLs with val.regex only allowing read access to
those memberOf values pointing to group entries explicitly made visible
for a system.
I was wondering what "entry" actually is,
My own
definition: If read access is granted to 'entry' the entry's DN
will be returned in the search result. Which is not quite the same like
granting read access to 'entryDN'.
and I imagine if LDAP search could return the count of
matching entries only (i.e. no attributes at all), that could be relevant....
Try yourself with the no-op search control.
