 I have two users ldap_6 and ldap_7. I want to restrict a user to 

see his own data only. In slapd.conf, I specified the rule as follows: access to * by self write by * none

 But ldap_6 can see the ldap_7 user entries (or vice versa) with
  $ldapsearch -x -v -D  "cn=root,dc=abc,dc=com" -b 

"ou=People,dc=abc,dc=com" "uid=ldap_7"

Any suggestions?

Yes, that's exactly the rule I wrote above.

access to filter=(objectClass=simpleSecurityObject) by self read by * none

Maybe you have to change the objectClass to posixAccount, or both or whatever....

access to filter=(|(objectClass=simpleSecurityObject)(objectClass=posixAccount)) by self read by * none

Just add this rule before the global rule "access to *"

ldapsearch -x -v -D "cn=root,dc=abc,dc=com" -b

"ou=People,dc=abc,dc=com" "uid=ldap_7"

And if you search like this with bind "admin dn", you will see every object.... You have to bind with user ldap_6 and not with root
