I am searching for a rule like this:
access to "cn=[^,]+,ou=data1,ou=data" attrs="attr1,attr2,attr3" by dnattr="owner of node ou=data1,ou=data" write
Try
access to dn.children="ou=data1,ou=data" by set="[ou=data1,ou=data]/owner & user" write
Thanks for this hint. The man page for slapd.access currently says "The statement set=<pattern> is undocumented yet". Is there anywhere else a detailed documentation for this?
Yes, it's very well hidden here http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/1133.html :) Updating slapd.access(5) has been on the todo list for long time...
Thanks, I think I've got the idea and how to use it for my purposes (those sets are really powerful, my respect to the developers!).
But unfortunately I don't get it to work, I hope it's only a small mistake by me:
This works: access to dn.regex=".*,(ou=[^,]+,ou=data)" by set.expand="user & ([ou=data1,ou=data]/owner)"
This does NOT work (the owner of ou=dataX,ou=data does NOT get access to the corresponding child entries): access to dn.regex=".*,(ou=[^,]+,ou=data)" by set.expand="user & ([$1]/owner)"
(Of course, the first one is not exactly the same as the second one, because the first one allows access to ALL dataX-subtrees to the owner of the data1-subtree...)
But why does the second one not work?
