Hi!

The manual page slapd.access explains: "The disclose access level allows disclosure of information on error."

I don't quite understand what this is saying: Can the requester find out a specific object or attribute exists without actually reading its value?

Basically, yes. If you attempt an operation on an entry that doesn't have Disclose access, you'll get a NO_SUCH_OBJECT error instead of whatever other error code might have applied.
