Hello, I'm having a hard time setting some ACL's for my particular setup. I have a structure as follows: dn: uid=*,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com # uid contains several unix/linux user ids dn: cn=*,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com # cn contains several unix/linux groups. uid's (not the complete dn) are supplied to the memberUid fields

What I would like to do is place an organizationalRole in each group and have ACL's setup so that it's uniqueMembers have access to certain attrs (say for example sn) for the uid's (which correspond to those in ou=people) specified in the memberUid fields of the group in which the organizationalRole is placed.

psuedo code would be something as follows:

access to group/posixAccount/memberUid.regex("cn=(.*),ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com") attrs sn by group/organizationalRole/uniqueMembers/.regex("cn=admin,cn=$1,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com") write

Thanks, Tyler

Hi,

you can use sets for this:

access to dn.regex="^(cn=[^,]+,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com)$" attrs="sn" by set.expand="[cn=admin,$1]/memberUid & user/uid" write

Hi Christian, I think I get the set's but that ACL doesn't work, and I'm not sure if regex's or set's will even do the job. A conditional statement if possible may be the only way. Again I'm looking for members of an organizational role (cn=admin,cn=groupname,ou=group,dc=example,dc=com) placed in a group (cn=groupname,ou=group,dc=example,dc=com) to be able to access ONLY the people listed in that group (group/OrganizationalRole/memberUid((cn=groupname,ou=group,dc=example,dc=com)) and nobody else. The people listed in that group are the memberUid and should match up to the complete dn as defined in uid=<memberUid>,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com.

Tyler

I'm sorry, I think I misunderstood what you wanted to accomplish. So you want the members of

'cn=admin,cn=<groupname>,ou=group,...'

to have access to the accounts of all <memberUid>s of <groupname>?

'uid=<memberUid>,ou=people,...'

If that is even possible in that structure, I have no idea how to do it. Why don't you put the 'admin users' in a different attribute of the same group, without the 'cn=admin' child object? That way you could use a set or group ACL.

Argh, forget what I said. I didn't think to the end again. But still... sets could be the solution for your problem. Sadly there's not that much documentation for that feature.

Hi,

You can use ACL sets to do this, as follows. I have adapted the example to use organizationalRole's roleOccupant attribute, instead of memberUid.

access to dn.children="ou=people,dc=my-domain,dc=com" attrs=sn,entry by set="((([ldap:///ou=group,dc=my-domain,dc=com??sub?(&(objectclass=organizationalRole)(cn=admin)(roleOccupant=]

• user/entryDN + [))])/entryDN)/-1)/memberUid & this/uid" read

Quick description:

1. Find all entries under "ou=group,dc=my-domain,dc=com" that match the

filter "(&(objectclass=organizationalRole)(cn=admin)(roleOccupant=<current user's DN>", and get their DN ("/entryDN") - this is all the admin groups the current user is a member of. 2) For each of them, go up one level ("/-1"), thus getting the group that they are an admin of. 3) Get the memberUid attributes of this group ("/memberUid") 4) Match them with the uid of the object we're trying to read.

See http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/1133.html for more info on sets syntax.

Of course, for this to work, you must allow auth access to the admin user accounts, and search access to objects in ou=People.

The way I'm reading the set, that particular chunk seems unneeded because the dn should already be expanded and ready for memberUid to be stripped out by the remaining chunk. Does it mean process each roleOccupant? And Why the '[))]'.

As you can see from the syntax, we're building up a ldap search URL here, of the form

ldap:///<base>?<attrs>?<scope>?<filter>

So we have:

• base = ou=group,dc=my-domain,dc=com
• attrs = nothing
• scope = sub
• filter = (&(objectclass=organizationalRole)(cn=admin)(roleOccupant=DN))

The "[" and "]" operators indicate string literals. The "+" operator concatenates strings.

So to build up the URL, we take the first part, concatenate "user/entryDN" and then concatenate the end of the filter "))".

However, the syntax in sets to perform a search is the following, as described in the FAQ page: [ldap:///<base>?<attrs>?<scope>?<filter>]/<attr>

In other words, the search is only performed if a "/<attr>" is found at the end of the URL. This is why I add "/entryDN" after building up the search URL.

Last but not least, this does work for *all* groups the user is part of, since as sets' name indicated, they work on groups of elements. This works for one or many elements, and only for 0 will it refuse access.

Hope this clears some things up...

Jonathan

Thanks Jonathan, that clears things up a lot and thanks again for your help. :)
