Hi, all

I'm writing a little script to allow some people to manage LDAP users, as a CRUD. I created a user uid=crud,ou=Applications,dc=domain,dc=org and I need to allow this user to add, modify and delete users that only belongs to ou=FTPUsers,dc=domain,dc=org.

I wrote this ACL in slapd.conf:

access to dn.subtree="ou=FTPUsers,dc=domain,dc=org" by dn.exact="cn=Admin,dc=domain,dc=org" write by dn.exact="uid=crud,ou=Applications,dc=domain,dc=org" write by self write by * read

Testing ACL, I had:

[root@svr2021 openldap2.4]# slapacl2.4 -f /etc/openldap2.4/slapd.conf -b "uid=crud,ou=Applications,dc=domain,dc=org" -D "uid=ftppinguim,ou=FTPUsers,dc=domain,dc=org" "uid/write:" authcDN: "uid=ftppinguim,ou=ftpusers,dc=domain,dc=org" write access to uid=: DENIED

So, the ACL is not working. If I ask to uid/read:, I have access allowed.

Later I changed my ACL to dn.children, but the result was the same.

I'm using LDAP 2.4 and I would like to know if somebody already did the same configuration or has tips or docs to read.

Thanks a lot

Couldn't it be because you disallow access preceding this particular ACL? ACLs are read rule-by-rule thus they're are position dependent in slapd.conf I also don't use 'exact' but just 'dn'. If that's (some sort of) a mistake, please, feel free to correct me :)

I believe you've simply switched your '-b' (searchbase) and '-D' (binddn).  Should be:

-D uid=crud,ou=Applications,dc=domain,dc=org  -b uid=ftppinguim,ou=FTPUsers,dc=domain,dc=org
