hi,
I'm trying to configure a not complex (as I believe) ACL ... but have some
difficulties
I have two posixGroup groups
cn=admins,ou=group,dc=foo
cn=coadmins,ou=group,dc=foo
my users resides in ou=People,dc=foo
so, in subtree ou=People,dc=foo I need to allow anything to admins (and
it is not difficult of course)
for example this works for me:
access to dn.subtree="ou=People,dc=foo"
by set="[cn=admin,ou=group,dc=foo]/memberUid & user/uid" manage
by self write
by users read
by * break
but in addition I need to allow my coadmins to do the same things except
manipulations upon the objects which belong to admins (
...anyobject,uid=adminuser,ou=People,dc=foo )
so, the question is: how? (if it is possible at all) :(
please, advise

It depends partly on why the ACI ends with 'by * break'. What other
rules could be applied in that case?
In the simple case where 'by * none' would have the same effect, you could
just put another ACI ahead of the one above so it comes out like this:
access to <expression matching the admin user DNs>
by self write
by users read
by * none
access to dn.subtree="ou=People,dc=foo"
by set="[cn=admin,ou=group,dc=foo]/memberUid & user/uid" manage
by self write
by users read
by * none
The problem is to write the '<expression matching the admin user DNs>'.
That would probably be easier if you were not defining admin users by their
UID in a Posix group. Ideally there would be an attribute visible in each
entry that defines admin status, as then you could just key on that.
If your admin group is defined as a standard DN-based groupOfNames then
you could use the memberof overlay to reflect membership into an attribute
of the user entry.

here I meant the objects which are the children of admins object like these:
---[ LDIF 1 quotation start ]-------------------------------------------
## topmost object, "root" object, the one used for access to LDAP objects
dn: uid=adminuser,ou=People,dc=foo
...
objectClass: person
## branch for email service of talax.startrek.in domain object
dn: authorizedService=mail(a)talax.startrek.in,uid=adminuser,ou=People,dc=foo
...
objectClass: person
## email service of talax.startrek.in domain object
dn:
uid=neelix@talax.startrek.in,authorizedService=mail@talax.startrek.in,uid=adminuser,ou=People,dc=foo
...
objectClass: person
## branch for email service of rinax.startrek.in domain object
dn: authorizedService=mail(a)rinax.startrek.in,uid=adminuser,ou=People,dc=foo
...
objectClass: person
## email service of rinax.startrek.in domain object
dn:
uid=alixia@rinax.startrek.in,authorizedService=mail@rinax.startrek.in,uid=adminuser,ou=People,dc=foo
...
objectClass: person

ok, thank you :)
now I was able to manage all it working this way:
---[ slapd.conf quotation start ]-------------------------------------------
...
## in the begining we allow admins anything
access to *
by set="[cn=admin,ou=group,ou=system,dc=foo]/memberUid & user/uid"
manage
by * break
## allowing all replicas to access the log
access to dn.children="cn=foo-accesslog"
by dn.one="ou=repl,ou=system,dc=foo" read
by * break
## allowing replica serving domain talax.startrek.in
access to
dn.regex="^uid=(.*)@talax.startrek.in,authorizedService=(mail|xmpp)@talax.startrek.in,uid=(.*),ou=People,dc=foo$"

by * stop
## allowing access to jpegPhoto:
### replicas to search (otherwise replication failed)
### admins, coadmins, self and the topmost DN (the 1-st object in LDIF 1 sample above) to
write
access to dn.subtree="ou=People,dc=foo" attrs=jpegPhoto

by users read
by * none

In the simple case where 'by * none' would have the same
effect, you could
just put another ACI ahead of the one above so it comes out like this:
...
The problem is to write the '<expression matching the admin user DNs>'.
is there way to know whether DN is a child of the admin's one,
except to look at the end of it, whether it ends with
"uid=ADMIN-USER-TO-PROCESS,ou=People,dc=foo" ?
That would probably be easier if you were not defining admin users by
their
UID in a Posix group. Ideally there would be an attribute visible in each
entry that defines admin status, as then you could just key on that.
it implies to use the attribute for each child object of the admin object
like:
---[ LDIF 2 quotation start ]-------------------------------------------
dn: uid=adminuser,ou=People,dc=foo
belongsToAdmin: yes
...
objectClass: person
## branch for email service of talax.startrek.in domain object
dn: authorizedService=mail(a)talax.startrek.in,uid=adminuser,ou=People,dc=foo
belongsToAdmin: yes
...
objectClass: person
## email service of talax.startrek.in domain object
dn:
uid=neelix@talax.startrek.in,authorizedService=mail@talax.startrek.in,uid=adminuser,ou=People,dc=foo
belongsToAdmin: yes
...
objectClass: person
## branch for email service of rinax.startrek.in domain object
dn: authorizedService=mail(a)rinax.startrek.in,uid=adminuser,ou=People,dc=foo
belongsToAdmin: yes
...
objectClass: person
## email service of rinax.startrek.in domain object
dn:
uid=alixia@rinax.startrek.in,authorizedService=mail@rinax.startrek.in,uid=adminuser,ou=People,dc=foo
belongsToAdmin: yes
...
objectClass: person
---[ LDIF 2 quotation end ]-------------------------------------------
correct?
If your admin group is defined as a standard DN-based groupOfNames
then
you could use the memberof overlay to reflect membership into an attribute
of the user entry.
it implies to provide all admin's children dn-s as member for such a group
like
---[ LDIF 3 quotation start ]-------------------------------------------
dn: cn=admin,ou=group,ou=system,dc=foo
cn: admin
member: uid=adminuser,ou=People,dc=foo
member: authorizedService=mail(a)talax.startrek.in,uid=adminuser,ou=People,dc=foo
member:
uid=neelix@talax.startrek.in,authorizedService=mail@talax.startrek.in,uid=adminuser,ou=People,dc=foo
member: authorizedService=mail(a)rinax.startrek.in,uid=adminuser,ou=People,dc=foo
member:
uid=alixia@rinax.startrek.in,authorizedService=mail@rinax.startrek.in,uid=adminuser,ou=People,dc=foo
objectClass: groupOfNames
---[ LDIF 3 quotation end ]-------------------------------------------
correct?
