Bind Rules
Chapter 6 Managing Access Control 211
The bind rule is evaluated to be true if the user is accessing the entry represented
by the DN with which the user bound to the directory. That is, if the user has
bound as
uid=ssarette
,
dc=example,dc=com
and the user is attempting an
operation on the
uid=ssarette,dc=example,dc=com
entry, then the bind rule is
true.
For example, if you want to grant all users in the
example.com
tree write access to
their
userPassword
attribute, you would create the following ACI on the
dc=example,dc=com
node.
aci: (targetattr = "userPassword") (version 3.0; acl "write-self";
allow (write) userdn = "ldap:///self";)
Userdn keyword containing the all keyword:
userdn = "ldap:///all";
The bind rule is evaluated to be true for any valid bind DN. To be true, a valid
distinguished name and password must have been presented by the user during
the bind operation.
For example, if you want to grant read access to the entire tree to all authenticated
users, you would create the following ACI on the
dc=example,dc=com
node:
aci:(version 3.0; acl "all-read"; allow (read)
userdn="ldap:///all";)
Userdn keyword containing the anyone keyword:
userdn = "ldap:///anyone";
The bind rule is evaluated to be true for anyone; use this keyword to provide
anonymous access to your directory.
For example, if you want to allow anonymous read and search access to the entire
example.com
tree, you would create the following ACI on the
dc=example,dc=com
node:
aci: (version 3.0; acl "anonymous-read-search"; allow (read, search)
userdn = "ldap:///anyone";)
Userdn keyword containing the parent keyword:
userdn = "ldap:///parent";
The bind rule is evaluated to be true if the bind DN is the parent of the targeted
entry.
