Access Control Usage Examples
Chapter 6 Managing Access Control 235
In LDIF, to grant
example.com
subscribers the right to update their password and
home telephone number, you would write the following statement:
aci: (targetattr="userPassword || homePhone") (version 3.0; acl
"Write Subscribers"; allow (write) userdn= "ldap://self" and
authmethod="ssl";)
This example assumes that the
aci
is added to the
ou=subscribers,
dc=example,dc=com
entry.
Note that
example.com
subscribers do not have write access to their home address,
because they might delete the attribute, and
example.com
needs that information
for billing. Therefore, the home address is business-critical information.
From the Console, you can set this permission by doing the following:
1.
On the Directory tab, right click the Subscribers entry under the
example.com
node in the left navigation tree, and choose Set Access Permissions from the
pop-up menu to display the Access Control Manager.
2.
Click New to display the Access Control Editor.
3.
On the Users/Groups tab, in the ACI name field, type "Write Subscribers". In
the list of users granted access permission, do the following:
a.
Select and remove All Users, then click Add.
The Add Users and Groups dialog box is displayed.
b.
Set the Search area to Special Rights, and select Self from the Search results
list.
c.
Click the Add button to list Self in the list of users who are granted access
permission.
d.
Click OK to dismiss the Add Users and Groups dialog box.
4.
On the Rights tab, tick the checkbox for write. Make sure the other checkboxes
are clear.
5.
On the Targets tab, click This Entry to display the
dc=subscribers,
dc=example,dc=com
suffix in the target directory entry field.
a.
In the filter for subentries field, type the following filter:
(!(unlistedSubscriber=yes))
