5.
On the Targets tab, click This Entry to display the
dc=example,dc=com
suffix
in the target directory entry field. In the attribute table, tick the checkboxes for
the
homePhone
,
homePostalAddress
, and
userPassword
attributes.
All other checkboxes should be clear. This task is made easier if you click the
Check None button to clear the checkoxes for all attributes in the table, then
clikc the Name header to organize them alphabetically, and select the
appropriate ones.
6.
On the Hosts tab, click Add to display the Add Host Filter dialog box. In the
DNS host filter field, type
*.example.com
. Click OK to dismiss the dialog box.
7.
Click OK in the Access Control Editor window.
The new ACI is added to the ones listed in the Access Control Manager
window.
ACI “Write Subscribers”
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.
NOTE By setting this permission, you are also granting users the right to
delete attribute values.
