Netscape Directory Server Administrator’s Guide • August 2002
Viewing the ACIs for an Entry
You can view all the ACIs under a single suffix in the directory by running the
following
ldapsearch
command:
ldapsearch -h
host
-p
port
-b
baseDN
-D
rootDN
-w
rootPassword
(aci=*) aci
See Netscape Directory Server Configuration, Command, and File Reference for
information on using the
ldapsearch
utility.
From the Console, you can view all of the ACIs that apply to a particular entry
through the Access Control Manager.
1.
In the Directory Console, on the Directory tab, right-click the entry in the
navigation tree, and select Set Access Permissions.
The Access Control Manager is displayed. It contains a list of the ACIs
belonging to the selected entry.
2.
Check the Show Inherited ACIs checkbox to display all ACIs created on entries
above the selected entry that also apply.
Advanced Access Control: Using Macro ACIs
In organizations that use repeating directory tree structures, it is possible to
optimize the number of ACIs used in the directory by using macros. Reducing the
number of ACIs in your directory tree makes it easier to manage your access
control policy, and improves the efficiency of ACI memory usage.
Macros are placeholders that are used to represent a DN, or a portion of a DN, in
an ACI. You can use a macro to represent a DN in the target portion of the ACI, or
in the bind rule portion, or both. In practice, when Directory Server gets an
incoming LDAP operation, the ACI macros are matched against the resource
targeted by the LDAP operation. If there is a match, the macro is replaced by the
value of the DN of the targeted resource. Directory Server then evaluates the ACI
normally.
NOTE
You cannot use the directory manager’s DN (Root DN) as a proxy
DN. In addition, if Directory Server receives more than one proxied
authentication control, an error is returned to the client application
and the bind attempt is unsuccessful.
