Greetings,
The slapd.access man page appears to be inconsistant with the Admin
Guide which is online. In slapd.access:
# first database definition & configuration options
database <backend 1 type>
<configuration options specific to backend 1>
# subsequent database definitions & configuration options
...
Both the global configuration and each backend-specific section
can contain access information. Backend-specific access con-
trol directives are used for those entries that belong to the
backend, according to their naming context. In case no access
control directives are defined for a backend or those which are
defined are not applicable, the directives from the global con-
figuration section are then used.
In the Admin guide:
# backend definition
backend <typeA>
<backend-specific directives>
# first database definition & config directives
database <typeA>
<database-specific directives>
I believe the manpage needs to be updated with s/backend/database/ in
the paragraph cited above, assumeing that the access controls really
are database specific and not backend specific, which I would expect
and seems to be what the configuration snippet above would imply.
Thanks,
Stephen
