Re: access
Could someone help me with this?
I have the following in my slapd.conf The below part is in regards
to roaming profiles in Netscape. It works great. A user gives
password and has access to his roaming profile.
access to dn=".*,ou=Roaming,dc=amsite,dc=com" by dnattr=owner write
access to attr=userpassword
by self write
by * none
The below section is to restrict access to the directory to those in
the Employee group. this part doesn't work. I have read the slapd
and slurpd admins manual.
access to dn=".*,dc=amsite,dc=com"
by dn=".*,ou=Employee,dc=amsite,dc=com" read
by * none
I am trying to access the directory via netscape's address book. i
can search fine if I have access set to by * read
What do I have wrong?
