ACL to allow resolving uid@domain to a full DN?
I'm attempting to create an address book system, but I don't want to allow
full anonymous read access. With certain clients I can just put a DN
string and password in the client config, such as:
Username: uid=dan@tangledhelix.com,ou=addressbook,o=MyOrg
Password: something
And they authenticate and can view entries without trouble. Anonymous
reads are disabled, as there are those concerned about spammer harvesting.
I'm not sure I buy into that being a real threat, but it's something I have
to try to work around.
However, some clients (such as Netscape Communicator 4.x) take a
user@domain style username...
Username: dan@tangledhelix.com
Password: something
It then binds anonymously to turn that uid into a full DN, which it then
uses to bind and search. However, since I can't turn on anonymous reads
this isn't working for me at all. I've tried a number of things, but
nothing appears to work. I've read over the documentation numerous times
so I've RTFM already.
Anyone had to tackle this before, or can supply a working ACL? I've been
racking my brains against this for two days without any success...
TIA,
