> Quote from the slapd.access man page:
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
> The statement dn=<pattern> means that access is granted to the matching
> DN. The optional style qualifier dnstyle allows the same choices of
> the dn form of the <what> field. In addition, the regex form of
> pattern can exploit substring substitution of submatches in the
> <what> dn.regex clause by using the form $<digit>, with digit ranging
> from 1 to 9.
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Do the submatches work for groups also. For instance, take the following:
>
> -------------------------------------------------------------
> access to dn="cn=(.+),dc=example,dc=com"
> by group.regex="cn=$1,cn=test,dc=example,dc=com" write
> by * read
>
> access to * by * read
> -------------------------------------------------------------

> If they do indeed work for group.regex, then I would expect that access

> group "cn=penguin,cn=test,dc=example,dc=com" right?
