Did you read slapd.access(5)?  Did you read the requirements for the

allow entry addition; you need to add access to attributes to allow
their modification.

Speaking about that: how to allow entry creation while maintaining
constraints on what is being added? ie: if you want users to add entries,
but not with a specific attribute set?

Currently there's no checking for this.

It would probably be a good idea to add it. 

I'd really like to see support for that. I know a LDAP client which will
be available for interop testing of DIT structure rules pretty soon. ;-)

Ciao, Michael.

Actually I was referring more to adding the ACL check; DIT structure rules are really not the answer to this enhancement request.

I commented on this on -devel some months ago - for fine-grained delegation of admin privileges, we really need to be able to control which users can create what type of entries under cn=config.
