Hi,
This can be acheived using ACL sets. There is in fact an example of
exactly this use case in the admin guide!
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/access-control.html#Sets -
Granting rights based on relationships
It is noted in the documentation that sets are experimental. Just to add
a word onto that, I use sets in several production environments, and
have absolutely no stability problems.
However, depending on the sets you use, the performance hit can be
important (sets can fire off thousands of search requests just to
evaluate one ACL, if they're badly written). Also, ACLs with sets are
not cached.
Hope this helps,
Jonathan
Thanks a lot!
This should work. But unfortunately it does not :-(
My ACL looks like this now:
access to dn.sub="ou=agents,dc=myDomain"
filter=(objectclass=person)
by set="[cn=UserManagement,ou=rights,dc=myDomain]/member*" write
by self read
cn=Test,ou=agents,dc=myDomain
is a member of
cn=supervisor,ou=groups,dc=myDomain
which is a member of
cn=UserManagement,ou=rights,dc=myDomain
Test has write access to all other agents. But he still has the right
when I remove cn=supervisor... from the Usermanagement group.
Any idea why? How can I debug ACLs? Is it possible so print infos or do
something like setting breakpoints?
