Hi again, since my first post may be complex, I made a much simpler sample, with standard objects. I created a root suffix 'o=bug' with two ACI: aci: (targetattr="*")(version 3.0; acl "Test"; allow (all)userattr ="description#LDAPURL";) aci: (targetattr="*")(version 3.0; acl "Test"; allow (all)userattr ="parent[1].description#LDAPURL";) Then I added a user, uid=testuser,o=bug Then, an organizationalUnit, ou=testparentobject,o=bug with the description: ldap:///o=bug??sub?(uid=testuser) According the ACIs, testuser dhould be able to modify ou=testparentobject and to create child objects under it. But he only can modify it. I don't find where I made a mistake. I join you my LDIF files and LDAP commands. Thank you for your help Fran?ois Here are the LDIF files : ---------- o=bug dump ------- dn: o=bug aci: (targetattr != "userPassword") (version 3.0; acl "Anonymous access"; allow (read, search, compare)userdn = "ldap:///anyone";) aci: (targetattr="*")(version 3.0; acl "Test"; allow (all)userattr ="description#LDAPURL";) aci: (targetattr="*")(version 3.0; acl "Test"; allow (all)userattr ="parent[1].description#LDAPURL";) o: bug objectClass: top objectClass: organization dn: uid=testuser,o=bug uid: testuser givenName: Test objectClass: top objectClass: person objectClass: organizationalPerson objectClass: inetorgperson sn: User cn: Test User userPassword: toto dn: ou=testparentobject,o=bug ou: testparentobject description: ldap:///o=bug??sub?(uid=testuser) objectClass: top objectClass: organizationalunit --------- modification command ---------- $ ldapmodify -x -D 'uid=testuser,o=bug' -w toto -f object-modification.ldif modifying entry "ou=testparentobject,o=bug" $ --------- creation command ----------- $ ldapadd -x -D 'uid=testuser,o=bug' -w toto -f object-creation.ldif adding new entry "ou=testchildobject,ou=testparentobject,o=bug" ldap_add: Insufficient access (50) additional info: Insufficient 'add' privilege to add the entry 'ou=testchildobject,ou=testparentobject,o=bug'. $ ---------- modification LDIF file ---------------- dn: ou=testparentobject,o=bug changetype: modify replace: telephoneNumber telephoneNumber: 0123456789 ---------- creation LDIF file -------------- dn: ou=testchildobject,ou=testparentobject,o=bug objectClass: top objectClass: organizationalUnit ou: testchildobject -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
