I am trying to create a sync agreement between an AD server and a 389 directory server. I am following the "Red Hat Directory Server 8.1 Administration Guide" The Guide instruct you to create a sync user under cn=config like this: dn: cn=sync user,cn=config objectClass: inetorgperson objectClass: person objectClass: top cn: sync user sn: SU userPassword: secret passwordExpirationTime: 20380119031407Z I added the user using an ldif file: [root at directory ~]# cat syncuser.ldif dn: cn=sync user,cn=config changetype: add objectClass: inetorgperson objectClass: person objectClass: top cn: sync user sn: syncuser userPassword: secret passwordExpirationTime: 20380119031407Z It also says that you should create an ACI rule so that it cam write to the userPassword attribute: aci: (target="ldap:///cn=sync%20user,cn=config";) (targetattr="userPassword")(version 3.0;acl "aci1";allow (write,compare) userdn=all;) I figured this must be wrong since the target should contain the replicated tree and the userdn should be the binddn for the sync user. Correct me if I am wrong. I did try to use the above aci but also didn't work. Anyway I modified the aci such as: [root at directory ~]# /usr/lib/mozldap/ldapsearch -b dc=example,dc=com -h localhost -p 389 -D "cn=directory manager" -w - \(aci=*\) aci | grep -B 1 -C 1 Sync Enter bind password: aci: (target="ldap:///dc=example,dc=com";)(targetattr="userPassword") (version 3.0;acl "Sync Pass User";allow (write,compare) userdn="ldap:///cn=sync%20user,cn=config";;)" Is the above ACI correct? There must be something wrong since when I try to change the password of a normal user I get the "Insufficient access rights" error: [root at directory ~]# /usr/lib/mozldap/ldappasswd -v -Z -P /etc/dirsrv/slapd-directory/cert8.db -K /etc/dirsrv/slapd-directory/key3.db -D "cn=sync user,cn=config" uid=pre_user1,ou=People,dc=example.com -w - Enter bind password: ldappasswd: started Tue Jan 12 11:46:28 2010 ldap_init( localhost, 389 ) ldaptool_getcertpath -- /etc/dirsrv/slapd-directory/cert8.db ldaptool_getkeypath -- /etc/dirsrv/slapd-directory/key3.db ldaptool_getmodpath -- (null) ldaptool_getdonglefilename -- (null) ldappasswd: Insufficient access ldappasswd: additional info: Insufficient access rights Any help/ideas would be highly appreciated! Thanks
