NAME         top

       slapd.access - access configuration for slapd, the stand-alone
       LDAP daemon

SYNOPSIS         top

       ETCDIR/slapd.conf

DESCRIPTION         top

       The slapd.conf(5) file contains configuration information for the
       slapd(8) daemon. This configuration file is also used by the SLAPD
       tools slapacl(8), slapadd(8), slapauth(8), slapcat(8), slapdn(8),
       slapindex(8), slapmodify(8), and slaptest(8).

       The slapd.conf file consists of a series of global configuration
       options that apply to slapd as a whole (including all backends),
       followed by zero or more database backend definitions that contain
       information specific to a backend instance.

       The general format of slapd.conf is as follows:

           # comment - these options apply to every database
           <global configuration options>
           # first database definition & configuration options
           database    <backend 1 type>
           <configuration options specific to backend 1>
           # subsequent database definitions & configuration options
           ...

       Both the global configuration and each backend-specific section
       can contain access information.  Backend-specific access control
       directives are used for those entries that belong to the backend,
       according to their naming context.  In case no access control
       directives are defined for a backend or those which are defined
       are not applicable, the directives from the global configuration
       section are then used.

       If no access controls are present, the default policy allows
       anyone and everyone to read anything but restricts updates to
       rootdn.  (e.g., "access to * by * read").

       When dealing with an access list, because the global access list
       is effectively appended to each per-database list, if the
       resulting list is non-empty then the access list will end with an
       implicit access to * by * none directive. If there are no access
       directives applicable to a backend, then a default read is used.

       Be warned: the rootdn can always read and write EVERYTHING!

       For entries not held in any backend (such as a root DSE), the
       global directives are used.

       Arguments that should be replaced by actual text are shown in
       brackets <>.

THE ACCESS DIRECTIVE         top

       The structure of the access control directives is

       access to <what> [ by <who> [ <access> ] [ <control> ] ]+
              Grant access (specified by <access>) to a set of entries
              and/or attributes (specified by <what>) by one or more
              requestors (specified by <who>).

       Lists of access directives are evaluated in the order they appear
       in slapd.conf.  When a <what> clause matches the datum whose
       access is being evaluated, its <who> clause list is checked.  When
       a <who> clause matches the accessor's properties, its <access> and
       <control> clauses are evaluated.

       Access control checking stops at the first match of the <what> and
       <who> clause, unless otherwise dictated by the <control> clause.
       Each <who> clause list is implicitly terminated by a

            by * none stop

       <control> clause.  This implicit <control> stops access directive
       evaluation with no more access privileges granted to anyone else.
       To stop access directive evaluation only when both <who> and
       <what> match, add an explicit

            by * break

       to the end of the <who> clause list.

       Each <what> clause list is implicitly terminated by a

            access to *
                 by * none

       clause that results in granting no access privileges to an
       otherwise unspecified datum.

THE <WHAT> FIELD         top

       The field <what> specifies the entity the access control directive
       applies to.  It can have the forms

            dn[.<dnstyle>]=<dnpattern>
            filter=<ldapfilter>
            attrs=<attrlist>[ val[/matchingRule][.<attrstyle>]=<attrval>]

       with

            <dnstyle>={{exact|base(object)}|regex
                 |one(level)|sub(tree)|children}
            <attrlist>={<attr>|[{!|@}]<objectClass>}[,<attrlist>]
            <attrstyle>={{exact|base(object)}|regex
                 |one(level)|sub(tree)|children}

       The statement dn=<dnpattern> selects the entries based on their
       naming context.  The <dnpattern> is a string representation of the
       entry's DN.  The wildcard * stands for all the entries, and it is
       implied if no dn form is given.

       The <dnstyle> is optional; however, it is recommended to specify
       it to avoid ambiguities.  Base (synonym of baseObject), the
       default, or exact (an alias of base) indicates the entry whose DN
       is equal to the <dnpattern>; one (synonym of onelevel) indicates
       all the entries immediately below the <dnpattern>, sub (synonym of
       subtree) indicates all entries in the subtree at the <dnpattern>,
       children indicates all the entries below (subordinate to) the
       <dnpattern>.

       If the <dnstyle> qualifier is regex, then <dnpattern> is a POSIX
       (''extended'') regular expression pattern, as detailed in regex(7)
       and/or re_format(7), matching a normalized string representation
       of the entry's DN.  The regex form of the pattern does not (yet)
       support UTF-8.

       The statement filter=<ldapfilter> selects the entries based on a
       valid LDAP filter as described in RFC 4515.  A filter of
       (objectClass=*) is implied if no filter form is given.

       The statement attrs=<attrlist> selects the attributes the access
       control rule applies to.  It is a comma-separated list of
       attribute types, plus the special names entry, indicating access
       to the entry itself, and children, indicating access to the
       entry's children. ObjectClass names may also be specified in this
       list, which will affect all the attributes that are required
       and/or allowed by that objectClass.  Actually, names in <attrlist>
       that are prefixed by @ are directly treated as objectClass names.
       A name prefixed by !  is also treated as an objectClass, but in
       this case the access rule affects the attributes that are not
       required nor allowed by that objectClass.  If no attrs form is
       given, attrs=@extensibleObject is implied, i.e. all attributes are
       addressed.

       Using the form attrs=<attr>
       val[/matchingRule][.<attrstyle>]=<attrval> specifies access to a
       particular value of a single attribute.  In this case, only a
       single attribute type may be given. The <attrstyle> exact (the
       default) uses the attribute's equality matching rule to compare
       the value, unless a different (and compatible) matching rule is
       specified. If the <attrstyle> is regex, the provided value is used
       as a POSIX (''extended'') regular expression pattern.  If the
       attribute has DN syntax, the <attrstyle> can be any of base,
       onelevel, subtree or children, resulting in base, onelevel,
       subtree or children match, respectively.

       The dn, filter, and attrs statements are additive; they can be
       used in sequence to select entities the access rule applies to
       based on naming context, value and attribute type simultaneously.
       Submatches resulting from regex matching can be dereferenced in
       the <who> field using the syntax ${v<n>}, where <n> is the
       submatch number.  The default syntax, $<n>, is actually an alias
       for ${d<n>}, that corresponds to dereferencing submatches from the
       dnpattern portion of the <what> field.

THE <WHO> FIELD         top

       The field <who> indicates whom the access rules apply to.
       Multiple <who> statements can appear in an access control
       statement, indicating the different access privileges to the same
       resource that apply to different accessee.  It can have the forms

            *
            anonymous
            users
            self[.<selfstyle>]

            dn[.<dnstyle>[,<modifier>]]=<DN>
            dnattr=<attrname>

            realanonymous
            realusers
            realself[.<selfstyle>]

            realdn[.<dnstyle>[,<modifier>]]=<DN>
            realdnattr=<attrname>

            group[/<objectclass>[/<attrname>]]
                 [.<groupstyle>]=<group>
            peername[.<peernamestyle>]=<peername>
            sockname[.<style>]=<sockname>
            domain[.<domainstyle>[,<modifier>]]=<domain>
            sockurl[.<style>]=<sockurl>
            set[.<setstyle>]=<pattern>

            ssf=<n>
            transport_ssf=<n>
            tls_ssf=<n>
            sasl_ssf=<n>

            dynacl/<name>[/<options>][.<dynstyle>][=<pattern>]

       with

            <style>={exact|regex|expand}
            <selfstyle>={level{<n>}}
            <dnstyle>={{exact|base(object)}|regex
                 |one(level)|sub(tree)|children|level{<n>}}
            <groupstyle>={exact|expand}
            <peernamestyle>={<style>|ip|ipv6|path}
            <domainstyle>={exact|regex|sub(tree)}
            <setstyle>={exact|expand}
            <modifier>={expand}
            <name>=aci          <pattern>=<attrname>]

       They may be specified in combination.

       The wildcard * refers to everybody.

       The keywords prefixed by real act as their counterparts without
       prefix; the checking respectively occurs with the authentication
       DN and the authorization DN.

       The keyword anonymous means access is granted to unauthenticated
       clients; it is mostly used to limit access to authentication
       resources (e.g. the userPassword attribute) to unauthenticated
       clients for authentication purposes.

       The keyword users means access is granted to authenticated
       clients.

       The keyword self means access to an entry is allowed to the entry
       itself (e.g. the entry being accessed and the requesting entry
       must be the same).  It allows the level{<n>} style, where <n>
       indicates what ancestor of the DN is to be used in matches.  A
       positive value indicates that the <n>-th ancestor of the user's DN
       is to be considered; a negative value indicates that the <n>-th
       ancestor of the target is to be considered.  For example, a "by
       self.level{1} ..." clause would match when the object
       "dc=example,dc=com" is accessed by "cn=User,dc=example,dc=com".  A
       "by self.level{-1} ..." clause would match when the same user
       accesses the object "ou=Address Book,cn=User,dc=example,dc=com".

       The statement dn=<DN> 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 style
       can exploit substring substitution of submatches in the <what>
       dn.regex clause by using the form $<digit>, with digit ranging
       from 0 to 9 (where 0 matches the entire string), or the form
       ${<digit>+}, for submatches higher than 9.  Substring substitution
       from attribute value can be done in using the form ${v<digit>+}.
       Since the dollar character is used to indicate a substring
       replacement, the dollar character that is used to indicate match
       up to the end of the string must be escaped by a second dollar
       character, e.g.

           access to dn.regex="^(.+,)?uid=([^,]+),dc=[^,]+,dc=com$"
               by dn.regex="^uid=$2,dc=[^,]+,dc=com$$" write

       The style qualifier allows an optional modifier.  At present, the
       only type allowed is expand, which causes substring substitution
       of submatches to take place even if dnstyle is not regex.  Note
       that the regex dnstyle in the above example may be of use only if
       the <by> clause needs to be a regex; otherwise, if the value of
       the second (from the right) dc= portion of the DN in the above
       example were fixed, the form

           access to dn.regex="^(.+,)?uid=([^,]+),dc=example,dc=com$"
               by dn.exact,expand="uid=$2,dc=example,dc=com" write

       could be used; if it had to match the value in the <what> clause,
       the form

           access to dn.regex="^(.+,)?uid=([^,]+),dc=([^,]+),dc=com$"
               by dn.exact,expand="uid=$2,dc=$3,dc=com" write

       could be used.

       Forms of the <what> clause other than regex may provide submatches
       as well.  The base(object), the sub(tree), the one(level), and the
       children forms provide $0 as the match of the entire string.  The
       sub(tree), the one(level), and the children forms also provide $1
       as the match of the rightmost part of the DN as defined in the
       <what> clause.  This may be useful, for instance, to provide
       access to all the ancestors of a user by defining

           access to dn.subtree="dc=com"
               by dn.subtree,expand="$1" read

       which means that only access to entries that appear in the DN of
       the <by> clause is allowed.

       The level{<n>} form is an extension and a generalization of the
       onelevel form, which matches all DNs whose <n>-th ancestor is the
       pattern.  So, level{1} is equivalent to onelevel, and level{0} is
       equivalent to base.

       It is perfectly useless to give any access privileges to a DN that
       exactly matches the rootdn of the database the ACLs apply to,
       because it implicitly possesses write privileges for the entire
       tree of that database.  Actually, access control is bypassed for
       the rootdn, to solve the intrinsic chicken-and-egg problem.

       The statement dnattr=<attrname> means that access is granted to
       requests whose DN is listed in the entry being accessed under the
       <attrname> attribute.

       The statement group=<group> means that access is granted to
       requests whose DN is listed in the group entry whose DN is given
       by <group>.  The optional parameters <objectclass> and <attrname>
       define the objectClass and the member attributeType of the group
       entry.  The defaults are groupOfNames and member, respectively.
       The optional style qualifier <style> can be expand, which means
       that <group> will be expanded as a replacement string (but not as
       a regular expression) according to regex(7) and/or re_format(7),
       and exact, which means that exact match will be used.  If the
       style of the DN portion of the <what> clause is regex, the
       submatches are made available according to regex(7) and/or
       re_format(7); other styles provide limited submatches as discussed
       above about the DN form of the <by> clause.

       For static groups, the specified attributeType must have
       DistinguishedName or NameAndOptionalUID syntax. For dynamic groups
       the attributeType must be a subtype of the labeledURI
       attributeType. Only LDAP URIs of the form
       ldap:///<base>??<scope>?<filter> will be evaluated in a dynamic
       group, by searching the local server only.

       The statements peername=<peername>, sockname=<sockname>,
       domain=<domain>, and sockurl=<sockurl> mean that the contacting
       host IP (in the form IP=<ip>:<port> for IPv4, or
       IP=[<ipv6>]:<port> for IPv6) or the contacting host named pipe
       file name (in the form PATH=<path> if connecting through a named
       pipe) for peername, the named pipe file name for sockname, the
       contacting host name for domain, and the contacting URL for
       sockurl are compared against pattern to determine access.  The
       same style rules for pattern match described for the group case
       apply, plus the regex style, which implies submatch expand and
       regex match of the corresponding connection parameters.  The exact
       style of the <peername> clause (the default) implies a case-exact
       match on the client's IP, including the IP= prefix and the
       trailing :<port>, or the client's path, including the PATH= prefix
       if connecting through a named pipe.  The special ip style
       interprets the pattern as <peername>=<ip>[%<mask>][{<n>}], where
       <ip> and <mask> are dotted digit representations of the IP and the
       mask, while <n>, delimited by curly brackets, is an optional port.
       The same applies to IPv6 addresses when the special ipv6 style is
       used.  When checking access privileges, the IP portion of the
       peername is extracted, eliminating the IP= prefix and the :<port>
       part, and it is compared against the <ip> portion of the pattern
       after masking with <mask>: ((peername & <mask>) == <ip>).  As an
       example, peername.ip=127.0.0.1 and peername.ipv6=::1 allow
       connections only from localhost,
       peername.ip=192.168.1.0%255.255.255.0 allows connections from any
       IP in the 192.168.1 class C domain, and
       peername.ip=192.168.1.16%255.255.255.240{9009} allows connections
       from any IP in the 192.168.1.[16-31] range of the same domain,
       only if port 9009 is used.  The special path style eliminates the
       PATH= prefix from the peername when connecting through a named
       pipe, and performs an exact match on the given pattern.  The
       <domain> clause also allows the subtree style, which succeeds when
       a fully qualified name exactly matches the domain pattern, or its
       trailing part, after a dot, exactly matches the domain pattern.
       The expand style is allowed, implying an exact match with submatch
       expansion; the use of expand as a style modifier is considered
       more appropriate.  As an example, domain.subtree=example.com will
       match www.example.com, but will not match www.anotherexample.com.
       The domain of the contacting host is determined by performing a
       DNS reverse lookup.  As this lookup can easily be spoofed, use of
       the domain statement is strongly discouraged.  By default, reverse
       lookups are disabled.  The optional domainstyle qualifier of the
       <domain> clause allows a modifier option; the only value currently
       supported is expand, which causes substring substitution of
       submatches to take place even if the domainstyle is not regex,
       much like the analogous usage in <dn> clause.

       The statement set=<pattern> is undocumented yet.

       The statement dynacl/<name>[/<options>][.<dynstyle>][=<pattern>]
       means that access checking is delegated to the admin-defined
       method indicated by <name>, which can be registered at run-time by
       means of the moduleload statement.  The fields <options>,
       <dynstyle> and <pattern> are optional, and are directly passed to
       the registered parsing routine.  Dynacl is experimental; it must
       be enabled at compile time.

       The statement dynacl/aci[=<attrname>] means that the access
       control is determined by the values in the attrname of the entry
       itself.  The optional <attrname> indicates what attributeType
       holds the ACI information in the entry.  By default, the
       OpenLDAPaci operational attribute is used.  ACIs are experimental;
       they must be enabled at compile time.

       The statements ssf=<n>, transport_ssf=<n>, tls_ssf=<n>, and
       sasl_ssf=<n> set the minimum required Security Strength Factor
       (ssf) needed to grant access.  The value should be positive
       integer.

THE <ACCESS> FIELD         top

       The optional field <access> ::= [[real]self]{<level>|<priv>}
       determines the access level or the specific access privileges the
       who field will have.  Its component are defined as

            <level> ::= none|disclose|auth|compare|search|read|{write|add|delete}|manage
            <priv> ::= {=|+|-}{0|d|x|c|s|r|{w|a|z}|m}+

       The modifier self allows special operations like having a certain
       access level or privilege only in case the operation involves the
       name of the user that's requesting the access.  It implies the
       user that requests access is authorized.  The modifier realself
       refers to the authenticated DN as opposed to the authorized DN of
       the self modifier.  An example is the selfwrite access to the
       member attribute of a group, which allows one to add/delete its
       own DN from the member list of a group, while being not allowed to
       affect other members.

       The level access model relies on an incremental interpretation of
       the access privileges.  The possible levels are none, disclose,
       auth, compare, search, read, write, and manage.  Each access level
       implies all the preceding ones, thus manage grants all access
       including administrative access. This access allows some
       modifications which would otherwise be prohibited by the LDAP data
       model or the directory schema, e.g. changing the structural
       objectclass of an entry, or modifying an operational attribute
       that is defined as not user modifiable.  The write access is
       actually the combination of add and delete, which respectively
       restrict the write privilege to add or delete the specified
       <what>.

       The none access level disallows all access including disclosure on
       error.

       The disclose access level allows disclosure of information on
       error.

       The auth access level means that one is allowed access to an
       attribute to perform authentication/authorization operations (e.g.
       bind) with no other access.  This is useful to grant
       unauthenticated clients the least possible access level to
       critical resources, like passwords.

       The priv access model relies on the explicit setting of access
       privileges for each clause.  The = sign resets previously defined
       accesses; as a consequence, the final access privileges will be
       only those defined by the clause.  The + and - signs add/remove
       access privileges to the existing ones.  The privileges are m for
       manage, w for write, a for add, z for delete, r for read, s for
       search, c for compare, x for authentication, and d for disclose.
       More than one of the above privileges can be added in one
       statement.  0 indicates no privileges and is used only by itself
       (e.g., +0).  Note that +az is equivalent to +w.

       If no access is given, it defaults to +0.

THE <CONTROL> FIELD         top

       The optional field <control> controls the flow of access rule
       application.  It can have the forms

            stop
            continue
            break

       where stop, the default, means access checking stops in case of
       match.  The other two forms are used to keep on processing access
       clauses.  In detail, the continue form allows for other <who>
       clauses in the same <access> clause to be considered, so that they
       may result in incrementally altering the privileges, while the
       break form allows for other <access> clauses that match the same
       target to be processed.  Consider the (silly) example

            access to dn.subtree="dc=example,dc=com" attrs=cn
                 by * =cs break

            access to dn.subtree="ou=People,dc=example,dc=com"
                 by * +r

       which allows search and compare privileges to everybody under the
       "dc=example,dc=com" tree, with the second rule allowing also read
       in the "ou=People" subtree, or the (even more silly) example

            access to dn.subtree="dc=example,dc=com" attrs=cn
                 by * =cs continue
                 by users +r

       which grants everybody search and compare privileges, and adds
       read privileges to authenticated clients.

       One useful application is to easily grant write privileges to an
       updatedn that is different from the rootdn.  In this case, since
       the updatedn needs write access to (almost) all data, one can use

            access to *
                 by dn.exact="cn=The Update DN,dc=example,dc=com" write
                 by * break

       as the first access rule.  As a consequence, unless the operation
       is performed with the updatedn identity, control is passed
       straight to the subsequent rules.

OPERATION REQUIREMENTS         top

       Operations require different privileges on different portions of
       entries.  The following summary applies to primary MDB database
       backend. Requirements for other backends may (and often do)
       differ.

       The add operation requires add (=a) privileges on the pseudo-
       attribute entry of the entry being added, and add (=a) privileges
       on the pseudo-attribute children of the entry's parent.  When
       adding the suffix entry of a database, add access to children of
       the empty DN ("") is required. Also if Add content ACL checking
       has been configured on the database (see the slapd.conf(5) or
       slapd-config(5) manual page), add (=a) will be required on all of
       the attributes being added.

       The bind operation, when credentials are stored in the directory,
       requires auth (=x) privileges on the attribute the credentials are
       stored in (usually userPassword).

       The compare operation requires compare (=c) privileges on the
       attribute that is being compared.

       The delete operation requires delete (=z) privileges on the
       pseudo-attribute entry of the entry being deleted, and delete (=d)
       privileges on the children pseudo-attribute of the entry's parent.

       The modify operation requires write (=w) privileges on the
       attributes being modified.  In detail, add (=a) is required to add
       new values, delete (=z) is required to delete existing values, and
       both delete and add (=az), or write (=w), are required to replace
       existing values.

       The modrdn operation requires write (=w) privileges on the pseudo-
       attribute entry of the entry whose relative DN is being modified,
       delete (=z) privileges on the pseudo-attribute children of the old
       entry's parents, add (=a) privileges on the pseudo-attribute
       children of the new entry's parents, and add (=a) privileges on
       the attributes that are present in the new relative DN.  Delete
       (=z) privileges are also required on the attributes that are
       present in the old relative DN if deleteoldrdn is set to 1.

       The search operation, requires search (=s) privileges on the entry
       pseudo-attribute of the searchBase (NOTE: this was introduced with
       OpenLDAP 2.4).  Then, for each entry, it requires search (=s)
       privileges on the attributes that are defined in the filter.  The
       resulting entries are finally tested for read (=r) privileges on
       the pseudo-attribute entry (for read access to the entry itself)
       and for read (=r) access on each value of each attribute that is
       requested.  Also, for each referral object used in generating
       continuation references, the operation requires read (=r) access
       on the pseudo-attribute entry (for read access to the referral
       object itself), as well as read (=r) access to the attribute
       holding the referral information (generally the ref attribute).

       Some internal operations and some controls require specific access
       privileges.

       The SASL authzID mapping and the LDAP proxyAuthz control require
       auth (=x) privileges on all the attributes that are present in the
       search filter of the URI regexp maps (the right-hand side of the
       authz-regexp directives).  Auth (=x) privileges are also required
       on the authzTo attribute of the authorizing identity and/or on the
       authzFrom attribute of the authorized identity.  In both cases, it
       is the authorizing identity that requires the privileges (i.e. the
       identity that has authenticated and is now trying to do some
       operation using another entity's permissions).

       In general, when an internal lookup is performed for
       authentication or authorization purposes, search-specific
       privileges (see the access requirements for the search operation
       illustrated above) are relaxed to auth.

       Access control to search entries is checked by the frontend, so it
       is fully honored by all backends; for all other operations and for
       the discovery phase of the search operation, full ACL semantics is
       only supported by the primary backends, i.e.  slapd-mdb(5).

       Some other backend, like slapd-sql(5), may fully support them;
       others may only support a portion of the described semantics, or
       even differ in some aspects.  The relevant details are described
       in the backend-specific man pages.

CAVEATS         top

       It is strongly recommended to explicitly use the most appropriate
       <dnstyle> in <what> and <who> clauses, to avoid possible incorrect
       specifications of the access rules as well as for performance
       (avoid unnecessary regex matching when an exact match suffices)
       reasons.

       An administrator might create a rule of the form:

            access to dn.regex="dc=example,dc=com"
                 by ...

       expecting it to match all entries in the subtree
       "dc=example,dc=com".  However, this rule actually matches any DN
       which contains anywhere the substring "dc=example,dc=com".  That
       is, the rule matches both "uid=joe,dc=example,dc=com" and
       "dc=example,dc=com,uid=joe".

       To match the desired subtree, the rule would be more precisely
       written:

            access to dn.regex="^(.+,)?dc=example,dc=com$"
                 by ...

       For performance reasons, it would be better to use the subtree
       style.

            access to dn.subtree="dc=example,dc=com"
                 by ...

       When writing submatch rules, it may be convenient to avoid
       unnecessary regex <dnstyle> use; for instance, to allow access to
       the subtree of the user that matches the <what> clause, one could
       use

            access to dn.regex="^(.+,)?uid=([^,]+),dc=example,dc=com$"
                 by dn.regex="^uid=$2,dc=example,dc=com$$" write
                 by ...

       However, since all that is required in the <by> clause is
       substring expansion, a more efficient solution is

            access to dn.regex="^(.+,)?uid=([^,]+),dc=example,dc=com$"
                 by dn.exact,expand="uid=$2,dc=example,dc=com" write
                 by ...

       In fact, while a <dnstyle> of regex implies substring expansion,
       exact, as well as all the other DN specific <dnstyle> values, does
       not, so it must be explicitly requested.
