SLAPACL(8C)                                                      SLAPACL(8C)

NAME         top

       slapacl - Check access to a list of attributes.

SYNOPSIS         top

       SBINDIR/slapacl -b DN [-d debug-level] [-D authcDN | -U authcID]
       [-f slapd.conf] [-F confdir] [-o option[=value]] [-u] [-v]
       [-X authzID | -o  authzDN=DN] [attr[/access][:value]] [...]

DESCRIPTION         top

       slapacl is used to check the behavior of slapd(8) by verifying access
       to directory data according to the access control list directives
       defined in its configuration.  It opens the slapd.conf(5)
       configuration file or the slapd-config(5) backend, reads in the
       access/olcAccess directives, and then parses the attr list given on
       the command-line; if none is given, access to the entry pseudo-
       attribute is tested.

OPTIONS         top

       -b DN  specify the DN which access is requested to; the corresponding
              entry is fetched from the database, and thus it must exist.
              The DN is also used to determine what rules apply; thus, it
              must be in the naming context of a configured database.  See
              also -u.
       -d debug-level
              enable debugging messages as defined by the specified debug-
              level; see slapd(8) for details.
       -D authcDN
              specify a DN to be used as identity through the test session
              when selecting appropriate <by> clauses in access lists.
       -f slapd.conf
              specify an alternative slapd.conf(5) file.
       -F confdir
              specify a config directory.  If both -f and -F are specified,
              the config file will be read and converted to config directory
              format and written to the specified directory.  If neither
              option is specified, an attempt to read the default config
              directory will be made before trying to use the default config
              file. If a valid config directory exists then the default
              config file is ignored.
       -o option[=value]
              Specify an option with a(n optional) value.  Possible generic
              options/values are:
                     syslog=<subsystems>  (see `-s' in slapd(8))
                     syslog-level=<level> (see `-S' in slapd(8))
                     syslog-user=<user>   (see `-l' in slapd(8))
              Possible options/values specific to slapacl are:
                     authzDN
                     domain
                     peername
                     sasl_ssf
                     sockname
                     sockurl
                     ssf
                     tls_ssf
                     transport_ssf
              See the related fields in slapd.access(5) for details.
       -u     do not fetch the entry from the database.  In this case, if
              the entry does not exist, a fake entry with the DN given with
              the -b option is used, with no attributes.  As a consequence,
              those rules that depend on the contents of the target object
              will not behave as with the real object.  The DN given with
              the -b option is still used to select what rules apply; thus,
              it must be in the naming context of a configured database.
              See also -b.
       -U authcID
              specify an ID to be mapped to a DN as by means of authz-regexp
              or authz-rewrite rules (see slapd.conf(5) for details);
              mutually exclusive with -D.
       -v     enable verbose mode.
       -X authzID
              specify an authorization ID to be mapped to a DN as by means
              of authz-regexp or authz-rewrite rules (see slapd.conf(5) for
              details); mutually exclusive with -o authzDN=DN.

EXAMPLES         top

       The command
            SBINDIR/slapacl -f ETCDIR/slapd.conf -v \
                   -U bjorn -b "o=University of Michigan,c=US" \
                "o/read:University of Michigan"
       tests whether the user bjorn can access the attribute o of the entry
       o=University of Michigan,c=US at read level.
