12
14 slapacl is used to check the behavior of slapd(8) by verifying access
15 to directory data according to the access control list directives de‐
16 fined in its configuration. It opens the slapd.conf(5) configuration
17 file or the slapd-config(5) backend, reads in the access/olcAccess di‐
18 rectives, and then parses the attr list given on the command-line; if
19 none is given, access to the entry pseudo-attribute is tested.
20
22 -b DN specify the DN which access is requested to; the corresponding
23 entry is fetched from the database, and thus it must exist. The
24 DN is also used to determine what rules apply; thus, it must be
25 in the naming context of a configured database. See also -u.
26 -d debug-level
28 enable debugging messages as defined by the specified debug-
29 level; see slapd(8) for details.
30 -D authcDN
32 specify a DN to be used as identity through the test session
33 when selecting appropriate <by> clauses in access lists.
34 -f slapd.conf
36 specify an alternative slapd.conf(5) file.
37 -F confdir
39 specify a config directory. If both -f and -F are specified,
40 the config file will be read and converted to config directory
41 format and written to the specified directory. If neither op‐
42 tion is specified, an attempt to read the default config direc‐
43 tory will be made before trying to use the default config file.
44 If a valid config directory exists then the default config file
45 is ignored.
46 -o option[=value]
48 Specify an option with a(n optional) value. Possible generic
49 options/values are:
50 syslog=<subsystems> (see `-s' in slapd(8))
52 syslog-level=<level> (see `-S' in slapd(8))
53 syslog-user=<user> (see `-l' in slapd(8))
54 Possible options/values specific to slapacl are:
56 authzDN
58 domain
59 peername
60 sasl_ssf
61 sockname
62 sockurl
63 ssf
64 tls_ssf
65 transport_ssf
66 See the related fields in slapd.access(5) for details.
68 -u do not fetch the entry from the database. In this case, if the
70 entry does not exist, a fake entry with the DN given with the -b
71 option is used, with no attributes. As a consequence, those
72 rules that depend on the contents of the target object will not
73 behave as with the real object. The DN given with the -b option
74 is still used to select what rules apply; thus, it must be in
75 the naming context of a configured database. See also -b.
76 -U authcID
78 specify an ID to be mapped to a DN as by means of authz-regexp
79 or authz-rewrite rules (see slapd.conf(5) for details); mutually
80 exclusive with -D.
81 -v enable verbose mode.
83 -X authzID
85 specify an authorization ID to be mapped to a DN as by means of
86 authz-regexp or authz-rewrite rules (see slapd.conf(5) for de‐
87 tails); mutually exclusive with -o authzDN=DN.

90 The command
91 /usr/sbin/slapacl -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf -v \
93 -U bjorn -b "o=University of Michigan,c=US" \
94 "o/read:University of Michigan"
95 tests whether the user bjorn can access the attribute o of the entry
97 o=University of Michigan,c=US at read level.
