SLAPACL(8C) SLAPACL(8C)
slapacl - Check access to a list of attributes.
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]] [...]
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.
-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. By default, the first database that
supports the requested operation is used. 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 enable dry-run mode. Do not fetch any entries from the
database. In this case, 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 or any other database objects 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.
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.
