H3: Access Control Evaluation
When evaluating whether some requester should be given
access to an entry and/or attribute, slapd compares the entry
and/or attribute to the {{EX:<what>}} selectors given in the
configuration file. Access directives local to the current
database are examined first, followed by global access
directives. Within this priority, access directives are
examined in the order in which they appear in the config file.
Slapd stops with the first {{EX:<what>}} selector that matches the
entry and/or attribute. The corresponding access directive is
the one slapd will use to evaluate access.
Next, slapd compares the entity requesting access to the
{{EX:<who>}} selectors within the access directive selected above
in the order in which they appear. It stops with the first {{EX:<who>}}
selector that matches the requester. This determines the
access the entity requesting access has to the entry and/or
attribute.
When evaluating whether some requester should be given access to
an entry and/or attribute, slapd compares the entry and/or attribute
to the {{EX:<what>}} selectors given in the configuration file.
For each entry, access control provided in the database which holds
the entry (or the first database if not held in any database) apply
first, followed by the global access directivies. Within this
priority, access directives are examined in the order in which they
appear in the config file. Slapd stops with the first {{EX:<what>}}
selector that matches the entry and/or attribute. The corresponding
access directive is the one slapd will use to evaluate access.
Next, slapd compares the entity requesting access to the {{EX:<who>}}
selectors within the access directive selected above in the order
in which they appear. It stops with the first {{EX:<who>}} selector
that matches the requester. This determines the access the entity
requesting access has to the entry and/or attribute.
Finally, slapd compares the access granted in the selected
{{EX:<access>}} clause to the access requested by the client. If it
allows greater or equal access, access is granted. Otherwise,
{{EX:<access>}} clause to the access requested by the client. If
it allows greater or equal access, access is granted. Otherwise,
access is denied.
The order of evaluation of access directives makes their
placement in the configuration file important. If one access
directive is more specific than another in terms of the entries
it selects, it should appear first in the config file. Similarly, if
one {{EX:<who>}} selector is more specific than another it should
come first in the access directive. The access control
examples given below should help make this clear.
