Denying Access

If your directory holds business-critical information, you might specifically want to deny access to it. The following sample ACIs allow users to read certain "billing information", such as connection time and account balance, under their own entries, but prohibits them from changing this information.

This ACI allows users to read the information. The example assumes that the relevant attributes have been created in the schema.

aci: (targetattr="connectionTime || accountBalance")
(version 3.0; acl "Billing Info Read"; allow (search,read)
userdn="ldap:///self";)

This ACI prevents users from changing the information. The example assumes that the relevant attributes have been created in the schema.

aci: (targetattr="connectionTime || accountBalance")
(version 3.0; acl "Billing Info Deny";
deny (write) userdn="ldap:///self";)
