The Get Effective Rights Control

The directory server responds to the Get Effective Rights control, which can be included in a search operation. The response to this control is to return the effective rights information about the entries and attributes in the search results. This extra information includes read and write permissions for each entry and for each attribute in each entry. The permissions may be requested for the bind DN used for the search or for an arbitrary DN, allowing administrators to test the permissions of directory users.

Effective rights functionality relies on an LDAP control. To view the effective rights when going through a proxy server, you must enable this control in the proxy chaining policy. You must also ensure that the proxy identity used to bind to the remote server is also allowed to access the effective rights attributes.
