Example of a Managed Role Definition
To create a role for all marketing staff, use the following ldapmodify command:
$ ldapmodify -a -h host1 -p 1389 -D cn=admin,cn=Administrators,cn=config -w - dn: cn=Marketing,ou=marketing,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com objectclass: top objectclass: LDAPsubentry objectclass: nsRoleDefinition objectclass: nsSimpleRoleDefinition objectclass: nsManagedRoleDefinition cn: Marketing description: managed role for marketing staff |
Notice that the nsManagedRoleDefinition object class inherits from the LDAPsubentry, nsRoleDefinition, and nsSimpleRoleDefinition object classes.
Assign the role to a marketing staff member who is named Bob by updating his entry as follows:
$ ldapmodify -h host1 -p 1389 -D cn=admin,cn=Administrators,cn=config -w - dn: cn=Bob Arnold,ou=marketing,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com changetype: modify add: nsRoleDN nsRoleDN: cn=Marketing,ou=marketing,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com |
The nsRoleDN attribute indicates that the entry is a member of a managed role. The managed role is identified by the DN of its role definition. To allow users to modify their own nsRoleDN attribute, but to prevent users from adding or removing the nsManagedDisabledRole, add the following ACI:
aci: (targetattr="nsRoleDN")(targattrfilters="add=nsRoleDN: (!(nsRoleDN=cn=AdministratorRole,dc=example,dc=com)), del=nsRoleDN:(!(nsRoleDN=cn=nsManagedDisabledRole,dc=example, dc=com)") (version3.0;aci "allow mod of nsRoleDN by self except for critical values"; allow(write) userdn="ldap:///self";) |
