SLAPACL(8C)                                                                                      SLAPACL(8C)



NAME
       slapacl - Check access to a list of attributes.

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/slapacl  -b  DN  [-d  level]  [-D  authcDN  |  -U authcID] [-f slapd.conf] [-F confdir] [-o
       name[=value]] [-u] [-v] [-X authzID | -o authzDN=DN] [attr[/access][:value]] [...]


DESCRIPTION
       Slapacl is used to check the behavior of the slapd in verifying access to data according to ACLs,  as
       specified  in  slapd.access(5).   It  opens the slapd.conf(5) configuration file, reads in the access
       directives, and then parses the attr list given on the command-line; if none is given, access to  the
       entry pseudo-attribute is tested.


OPTIONS
       -b DN  specify the DN which access is requested to; the corresponding entry is fetched from the data-base, database,
              base, 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.  See also -u.

       -d level
              enable debugging messages as defined by the specified 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  try-ing trying
              ing 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     do not fetch the entry from the database.  In this case, if the entry does not exist,  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 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.

EXAMPLES
       The command

            /usr/sbin/slapacl -f //etc/openldap/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.
