Re: access control



hi,
 
    ldapmodify -b -r -D "cn=paul, o=cranfield, c=uk" -w password -f /usr/local/myldif
 
     I think not "password" but "data".
     
     best,

Subject: access control

 
I have ldap up and running and thought i understood how it was all working but access control has me stumped all i want to do is lock down the infomation so that users can only edit there own records.  Later it would be handy to have different people being able to see different aspects i.e outside cranfield would only get name and e-mail.  However i can't see to make it work.
 
If i try to modify my record (ldif file)
 
dn: cn=paul d , o=cranfield, c=uk
cn: paul d
sn: burnet
objectclass: person
givenname: jase
userPassword: data
to change the givenname : using
 
ldapmodify -b -r -D "cn=paul, o=cranfield, c=uk" -w password -f /usr/local/myldif
 
     I think not "password" but "data".
 
i get insufficient access problems.
 
where am i going wrong there just seems to be no information out there on access control
 
my slapd.conf is below
