Hmmm ... looking at it again, the slapd.conf syntax isn't Kosher,
either.

access to dn="cn=([^,]+),ou=Users,o=ORG,c=US"
  by anonymous auth
  by dn="cn=$1,ou=Users,o=ORG,c=US" read (i.e. "by self read")
  by group="cn=Managers,ou=Users,o=ORG,c=US" write
  by * none

The above is trash, I realize, but the syntax is o.k. as an example.

The indents and paraphrazing are important - don't put comments (like I
have done) or newlines or anything else in your rules.

Best,

Tony
