ACL Help Please



Hello List -

Please forgive my ignorance regarding the ACL's in OpenLDAP. For Starters
I'm using OpenLDAP Software 2.4, and I've obtained the software from
sunfreeware.com. OpenLDAP is running on a Solaris 10 Sparc system.

My goal is to have each one of my user able to read/write to their own
personal address book.
I've added my initial LDIF file, and configured slapd as best I could
understand. I can ldapadd using the root dn, and I can see all of the
entries that I added using ldapsearch. However when I try to add to my
personal entry, I receive this error.

ldapadd -D "cn=Elliott Smith,ou=users,dc=Company,dc=com" -f contact.ldif
Enter bind password: 
adding new entry cn=Nick Drake,ou=addressbook,dc=Company,dc=com
ldap_add: Insufficient access
ldap_add: additional info: no write access to parent

Below are my LDIF and slapd. I want to express that I have read through as
much of this list as I could regarding the  "no write access to parent",
and I've found many have similar issues. I feel that my setup is fairly
straight forward.

Any help is much appreciated. Let me know if you need more information.

The LDIF I used to begin...
# Initialize the suffix entry defined in slapd.conf
#
dn: dc=company,dc=com
objectclass: top
objectclass: dcObject
objectclass: organization
dc: company
o: corporate

#
# Initialize the AddressBooks heirarchy
#
dn: ou=addressbook,dc=company,dc=com
objectclass: top
objectclass: organizationalUnit
ou: addressbook

#
# Define individual address books
#
dn: o=hr,ou=addressbook,dc=company,dc=com
objectclass: top
objectclass: organization
o: hr

#
# Initialize the Users heirarchy
#
dn: ou=users,dc=company,dc=com
objectclass: top
objectclass: organizationalUnit
ou: users

#
# Define individual users
#
dn: cn=Elliott Smith,ou=users,dc=company,dc=com
objectclass: top
objectclass: person
cn: Elliott Smith
sn: Smith
userPassword: mysecret
uid: esmith


The slapd I'm using...

# Sample security restrictions

#       Require 112-bit (3DES or better) encryption for updates

# Sample access control policy:
#       Root DSE: allow anyone to read it
#       Subschema (sub)entry DSE: allow anyone to read it
#       Other DSEs:
#               Allow self write access
#               Allow authenticated users read access
#               Allow anonymous users to authenticate
#       Directives needed to implement policy:
#
#
 access to dn.regex="(.+,)?(uid=[^,]+,o=isc)$"
        by dn.exact,expand="$2" write
        by anonymous auth
# if no access controls are present, the default policy
# allows anyone and everyone to read anything but restricts
# updates to rootdn.  (e.g., "access to * by * read")
#
# rootdn can always read and write EVERYTHING!
