RE: I can't seem to find the answer to these olcAccess questions

["Nick Gray" <nick@graysaustin.com>]

I read the man page, but I guess I understood that the first rule only
matched everything as a far as "what" to access. I thought it went what,
who, permissions

My intent was to enable both of these to work.

Access to all
dn.base="gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth" manage and
access to all dn.base=" cn=Manager,dc=local,dc=bob,dc=com" to manage as well

The first one I am using, I guess as intended from the command line, and the
second I would use from the command line as well, in a tool, etc.

What would that ruleset look like?

The rules on your config database are:

olcAccess: {0} to * by
dn.base="gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth" manage
olcAccess: {1} to * by dn="cn=Manager,dc=local,dc=bob,dc=com" manage


The first matches everything (*), so the second is never consulted.
