What does acl-bind exactly

[General Stone <generalstone@generalstone.net>]

Hello,

what does acl-bind exactly in ldap backend (slapd-ldap)? I don't
understand the explenataion in available documentations.

The manpage says "... that is internally used by the proxy to collect
info related to access control ...", but which informations are needed
from the remote server?

Further the manpage says "The identity (...) is supposed to have read
access on the target server to attributes used on the proxy for ACL
checking ...", but which attributes are mean?

Kind regards,

Markus Martinet
