Description Brian Friday 2005-03-28 01:05:17 UTC

In the LDAP Server Security Settings section there is a section with attribute=userpassword and attrs=userpassword. This is at best confusing to the reader and goes againest similiar examples shown in upstream documentation with regards to creating ACL's. All upstream docs seem to indicate that attr= is the favored usage, I can't seem to find where they depricated the attribute= acl type but it was made effective in the 2.2 tree.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.




This:

access to attribute="userPassword"
  by dn="uid=root,ou=people,dc=genfic,dc=com" write
....

Should likely be:

access to attr="userPassword"
....

http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin22/slapdconfig.html#Access%20Control indeed shows that ACLs should use the attrs= syntax. Will fix...
