user permissions

[Mike Adamson <mi...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am using apacheds 1.5.7 in embedded mode and would like to know whether it
is possible for a user to identify what permissions they have on a
particular entry.

For example, if I have an entry:

ou=properties,dc=test,dc=com

and I give this entry a subentry with a pescriptiveaci that gives user mike
read and browse access, how does user mike know that he doesn't have write
access without attempting a write and getting an error? Is there a mechanism
to get all the associated acis?

Thanks,

MikeA

Right now, there is no way but trying to apply the operation.

I think that it would be just a matter of implementing the Assertion 
Control (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4528)
