Adding a prescriptiveACI for multiple user groups

[Richard Lowden <Ri...@qxlva.com>]

Hi,

I wonder if someone could point out if I'm doing anything wrong here, or if this *should* work and just doesn't.

I'm implementing an access control list by creating an accessControlSubentry class and within that class giving it a prescriptiveACI attribute which I would like to be applied to multiple userGroup instances:

...
userClasses
{
userGroup { "cn=Group 1,ou=groups,ou=system" },
userGroup { "cn=Group 2,ou=groups,ou=system" }
},
...

However, when I do this I get an error saying the following:

#!ERROR [LDAP: error code 21 - INVALID_ATTRIBUTE_SYNTAX: failed for MessageType : ADD_REQUEST Message ID : 448     Add Request : Entry     ...' for the AttributeType 'ATTRIBUTE_TYPE ( 2.5.24.4  NAME 'prescriptiveACI'  DESC Access control information that applies to a set of entries  EQUALITY directoryStringFirstComponentMatch  SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.1  USAGE directoryOperation  ) ']


If I only have one userGroup within the userClasses then it works fine, but this means that I need to split each userGroup out into its own prescriptiveACI entry, each with identical userPermissions.

Am I doing something wrong here with my userClasses definition, or can you not have more than one group?


Thanks,

Rich

The syntax is a bit different:

...
userClasses
{
userGroup { "cn=Group 1,ou=groups,ou=system", "cn=Group
2,ou=groups,ou=system" }
},
...

BTW, you can use Apache Directory Studio which has a wizard-like ACI
editor with syntax checking.

Kind Regards,
Stefan
