where the <what> part selects the entries and/or attributes to which
commonly selected in two ways: by DN and by filter. The following
qualifiers select entries by DN:
-> by *
-> by dn[.<basic-style>]=<regex>
-> by dn.<scope-style>=<DN>
+> to *
+> to dn[.<basic-style>]=<regex>
+> to dn.<scope-style>=<DN>
The first form is used to select all entries. The second form may
be used to select entries by matching a regular expression against
Entries may also be selected using a filter:
-> by filter=<ldap filter>
+> to filter=<ldap filter>
where <ldap filter> is a string representation of an LDAP
search filter, as described in {{REF:RFC2254}}. For example:
-> by filter=(objectClass=person)
+> to filter=(objectClass=person)
Note that entries may be selected by both DN and filter by
including both qualifiers in the <what> clause.
-> by dn.one="ou=people,o=suffix" filter=(objectClass=person)
+> to dn.one="ou=people,o=suffix" filter=(objectClass=person)
Attributes within an entry are selected by including a comma-separated
list of attribute names in the <what> selector:
!block table; colaligns="LRL"; coltags="EX,EX,N"; align=Center; \
title="Table 5.4: Access Levels"
Level Privileges Description
-none no access
+none =0 no access
auth =x needed to bind
compare =cx needed to compare
