+.B authz-policy <policy>
+Used to specify which rules to use for Proxy Authorization. Proxy
+authorization allows a client to authenticate to the server using one
+user's credentials, but specify a different identity to use for authorization
+and access control purposes. It essentially allows user A to login as user
+B, using user A's password.
+The
+.B none
+flag disables proxy authorization. This is the default setting.
+The
+.B from
+flag will use rules in the
+.I authzFrom
+attribute of the authorization DN.
+The
+.B to
+flag will use rules in the
+.I authzTo
+attribute of the authentication DN.
+The
+.B any
+flag, an alias for the deprecated value of
+.BR both ,
+will allow any of the above, whatever succeeds first (checked in
+.BR to ,
+.B from
+sequence.
+The
+.B all
+flag requires both authorizations to succeed.
+.LP
+.RS
+The rules are mechanisms to specify which identities are allowed
+to perform proxy authorization.
+The
+.I authzFrom
+attribute in an entry specifies which other users
+are allowed to proxy login to this entry. The
+.I authzTo
+attribute in
+an entry specifies which other users this user can authorize as. Use of
+.I authzTo
+rules can be easily
+abused if users are allowed to write arbitrary values to this attribute.
+In general the
+.I authzTo
+attribute must be protected with ACLs such that
+only privileged users can modify it.
+The value of
+.I authzFrom
+and
+.I authzTo
+describes an
+.B identity
+or a set of identities; it can take three forms:

+The first form is a valid LDAP

+where the

+the
+.I <attrs>
+and the
+.I <extensions>
+portions must be absent, so that the search occurs locally on either
+.I authzFrom
+or
+.IR authzTo .
+The second form is a
+.BR DN ,
+with the optional style modifiers
+.IR exact ,
+.IR onelevel ,
+.IR children ,
+and
+.I subtree
+for exact, onelevel, children and subtree matches, which cause
+.I <pattern>
+to be normalized according to the DN normalization rules, or the special
+.I regex
+style, which causes the
+.I <pattern>
+to be treated as a POSIX (''extended'') regular expression, as
+discussed in
+.BR regex (7)
+and/or
+.BR re_format (7).
+A pattern of
+.I *
+means any non-anonymous DN.
+The third form is a SASL
+.BR id ,
+with the optional fields
+.I <mech>
+and
+.I <realm>
+that allow to specify a SASL
+.BR mechanism ,
+and eventually a SASL
+.BR realm ,
+for those mechanisms that support one.
+The need to allow the specification of a mechanism is still debated,
+and users are strongly discouraged to rely on this possibility.
+The fourth form is a group specification, consisting of the keyword
+.BR group ,
+optionally followed by the specification of the group
+.B objectClass
+and member
+.BR attributeType .
+The group with DN
+.B <pattern>
+is searched with base scope, and in case of match, the values of the
+member
+.B attributeType
+are searched for the asserted DN.
+For backwards compatibility, if no identity type is provided, i.e. only
+.B <pattern>
+is present, an
+.I exact DN
+is assumed; as a consequence,
+.B <pattern>
+is subjected to DN normalization.
+Since the interpretation of
+.I authzFrom
+and
+.I authzTo
+can impact security, users are strongly encouraged
+to explicitly set the type of identity specification that is being used.
+A subset of these rules can be used as third arg in the
+.B authz-regexp
+statement (see below); significantly, the
+.I URI
+and the
+.I dn.exact:<dn>
+forms.
+.RE
+.TP
+.B authz-regexp <match> <replace>
+Used by the authentication framework to convert simple user names,
+such as provided by SASL subsystem, to an LDAP DN used for
+authorization purposes. Note that the resultant DN need not refer
+to an existing entry to be considered valid. When an authorization
+request is received from the SASL subsystem, the SASL
+.BR USERNAME ,
+.BR REALM ,
+and
+.B MECHANISM
+are taken, when available, and combined into a name of the form
+.RS
+.RS
+.TP
+.B UID=<username>[[,CN=<realm>],CN=<mechanism>],CN=auth
+
+.RE
+This name is then compared against the
+.B match
+POSIX (''extended'') regular expression, and if the match is successful,
+the name is replaced with the
+.B replace
+string. If there are wildcard strings in the
+.B match
+regular expression that are enclosed in parenthesis, e.g.
+.RS
+.TP
+.B UID=([^,]*),CN=.*
+
+.RE
+then the portion of the name that matched the wildcard will be stored
+in the numbered placeholder variable $1. If there are other wildcard strings
+in parenthesis, the matching strings will be in $2, $3, etc. up to $9. The
+placeholders can then be used in the
+.B replace
+string, e.g.
+.RS
+.TP
+.B UID=$1,OU=Accounts,DC=example,DC=com
+
+.RE
+The replaced name can be either a DN, i.e. a string prefixed by "dn:",
+or an LDAP URI.
+If the latter, the server will use the URI to search its own database(s)
+and, if the search returns exactly one entry, the name is
+replaced by the DN of that entry. The LDAP URI must have no
+hostport, attrs, or extensions components, but the filter is mandatory,
+e.g.
+.RS
+.TP
+.B ldap:///OU=Accounts,DC=example,DC=com??one?(UID=$1)
+
+.RE
+The protocol portion of the URI must be strictly
+.BR ldap .
+
+Multiple
+.B authz-regexp
+options can be given in the configuration file to allow for multiple matching
+and replacement patterns. The matching patterns are checked in the order they
+appear in the file, stopping at the first successful match.

+The

+The rationale behind it is that searches for non-properly indexed

+to determine whether they match the search filter or not.
+The

+limit provides a means to drop such operations before they are even

+If

+is considered an explicit request for a limitation on the number

+However, the size limit applies to the total count of entries returned within
+the search, and not to a single page.
+Additional size limits may be enforced; the syntax is
+.BR size.pr={<integer>|noEstimate|unlimited} ,
+where
+.I integer
+is the max page size if no explicit limit is set; the keyword
+.I noEstimate
+inhibits the server from returning an estimate of the total number

+(note: the current implementation does not return any estimate).
+The keyword

+indicates that no limit is applied to the pagedResults control page size.
