.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
-.B Slapacl
-is used to check the behavior of the slapd in verifying access to data
-according to ACLs, as specified in
-.BR slapd.access (5).
+.B slapacl
+is used to check the behavior of
+.BR slapd (8)
+by verifying access to directory data according to the access control list
+directives defined in its configuration.
+.
It opens the
.BR slapd.conf (5)
-configuration file, reads in the
-.B access
-and
-.B defaultaccess
+configuration file or the
+.BR slapd\-config (5)
+backend, reads in the
+.BR access / olcAccess
directives, and then parses the
.B attr
list given on the command-line; if none is given, access to the
.LP
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
-.B \-v
-enable verbose mode.
+.BI \-b \ DN
+specify the
+.I DN
+which access is requested to; the corresponding entry is fetched
+from the database, and thus it must exist.
+The
+.I DN
+is also used to determine what rules apply; thus, it must be
+in the naming context of a configured database. See also
+.BR \-u .
.TP
-.BI \-d " level"
+.BI \-d \ debug-level
enable debugging messages as defined by the specified
-.IR level .

+for details.

-.BI \-f " slapd.conf"
+.BI \-D \ authcDN
+specify a DN to be used as identity through the test session
+when selecting appropriate

+.BI \-f \ slapd.conf
specify an alternative
.BR slapd.conf (5)
file.

-.BI \-F " confdir"
+.BI \-F \ confdir
specify a config directory.
If both

config directory format and written to the specified directory.
If neither option is specified, an attempt to read the

-specify an ID to be mapped to a
-.B DN
-as by means of

-rules (see

-for details); mutually exclusive with

-specify an authorization ID to be mapped to a
