various ways in which the server configuration can be viewed and modified. It

Access Control for Configuration Entries
When the Directory Server is installed, a default set of access control instructions
(ACIs) is implemented for all entries under
an example of these default ACIs.
Code Example 2-3
aci: (targetattr = "*")(version 3.0; acl "Configuration
Adminstrators Group"; allow (all)
groupdn = "ldap:///cn=Configuration Administrators,ou=Groups,
ou=TopologyManagement, o=NetscapeRoot";)
aci: (targetattr = "*")(version 3.0; acl "Configuration
Adminstrator"; allow (all)
userdn = "ldap:///uid=admin,ou=Administrators,
ou=TopologyManagement, o=NetscapeRoot";)
aci: (targetattr = "*")(version 3.0; acl "Local Directory
Adminstrators Group"; allow (all)
groupdn = "ldap:///ou=Directory Administrators,
dc=example,dc=com";)
aci: (targetattr = "*")(version 3.0; acl "SIE Group"; allow(all)
groupdn = "ldap:///cn=slapd-phonebook, cn=Red Hat Directory
Server, cn=Server Group, cn=phonebook.example.com,
dc=example,dc=com, o=NetscapeRoot";)
These default ACIs allow all LDAP operations to be carried out on all
configuration attributes by the following users:
• Members of the Configuration Administrators Group.
