6.9.2. Granting Write Access to Personal Entries

Many directory administrators want to allow internal users to change some but not all of the attributes
in their own entry. The directory administrators at example.com want to allow users to change their
own password, home telephone number, and home address, but nothing else. This is illustrated in
Section 6.9.2.1, "ACI "Write
It is also example.com's policy to let their subscribers update their own personal information in the
example.com tree, provided that they establish an SSL connection to the directory. This is illustrated
Section 6.9.2.2, "ACI "Write
in
6.9.2.1. ACI "Write example.com"
NOTE
By setting this permission, you are also granting users the right to delete attribute values.
Granting example.com employees the right to update their password, home telephone number, and
home address has the following statement in LDIF:
aci: (targetattr="userPassword || homePhone ||
homePostalAddress") (version 3.0; acl "Write example.com"; allow
(write) userdn= "ldap:///self" and dns="*.example.com";)
This example assumes that the ACI is added to the ou=example-people,dc=example,dc=com
entry.

1. In the Directory tab, right-click the example-people entry under the example.com node in the
left navigation tree, and choose Set Access Permissions from the pop-up menu to display the
Access Control Manager.
