target entry, the ACI applies only to the target specified and not to the entries
below it. In some circumstances, you might want to extend the application of the
ACI several levels below the targeted entry. This is possible by using the parent
keyword, and specifying the number of levels below the target that should inherit
the ACI.
When you use the
syntax is as follows:
userattr = "parent[inheritance_level].attrName#bindType"
or, if you are using an attribute type that requires a value other than a user DN,
group DN, role DN, or an LDAP filter:
userattr = "parent[inheritance_level].attrName#attrValue"
where
