[Fedora-directory-users] ACI to restrict access to sensitive attributes.

[Rich Megginson]

By default, FDS will restrict access to everything - that is, you don't 
need to have an explicit deny unless you have another ACI somewhere that 
allows other attributes.  ACIs work together in this way - when there is 
a rule that allows some access and a rule that explicitly denies that 
same access, the deny rule wins.  In your case, if this is the only ACI, 
you don't need the deny clause, you could just do this:
(target = "ldap:///ou=People, dc=ite,dc=gmu,dc=edu")
(targetattr ="employeeNumber") 
(version 3.0;acl "EmployeeNumber";
allow (read) userdn="ldap:///self" and authmethod="sasl gssapi";
)
