Hi all,
in the ACL chapter of the online documentation to OpenLDAP 2.6 (and likely the
versions before)
there might be a mismatch of singular/plural usage of the "users" keyword.
In chapter 8.3.2 "who to grant access to" table 5.3 lists specifier "users" as
"authenticated users"
entities. This is further shown in chapter 8.4.2 "matching anonymous and
authenticated users".
In chapter 8.4.9 "tips for using regular expressions in access control" the
singular is used:
"Use shorthands. The user directive matches authenticated users and the
anonymous directive matches
anonymous users."
As well as in the subchapters 8.5.x where the singular is used in set
definitions.
My question now is: does it matter whether singular or plural of user is used
in ACLs? If so, where
to use one and where to use the other? Does it follow natural language useage?
Thanks,
Uwe
