Hi there
My predecessor created a couple of ACLs that are IP based. For example this one:
olcAccess: {10}to dn.subtree="ou=something,dc=domain,dc=tld" by
peername.ip="0.0.0.0%0.0.0.0" none by * +0 break
Unfortunately I can't find any hints what "0.0.0.0%0.0.0.0" means. Can anyone
explain that?
The only part of the documentation where 0.0.0.0 occurs is in "20.4.4.
Listener". In that case it looks to me like 0.0.0.0 is actually the localhost.
In other areas (e.g. some Firewalls) 0.0.0.0 is the WAN/Internet which is
pretty much the opposite of localhost.
Since the subnetmask in the ACL is also 0.0.0.0 I assume that the whole
construct peername.ip="0.0.0.0%0.0.0.0" means basically "any" IP. But in that
case it does not make a lot of sense to me to even have that in the ACL.
However there are a lot of configs leftover from my predecessor that don't make
a lot of sense to me, so there's that.
Thanks for any hints/explanations and best regards,
Cyril
