Manual Mode of the ACI Editor

Use this panel to edit an ACI manually. The text box lets you view and edit the literal value of the aci attribute as it is currently configured in the ACI editor.

Editing the ACI manually allows you to define advanced access control. You can edit the targets, permissions, and bind rules that make up the ACI, and use some keywords that are not supported by the tabs of the ACI editor. For more information about ACI syntax, see Chapter 6, "Managing Access Control," in the Directory Server Administration Guide.



Note

Advanced ACIs defined in manual mode and some even some settings made in the ACI editor can no longer be configured "visually" through the tabs of the ACI editor. You will always need to edit these ACIs in the manual mode.



Edit Visually. Click this button to edit your ACI using the tabs of the ACI Editor. You may not be able to edit advanced ACI properties visually, in which case you will see a Visual Mode Conversion Error dialog with more information. For example, the deny permission keyword is not supported by the visual editor.

Check Syntax. Click this button to verify the syntax of your ACI. The dialog will check the format of the ACI and all keywords. The syntax checking correctly verifies advanced ACIs even if they cannot be edited visually.
