Access control problems

Hello,

I have studied the examples in section 5.3 of the SLAPD/SLURPD
Admin manual and have tried access controls to the point where
I am very sad and frustrated, indeed. I have failed to get the access
control to work.

Could someone please give me some advice/help on this? I would be very
appreciative!!!

I'd like to restrict reading access on some (OR all!) attributes to
folks within the ties.k12.mn.us domain. After trying many many
permutations for days I have met with failure. Generally, I check access
by running ldapsearch to dump the entire database, and by running lynx from
a server outside of my domain to the web500gw port ON the ldap server.

Thanks very much for any help!!

Here's one version of what I've been trying:

slapd.conf:

include /usr/local/etc/slapd.at.conf
include /usr/local/etc/slapd.oc.conf
schemacheck on
referral ldap://ldap.itd.umich.edu
