Each of these attributes can be managed using LDIF notation. The syntax for the new filter-based ACL attributes are modified versions of the current non-filter-based ACL attributes. The following defines the syntax for the ACI and entryOwner attributes using baccus naur form (BNF).
<aclEntry> ::= <subject> [ ":" <rights> ] <aclPropagate> ::= "true" | "false"
<ibm-filterAclEntry> ::= <subject> ":" <object filter> [ ":" <rights> ] <ibm-filterAclInherit> ::= "true" | "false"
<entryOwner> ::= <subject> <ownerPropagate> ::= "true" | "false" <subject> ::= <subjectDnType> ':' <subjectDn> | <pseudoDn> <subjectDnType> ::= "role" | "group" | "access-id" <subjectDn> ::= <DN> <DN> ::= distinguished name as described in RFC 2251, section 4.1.3. <pseudoDn> ::= "group:cn=anybody" | "group:cn=authenticated" | "access-id:cn=this"
<object filter> ::= string search filter as defined in RFC 2254, section 4 (extensible matching is not supported).
<rights> ::= <accessList> [":" <rights> ] <accessList> ::= <objectAccess> | <attributeAccess> | <attributeClassAccess> <objectAccess> ::= "object:" [<action> ":"] <objectPermissions> <action> ::= "grant" | "deny" <objectPermisssions> ::= <objectPermission> [ <objectPermissions> ] <objectPermission> ::= "a" | "d" | "" <attributeAccess> ::= "at." <attributeName> ":" [<action> ":"] <attributePermissions> <attributeName> ::= attributeType name as described in RFC 2251, section 4.1.4. (OID or alpha-numeric string with leading alphabet, "-" and ";" allowed) <attributePermissions> ::= <attributePermission> [<attributePermissions>] <attributePermission> ::= "r" | "w" | "s" | "c" | "" <attributeClassAccess> ::= <class> ":" [<action> ":"] <attributePermissions> <class> ::= "normal" | "sensitive" | "critical" | "system" | "restricted"
