Question

Which of the following is the most appropriate method of debugging problems concerning ACLs?

Options

  • AStop the OpenLDAP server daemon and run the command slapd -d 128.
  • BStop the OpenLDAP server daemon and run the command slapd -d 32.
  • CStop the OpenLDAP server daemon and run the command slapd -log_acl.
  • DStop the OpenLDAP server daemon and run the command slapd -debug_acl.

Explanation

To debug Access Control List (ACL) issues in OpenLDAP, the server should be restarted with the debug level 128 to specifically enable logging for ACL processing.

Common mistakes.

  • B. The -d 32 option typically enables logging for configuration file processing and schema checking, not specifically for ACL debugging.
  • C. There is no standard slapd command-line option called -log_acl for debugging ACLs; debugging levels are specified numerically with -d.
  • D. There is no standard slapd command-line option called -debug_acl for debugging ACLs; debugging levels are specified numerically with -d.
