These default ACIs allow all LDAP operations to be carried out on all configuration attributes by

the following users:

• Members of the Configuration Administrators group.

• The user acting as the administrator, the admin account that was configured at setup. By

default, this is the same user account which is logged into the Console.

• Members of local Directory Administrators group.

• The SIE (Server Instance Entry) group, usually assigned using the Set Access Permissions

process the main console.

For more information on access control, see the Directory Server Administrator's Guide.

2.2. Changing Configuration Attributes

Server attributes can be viewed and changed in one of three ways: through the Directory Server

Console, by performing ldapsearch and ldapmodify commands, or by manually editing the

dse.ldif file.

NOTE

Before editing the dse.ldif file, the server must be stopped; otherwise, the

changes are lost. Editing the dse.ldif file is recommended only for changes to

attributes which cannot be altered dynamically. See Section 2.2.3, “Configuration

Changes Requiring Server Restart” for further information.

The following sections describe how to modify entries using LDAP (both by using Directory

Server Console and by using the command line), the restrictions that apply to modifying entries,

the restrictions that apply to modifying attributes, and the configuration changes requiring

restart.
