5. Access control
The purpose of access control is to manage the rights of the various users of a directory. Most often, this is done by means of access control lists. How these lists are managed and implemented depends, of course, on the implementation. For example, lists can be in the form of files, read at server start-up (static configuration), or they can be saved as LDAP entries, specific to the server (dynamic configuration).
The principle is relatively simple.
An access control list is a set of rules that a server must obey to determine whether a given user has the right to access a specific resource.
In the case of an LDAP directory, resources are usually individual attributes, specific entries or even complete sub-trees.
