            Bug ID: 9238
           Summary: access control documentation is confusing
           Product: OpenLDAP
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All

          Severity: normal
          Priority: ---

git format-patch output

slapd.access says "Access control checking stops
at the first match of the <what> and <who> clause, unless
otherwise  dictated  by  the  <control> clause."  But
this, by itself, is wrong.  You have to read the next
sentence, which says there's an implicit "by * none
stop", meaning that the default is to stop when only <what>
matches.

Patch attached.

I, Karl O. Pinc, hereby place the following modifications to OpenLDAP Software
(and only these modifications) into the public domain. Hence, these
modifications may be freely used and/or redistributed for any purpose with or
