#48141 aci with wildcard and macro not correctly evaluated
Closed: wontfix None Opened 9 years ago by lkrispen.

The following aci

aci: (target="ldap:///cn=*/($dn),cn=services,cn=test,dc=example,dc=com")(version 3.0; acl "allow dding of own services"; allow (all) userdn = "ldap:///uid=($dn),ou=People,dc=example,dc=com";)

fails to match the resource cn=test/uid.xxxx,cn=services,cn=test,dc=example,dc=com

Need to investigate if this is expected behaviour or a bug


Ludwig planned to handle this one.

FYI: if it is adding another regex to ACL, it may cause a high CPU issue. We have an example which is showing the symptom...

no, I would not add another regex. For acis using only wildcards the evaluation uses regex, for acis containing a macro and a wildcard, it evaluates the wildcard directly, but makes assumptions on where the macro has to start, which misinterpretes some macro/wildcard combinations.

Do you have an example/test of high cpu usage with regex ? In my opinion using regex for our wildcard matching is overkill, it could probably be done by simpler algorithm using only strcmp.

Your patch looks good to me.

Out of my curiosity... Now these cases are verified.
{{{
ndn: cn=abc,ou=P,dc=example,dc=com
match_this: cn=*,($dn),dc=example,dc=com

ndn: cn=test/uid.xxxx,cn=services,cn=test,dc=example,dc=com
match_this: cn=/($dn),cn=services,cn=test,dc=example,dc=com
}}}
I even don't know if there is such a requirement, but do we support multiple wildcards like this or not?
{{{
ndn: cn=abc,cn=test/uid.xxxx,cn=services,cn=test,dc=example,dc=com
match_this: cn=
,cn=*/($dn),cn=services,cn=test,dc=example,dc=com
}}}
Thanks!

no, just one, there was no request and didn't want to hack more than needed.
This would be a candidate for generalization, we could handle something like:

cn=,cn=/($dn1),cn=services,($dn2),cn=,dc=example,dc=com
by matching cn=
,cn=/,cn=services,,cn=,dc=example,dc=com

and returning an array m for the strings matching the * and then take m[2] and m[3] as value of macro components to match in the userdn
