I'm not sure if 'self' will work here either...nothing seems to work.

This is the ACL that works for me in OpenLDAP...

access to
dn.regex="^ou=AddressBook,uid=([^,]+),ou=People,dc=example,dc=com$$"
        attrs=children,entry,inetOrgPerson,organizationalPerson
        by dn.exact,expand="uid=$1,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com" write
        by dn.exact="uid=administrator,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com"
write
        by * none

I am hesitant to fool with the access control while there are people
working on the network but the above is exactly what I want to work in
Fedora-DS
