Enabling or disabling LDAP write access to a directory served by the LDAP service

By default, the LDAP service does not allow LDAP clients to modify the directories the LDAP service serves. If you enable directory changes to be made via LDAP, the directory database ACL and, optionally, an extended ACL, control the extent to which authenticated and anonymous LDAP users can modify directory entries.

About this task

For example, an LDAP user with Editor database ACL access can modify all entries, whereas an LDAP user with only Author database ACL access and the UserModifier role can modify only Person entries and not other entries.
