Error description

  • LDAP user belongs to multiple user groups and has different
    access permissions for the same domain.  For example, the user
    belongs to the following groups with access permissions below:
    
    Group1:  */default/*?Access=r
    Group2:  */default/*?Access=rwadx
    
    Combining the access permission of the groups above, results in
    the user only having read access to the default domain instead
    of full access.  This is because the stricter access takes
    precedence which can cause unexpected access with LDAP multiple
    group support in 7.0 and above.
    

Local fix

  • Change the LDAP user group configuration such that one user
    cannot have different access for the same domain.
    

Problem summary

  • Affected are DataPower installations using RBM with multiple
    LDAP groups, some of which provide conflicting access policies
    for the same resource type.
    
    These conflicting access policies
    might not provide the desired permissions.
    

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix
