.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
.B Slapacl
is used to check the behavior of the slapd in verifying access to data
according to ACLs, as specified in 
.BR slapd.access (5).
It opens the
.BR slapd.conf (5)
configuration file, reads in the 
.B access
and
.B defaultaccess
directives, and then parses the 
.B attr
list given on the command-line; if none is given, access to the
.B entry
pseudo-attribute is tested.
.LP
.SH OPTIONS

.TP
.BI \-d " level"

specify an ID to be mapped to a 
.B DN 
as by means of 
.B authz-regexp
or
.B authz-rewrite
rules (see

for details); mutually exclusive with
.BR \-D .
