Description

As mentioned by Gianmaria Clerici,
the use of com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory instead of org.apache.ldap.server.jndi.CoreContextFactory as the INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY makes ACIs not working.

Here is an explanationof the problem I sent on the list :

I have some troubles to add some ACIs on ou=system to enable users to do
what they want with their own entry.
I added an "accessControlSpecificArea" value to the "administrativeRole"
attribute on ou=system.
I used the following subtree specification : "{}" and the following
value for my prescriptiveACI on the accesControlSubentry I created
under ou=system :
" { identificationTag "enableUserSelfModification", precedence 1,
authenticationLevel simple, itemOrUserFirst userFirst:{ userClasses {
thisEntry }, userPermissions { { protectedItems { entry,
allUserAttributeTypesAndValues }, grantsAndDenials { grantAdd,
grantRemove, grantModify, grantFilterMatch, grantCompare, grantRead,
grantReturnDN, grantBrowse } } } } }"

When i create a new user with admin rights and try to log under this
user, i get a 50 error code : noPermission. This is not an 49 error code
: AuthenticationException
