------------------------------------------

Emmanuel,

currently (1.0 RC1), the OldAuthorizationService is enabled in the 
configuration by default.
I think we have therefore two options:

a) keep it enabled
In this case we should fix the bugs within the service (like this one), and try 
to have it work as described in the documentation (or update the documentation)
http://directory.apache.org/subprojects/apacheds/docs/users/authentication.html
In these docs the OldAuthorizationService is interpreted as "minimal built-in 
rules", not legacy.
How about renaming OldAuthorizationService to MinimalAuthorizationService (or 
something like that), if we decide to keep it?

b) disable or (even better) remove the service
In this case, we have to update the docs, and to ensure that the default ACI 
configuration is reasonable secure. 

Password thing: I think it should be possible to allow users to read passwords. 
In some occasions someone may need it (if s/he wishes to write his/her own 
replication, for instance). I prefer to forbid it by default via ACIs (and 
allow users to change this behavior).

> Documentation states: Users cannot see other user entries under the

> Agreed and understood. But, the user, after binding with the directory,
