Required changes in 2.4.7 regarding ACLs when using authz-regexp?

[Michael Ströder]

HI!

I tried to migrate an existing server from 2.3.39 to 2.4.7 (or also CVS 
RE24). I'm making use of authz-regexp to map user entries when they do a 
SASL Bind with DIGEST-MD5. Also some ACLs are in effect. This together 
used to work on 2.3.x with the existing ACLs.

With 2.4.7 this worked no longer. The user wasn't found. In the ACL 
debug log I've noticed that access to the search root database entry 
(suffix) is requested. When I explicitly grant auth access to this entry 
it works. But why is that needed? Was this an intended change?

Ciao, Michael.
