This section covers the default access control configuration that is common for all four subsystem types. These access control rules manage access to basic and common configuration settings, such as logging and adding users and groups.
These ACLs are common in that the same ACLs occur in each subsystem instance's acl.ldif file. These are not shared ACLs in the sense that the configuration files or settings are held in common by all subsystem instances. As with all other instance configuration, these ACLs are maintained independently of other subsystem instances, in the instance-specific acl.ldif file.
D.2.1. certServer.acl.configuration
Controls operations to the ACL configuration. The default configuration is:
allow (read) group="Administrators" || group="Certificate Manager Agents" || group="Registration Manager Agents" || group="Key Recovery Authority Agents" || group="Online Certificate Status Manager Agents" || group="Auditors";allow (modify) group="Administrators"

D.2.2. certServer.admin.certificate
Controls which users can import a certificate through a Certificate Manager. By default, this operation is allowed to everyone. The default configuration is:
allow (import) user="anybody"
This entry is associated with the CA administration web interface which is used to configure the instance. This ACL is only available during instance configuration and is unavailable after the CA is running.
