Insufficient privileges to perform operations

You are receiving the following error:

Insufficient LDAP access privileges to perform operation.

This message indicates that a supplied LDAP suffix does not have the correct ACLs attached. The following reasons are possible causes for this problem:

• During configuration, Security Verify Access was unable to attach ACLs to the existing suffix because the directory entries necessary to instantiate the suffix were not created.
• The suffix was added after the initial configuration of the ISAM management server and the required ACLs were not added manually.

The Web Administration Tool provided with the Security Directory Server client can be used to check the suffix and to add the appropriate ACLs manually. For information about how to accomplish this, see the Administering topics in the Knowledge Center.

Correct the ACLs on the suffix, and run the command again.
