592list all the match rules in the access control list, and the default

595set the default access control list policy, used in the event that
596none of the explicit rules match. The default policy at startup is
597always @code{deny}
598@item acl allow <aclname> <match> [<index>]
599add a match to the access control list, allowing access. The match will
600normally be an exact username or x509 distinguished name, but can
601optionally include wildcard globs. eg @code{*@@EXAMPLE.COM} to allow
602all users in the @code{EXAMPLE.COM} kerberos realm. The match will
603normally be appended to the end of the ACL, but can be inserted
604earlier in the list if the optional @code{index} parameter is supplied.
605@item acl deny <aclname> <match> [<index>]
606add a match to the access control list, denying access. The match will
607normally be an exact username or x509 distinguished name, but can
608optionally include wildcard globs. eg @code{*@@EXAMPLE.COM} to allow
609all users in the @code{EXAMPLE.COM} kerberos realm. The match will

612@item acl remove <aclname> <match>
613remove the specified match rule from the access control list.
614@item acl reset <aclname>
615remove all matches from the access control list, and set the default
616policy back to @code{deny}.
