Hello,
As some may know I’m working toward supporting controls in php-ldap.
I’m facing two questions regarding controls to help me build the API:
- Is it possible to have several controls with the same OID in a request or
response? (if not it would allow me to parse the answer to a control hash with
oid as keys)
-> I tried to put twice the same control with «LDAP_CONTROL_PRE_READ» and got the error
"preread control: specified multiple times", but I do not know if this is specific
to preread or if it’s a rule.
Not possible, no.
- Is the critical field of controls used in responses? It seems openldap server
let it to false always (or I’m failing to parse it).
RFC4511 section 4.1.11 is quite explicit here - the critical field in
responses is always false.
I could not find information about these subjects in RFC 2251, if there is an
other RFC on this subject bringing more information do not hesitate to point me
to it :-)
