Directory Services 7.2.5

Supported LDAP controls

LDAP controls provide a mechanism to extend the semantics and arguments of existing LDAP operations. One or more controls may be attached to a single LDAP message. A control only affects the semantics of the message it is attached to. Controls sent by clients are called request controls. Controls returned by servers are called response controls.

DS software supports the following LDAP controls:
