HI! In some situations there are controls attached to a LDAP response also in the case if LDAPResult::resultCode is not success(0). python-ldap just generates an exception in this case with resultCode, diagnosticMessage etc. But a calling application might also need to have access to the controls which might indicate more details why the operation failed.
One important example for this behaviour are password policy controls and the bind operation (see [1] and [2]). The response controls define why the operation failed (e.g. password soon to expire, password reset needed). Could somebody with C programming skills please look into how to return these controls to the calling application via exception? Also we should look at how response controls can be returned to the application in case of intermediate responses. E.g. this is needed for implementing syncrepl in searchAndPersist mode with search requests. Ciao, Michael.
