<h2 id="rzahycontrols">Controls and extended operations</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Controls</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Controls provide additional information to the server to control how it
|
||
|
|
interprets a given request. For example, a <tt class="xph">delete subtree</tt> control
|
||
|
|
can be specified on a LDAP delete request, indicating that the server should
|
||
|
|
delete the entry and all its subordinate entries, rather than deleting just
|
||
|
|
the entry specified. A control consists of three parts:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>The control type, which is an OID identifying the control.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>A criticality indicator, which specifies how the server should behave
|
||
|
|
if it does not support the control. This is a Boolean value. FALSE indicates
|
||
|
|
the control is not critical, and the server should ignore it if it doesn't
|
||
|
|
support it. TRUE indicates the control is critical and the entire request
|
||
|
|
should be failed (with an unsupported critical extension error) if the server
|
||
|
|
cannot honor the control.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>An optional control value, which contains other information specific to
|
||
|
|
the control. The content of the control value is specified using ASN.1 notation.
|
||
|
|
The value itself is the BER encoding of the control data.</li></ul>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Extended operations</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Extended operations are used to start additional operations beyond the
|
||
|
|
core LDAP operations. For example, extended operations have been defined
|
||
|
|
to group a set of operations into a single transaction. An extended operation
|
||
|
|
consists of:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>The request name, an OID which identifies the specific operation.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>An optional request value, which contains other information specific to
|
||
|
|
the operation. The content of the request value is specified using ASN.1
|
||
|
|
notation. The value itself is the BER encoding of the request data.</li></ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>Extended operations typically have an extended response. The response
|
||
|
|
consists of:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>The components of the standard LDAP result (error code, matched DN, and
|
||
|
|
error message)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The response name, an OID which identifies the type of response</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>An optional value, which contains other information specific to the response.
|
||
|
|
The content of the response value is specified using ASN.1 notation. The
|
||
|
|
value itself is the BER encoding of the response data.</li></ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>For a complete list of controls and extended operations as well as their
|
||
|
|
respective object identifiers (OIDs) and descriptions, see <a href="rzahyoids.htm#rzahyoids">Object identifiers (OIDs)</a>.</p>
