Hold on.
LDAP_CONTROL_PAGEDRESULTS requires to be sent LDAP_CONTROL_PAGEDRESULTS in the search response. Does the frontend do that? back-bdb does it "by hand".
Correct.
Clients may use LDAP_CONTROL_ASSERT to check something they want to know, not just to ensure they don't update entries with unexpected contents.
I suppose we could evaluate the filter against an empty entry with just the DN filled in - as if the rest were hidden by access controls. Though since back-null is a liar - it cannot present a consistent view of whether data are present or not - it may be better to be conservative and always return Assertion Failed.
Sounds fine.
I don't know the requirements of the other controls/extensions.
