1334 - Support for LDAP v3 Controls

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Directory :: PerLDAP, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Leif Hedstrom]

We need a general OO class mechanism to handle LDAP v3 controls. Some example
implementations could be password management extensions, and VLV indexes.

Stumbled across this bug. Do you still need this?

This looks like it's related to implementing this for PerLDAP, so I'm gonna
reassign to him.  At some point, I'll want to do something similar in the XPCOM
SDK as well, though not immediately.

Is this meant to get support for the complete LDAP v3 protocoll ? Or just parts
of it ? I ask because I took forever to find out, why my OpenLDAP Server didn't
show the adressbook in mozilla, until I found out that Mozilla supports only
LDAP v2. As LDAP v3 is not new anymore (I think standarized (RFC) around 1999) I
really thought Mozilla is capable of handling LDAP v3.

Also does anybody know if there is write support planned ? It makes not the most
sense to me if I can only read an LDAP adressbook and not write new entries to
it. In a Corparate Environment this is less than ideal.

This bug is filed against PerLDAP, which is a perl based API for accessing LDAP
servers. It has nothing to do with the Mozilla browser/mail client.

Is there a bug open about the Mozilla client addressbook using LDAPv2 instead of
v3? I suspect that is just an oversight and would be very easy to fix. If there
is no such bug open, please open one.

I've opened:

for the lack of LDAP v3 support in Mozilla

Thanx, I would have done it myself, but I'm quit busy learning for my exam tomorrow.

But there are plenty of bugs left to report, so I get my chance ;-)

If this is still an issue, perhaps it should not be assigned to someone who was last active over 12 years ago. =)
