Sub-modules¶
Various sub-modules implement specific LDAPv3 extended controls. The classes
therein are derived from the base-classes ldap.controls.RequestControl
,
ldap.controls.ResponseControl
or ldap.controls.LDAPControl
.
Some of them require pyasn1
and pyasn1_modules
to be installed:
Usually the names of the method arguments and the class attributes match the ASN.1 identifiers used in the specification. So looking at the referenced RFC or Internet-Draft is very helpful to understand the API.
ldap.controls.simple
