2.3 (and 2.4) client tools only send the password policy control with the Bind requests. However, the control is not only valid with most every request, but useful to send with every request. HEAD has been updated to send, when -e ppolicy is selected, the control with every request, and to print the control details on return. While this could be viewed as a new feature by some it could abe viewed as a bug fix by others. Given this change scope is quite narrow (should only effect -e ppolicy users), I recommend it inclusion in the next patch release of 2.3.

Hi Kurt,

I've been working on this for the 2.3 release, however there is a problem when it comes to ldapmodify. Pierangelo made the change around controls to the ldapmodify code around revision 1.172. However, when 2.3 was branched (after revision 1.175), this new code was excluded by you. So, the question I have now, is should this code now be pulled into 2.3? It is quite a bit of change.

If 2.3 wasn't quite frozen, I'd say just suck in the new tools... But given 2.3 is very much frozen, and the change scope isn't as narrow as I thought it would be, seems more appropriate just to leave this out. Oh well.

Another reason to push 2.4beta out, I guess.
