RFC 4528 says the Assert control is appropriate for Add. Slapd disagrees:

$ ldapadd -xhlocalhost:3890 -e!assert='(objectClass=organization)' <test.ldif adding new entry "o=test" ldap_add: Critical extension is unavailable (12) additional info: critical extension is unavailable

back-bdb and back-sql do not apply the assert control to Add.

The message comes from slapd/controls.c. Don't fix that before fixing Add in the backends, otherwise critical controls can be ignored.

Another strangeness: overlays/syncprov.c applies the Assert control to Compare but not other operations. I don't know why, there are no comments about it.
