HI!
Disclaimer: I'm not a C programmer.
I'd like to evaluate response controls (e.g. ppolicy) also when doing a SASL bind. I'm using python-ldap which in turn uses OpenLDAP C API's function ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s(). But currently there's no way to extract the server's response controls. The server I'm testing with is returning the ppolicy response control and others.
I looked at clients/tools/common.c but it seems to me it also uses ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s() and no response controls are extracted.
Do I have to use ldap_get_option(ld,LDAP_OPT_SERVER_CONTROLS) separately? Does that work?
Not sure about that. In clients/tools/common.c there is an example of using ldap_sasl_interactive_bind() asynchronously that purposely allows to extract controls information from the (last) response (e.g. related to ppolicy) since it gives access to the result of calling ldap_result(). Not sure about how this could be integrated in python-ldap; my suggestion, without looking at the code, would be to add/modify python-ldap's call to ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s() to optionally give access to all results (resultCode, diagnostics, controls).
