Hi,

I try to modify an entry with permissive modify control. The response is protocole error : permissiveModify control value not absent.

I check with wireshark the request, and there was no value with the control, but the control was marked as critical.

There is a difference between no value and empty value. Can you recheck?

The problem appears with openldap 2.5.x and 2.6.x with mdb database. It is ok with openldap 2.4.x with bdb database.

This check hasn't changed since 2.4.32 (released in 2012).

So is the permissive modify control supported with mdb database in openldap >= 2.5.x ?

back-mdb does indeed handle permissive modify control.
