Hi Matt,

thank you for the new version. I played with/tested the patch with 'ipa
user-mod', ldapsearch, ldapmodify and kadmin.local and all was working
as expected.

I only found a minor issue:

>  {
>      krb5_error_code kerr;
>      krb5_tl_data *data;
> +    krb5_tl_data *data_tmp = NULL;

this is unused.

Coverity didn't found anything else as well.

Since Simo already added the new OID to
https://code.engineering.redhat.com/gerrit/p/rhanana.git, ACK, if you remove data_tmp.

bye,
Sumit
