Wilmer, out of curiosity: Are you using SASL bind with server-side
identity mapping? Or why are you doing this?

It seems FDS implements something similar: an extended control to be
sent along with the bind request/response (see RFC 3829, OID values
2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.15/2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.16 in attribute
supportedControl of rootDSE).

Currently python-ldap does not support this control though. Patches for
python-ldap welcome. ;-)

Ciao, Michael.
