[Freeipa-devel] [PATCH] 0079 support creating LDAP control by python-ldap 2.3 (RHEL) and newer versions (Fedora)

[Alexander Bokovoy]

Hi,

I did have bug filed against python-ldap in January and for some reason
my patch to accomodate two ways of making LDAP controls was not included
in March 2012 when I presented it as part of trusts, but yesterday we
found it is really needed for RHEL6 version of python-ldap.

Rather than having separate patch, I'd prefer to have both versions
supported upstream. The same issue was with Fedora 16 versus Fedora 17.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Support python-ldap 2.3 way of making LDAP control

This strange patch is to accomodate both python-ldap 2.3 and later versions.
There was refactoring in python-ldap support for LDAP controls that split
base class into two different, changing properties and method signatures.

Luckily, we don't use any values passed to encodeControlValue.
