Technical Summary
This document defines the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
assertion control. The assertion control allows the client
to specify a condition which must be true for the operation to be
processed normally. Otherwise the operation fails. For instance, the
control can be used with the Modify operation to perform
atomic "test and set" and "test and clear" operations.
The control may be attached to any update operation to support
conditional addition, deletion, modification, and renaming of the
target object. The asserted condition is evaluated as an integral
part the operation.
