NAME

       Net::LDAP::Control::Assertion - LDAPv3 Assertion Control

SYNOPSIS

        use Net::LDAP;
        use Net::LDAP::Control::Assertion;

        $ldap = Net::LDAP->new( "ldap.mydomain.eg" );

        $assert = Net::LDAP::Control::Assertion->new( assertion => '(sn=Jensen)' );

        my $mesg = $ldap->modify( "cn=Barbara Jensen, o=University of Michigan, c=US",
                                  replace => { givenName => "Babs" },
                                  control => $assert );

DESCRIPTION

       "Net::LDAP::Control::Assertion" provides an interface for the creation and manipulation of
       objects that represent the "Assertion Control" as described by RFC 4528.

       The "Assertion Control" allows the client to specify a condition, an assertion, that must
       be TRUE for the operation to be processed normally.  Otherwise, the operation is not
       performed.  For instance, the control can be used with the Modify operation to perform
       atomic "test and set" and "test and clear" operations.

       The control is appropriate for both LDAP interrogation and update operations, including
       Add, Compare, Delete, Modify, ModifyDN (rename), and Search.

CONSTRUCTOR ARGUMENTS

       In addition to the constructor arguments described in Net::LDAP::Control the following are
       provided.

       assertion => FILTER
           A filter specifying the assertion that must evaluate to TRUE in order to make the
           operation process normally.

METHODS

       As with Net::LDAP::Control each constructor argument described above is also available as
       a method on the object which will return the current value for the attribute if called
       without an argument, and set a new value for the attribute if called with an argument.
