No, ldap_sasl_bind() only receives controls as input parameters. You
need to pass ldap_sasl_bind() the __request__ for the password policy
control. You'll get the control response by parsing the result, namely
by ldap_parse_result(), as usual. This is exemplified in OpenLDAP 2.4's
common.c, where all references to deprecated functions have been
removed. I recommend you upgrade to at least 2.3.39 anyway, and 2.4 is
a valid choice as well.
