It's not clear from the description in slapd-sock(5) whether the CONTINUE
response in overlay mode should contain the msgid or not.

While there's the detailed syntax for RESULT

              RESULT
              msgid: <message id>
              code: <integer>
              matched: <matched DN>
              info: <text>
              <blank line>

there is no such syntax for CONTINUE.

Is this correct?

              CONTINUE
              msgid: <message id>
              <blank line>

man page needs updating
Comment 2 Quanah Gibson-Mount 2021-07-08 15:56:24 UTC 
Simply:

CONTINUE
<blank line>

This bug description is incorrect. This RESULT message syntax is only for response messages being sent from the slapo-sock overlay to the external
program. It is clearly documented as such:

       If  the overlay is configured to send response messages to the external
       program, they will appear as an extended RESULT message or as an  ENTRY
       message, defined below. The RESULT message is similar to the one above,
       but also includes the msgid and any configured extensions:

>               code: <integer>
>               matched: <matched DN>
>               info: <text>
>               <blank line>

For a standard RESULT message from the external program to the slapo-sock
overlay, there is no msgid nor any trailing blank line.

No, because CONTINUE is not an extended response from slapo-sock to an external program. It is only a standard response from an external program to slapo-sock.

Closing this ITS.
