slapd does not apply the Assert control to non-database entries
(at least the root and subschema entries), yet does not reject
a critical control either.
I have not explored the magnitutde of the problem: Where the
control can get ignored, and which other controls are ignored.
$ ldapsearch -LLLx -e\!assert='(objectClass=person)' -b "" -s base
dn:
objectClass: top
objectClass: OpenLDAProotDSE
$ ldapsearch -LLLx -e\!assert='(objectClass=person)' -b cn=subschema -s base
dn: cn=Subschema
objectClass: top
objectClass: subentry
objectClass: subschema
objectClass: extensibleObject
cn: Subschema
-b "" -s sub does apply the control with database bdb + suffix "".
Don't know about back-sql.
However I imagine it varies how careful backends "" are about generating
the root DSE when suffix == "" so controls can be applied to it. Might
need a backend flag which says whether the backend does this, and reject
the critical controls with unwillingToPerform if this flag is not set.
