I built with the default options with command ./configure. I tried looking 
the options, but there is no specific options in the list to compile with 
the controls and extended features.

I have not added any controls in my client (yet!!! I am not aware if the 
LDAP client too needs to implement the controls) I am tring with Softerra 
LDAP browser to see which controls are available on the server. SOfterra 
shows all the supported on the openLDAP and does not show any on my 
installation.

I am trying to write my own LDAP client for simulating multi queries and 
users for performance test on the LDAP server. I have written the basic LDAP 
command functionality part and controls for all the commands with basic 
syntax as mentioned in the RFC -

       Controls ::= SEQUENCE OF Control

       Control ::= SEQUENCE {
               controlType             LDAPOID,
               criticality             BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
               controlValue            OCTET STRING OPTIONAL }

To check if these are working on my scripts I need to configure these on my 
openLDAP server. Possibly all the available controls. I am facing problem in 
getting this control and extended functionality available on my server.There 
are not many books or online resources (that I could find) with reference to 
these features :(
