Is it solved in the main tree ? Else, can somebody can review my patch
and tell 
me how it is ?

I know it's a bit old (and maybe it needs a resync) but I had a lot of
work to do 
this past two years for my classes.

Thanks in advance :)

I've done a patch which fixes the bug. It creates a ldap_mod_deleteadd
function which delete an attribute and adding it in the same LDAP
request.

Some parts of the code is imported from pam_ldap.

This bug also appears with MS Active Directory (when you bind without
admin rights).

The syntax is pretty obvious (but not very clean asap, i wanted to know
if you like it before making it as pretty as ldap_mod_replace) :

ldap_mod_deleteadd(resource link, string dn, string attr, string old,
string new[, boolean binary = false])

The boolean binary attribute is here for AD which uses an unicode
encoded password (and so needs LDAP_MOD_BVALUES).

Currently waiting for your insults :)

OK. I've done a *lot* of researchs (trying to make TLS/SSL work, and
some other fun things -- I hate certificates) and I discovered by
analysing with tcpdump/wireshark that the current Java program make the
delete+add orders in the same request, when my PHP software makes it in
two different requests. So, NDS refuses to let the users have no
userPassword attribute for a short period of time : that is the reason
of the "Server unwilling to perform".

As I don't think we can queue the requests in a FIFO-like stack in
php_ldap's API, is it possible to send a LDIF using php_ldap ? That
sounds to be a great solution.

Thanks a lot

I don't have any access to the LDAP server. I'll try to request them on
Tuesday (if I had them, it would be the first thing I would check).
