# Net::LDAP::Control::Assertion - phpMan

## NAME
    [Net::LDAP::Control::Assertion] - LDAPv3 Assertion Control

## SYNOPSIS
     use [Net::LDAP];
     use [Net::LDAP::Control::Assertion];

     $ldap = [Net::LDAP]->new( "ldap.mydomain.eg" );

     $assert = [Net::LDAP::Control::Assertion]->new( assertion => '(sn=Jensen)' );

     my $mesg = $ldap->modify( "cn=Barbara Jensen, o=University of Michigan, c=US",
                               replace => { givenName => "Babs" },
                               control => $assert );

## DESCRIPTION
    "[Net::LDAP::Control::Assertion]" provides an interface for the creation
    and manipulation of objects that represent the "Assertion Control" as
    described by RFC 4528.

    The "Assertion Control" allows the client to specify a condition, an
    assertion, that must be TRUE for the operation to be processed normally.
    Otherwise, the operation is not performed. For instance, the control can
    be used with the Modify operation to perform atomic "test and set" and
    "test and clear" operations.

    The control is appropriate for both LDAP interrogation and update
    operations, including Add, Compare, Delete, Modify, ModifyDN (rename),
    and Search.

## CONSTRUCTOR ARGUMENTS
    In addition to the constructor arguments described in [Net::LDAP::Control]
    the following are provided.

    assertion => FILTER
        A filter specifying the assertion that must evaluate to TRUE in
        order to make the operation process normally.

## METHODS
    As with [Net::LDAP::Control] each constructor argument described above is
    also available as a method on the object which will return the current
    value for the attribute if called without an argument, and set a new
    value for the attribute if called with an argument.
