ldap3 python modify replace an object with filter

Question

How can we filter when applying ldapmodify?

For eg: this is how my user object looks like:

dn: [email protected],ou=users,dc=dev,dc=com sn: po givenName: abc pin: 1234 mail: [email protected] telephoneNumber: 11234567890 enabled: FALSE city: city cn: [email protected] o: org

I want to modify this user's city if his org is org. How can I apply such a filter?

I am doing it using ldap3, do I need to use controls?

You need to send the Assertion Control along with your modify operation (see RFC 4528). Basically the control contains a filter which has to be matched.

I'm using this control in my web2ldap to prevent concurrent writes to do anything bad.

I have some doubts that ldap3 module supports it out-of-the-box though.

Further notes:

Not all LDAP servers support this control.
There are subtle bugs in LDAP server implementations supporting this control.
