 From TODO:

- Support Extended Operations by wrapping
   ldap_extended_operation() and ldap_parse_extended_result()
   - Set Password ext. op.
   - Whoami ext. op.

Feel free to submit patches implementing LDAP ext. ops.

I'm not sure what exactly you're planning to do. But usually it's quite 
trivial to set (client-side hashed) passwords by modifying 'userPassword'.

Ciao, Michael.
