I am facing problem sending Assertion Control with LDAP DelRequest message.

I am getting this error:  
591950a9 begin get\_filter  
591950a9 conn=1004 op=1 DISCONNECT tag=120 err=2 text=error decoding filter  
591950a9 conn=1004 op=1 DISCONNECT tag=120 err=2 text=error decoding filter  
591950a9 conn=1004 op=1 do\_delete: get\_ctrls failed

My code snippet looks like below:  
std::string keyy = “(&(cn=Manager)(givenName=Sudhi))”;  
struct berval \* berEncodedFilter = ber\_bvstr(keyy.c\_str());

```
        LDAPControl* serverControl[2];
        return_code = ldap_control_create(LDAP_CONTROL_ASSERT, 0, berEncodedFilter, 0, &(serverControl[0]));
        serverControl[1] = NULL;

        return_code = ldap_delete_ext(m_connection, dn.c_str(), serverControl, 0, &msgID);

        ber_bvfree(berEncodedFilter);
        ldap_control_free(serverControl[0]);

```

Is there an issue in this code?  
Please help.

Try StackOverflow? While Rancher has integration with OpenLDAP this is not a random C++ programming questions forum.
