/**
  * This class is the starting context for performing
  * LDAPv3-style extended operations and controls.
  *<p>
  * See <tt>javax.naming.InitialContext and
  * <tt>javax.naming.InitialDirContext for details on synchronization,
  * and the policy for how an initial context is created.
  *
  * <h1>Request Controls
  * When you create an initial context (<tt>InitialLdapContext),
  * you can specify a list of request controls.
  * These controls will be used as the request controls for any
  * implicit LDAP "bind" operation performed by the context or contexts
  * derived from the context. These are called <em>connection request controls.
  * Use <tt>getConnectControls() to get a context's connection request
  * controls.
  *<p>
  * The request controls supplied to the initial context constructor
  * are <em>not used as the context request controls
  * for subsequent context operations such as searches and lookups.
  * Context request controls are set and updated by using
  * <tt>setRequestControls().
  *<p>
  * As shown, there can be two different sets of request controls
  * associated with a context: connection request controls and context
  * request controls.
  * This is required for those applications needing to send critical
  * controls that might not be applicable to both the context operation and
  * any implicit LDAP "bind" operation.
  * A typical user program would do the following:
  *<blockquote>
  * InitialLdapContext lctx = new InitialLdapContext(env, critConnCtls);
  * lctx.setRequestControls(critModCtls);
  * lctx.modifyAttributes(name, mods);
  * Controls[] respCtls =  lctx.getResponseControls();
  *</pre>
  * It specifies first the critical controls for creating the initial context
  * (<tt>critConnCtls), and then sets the context's request controls
  * (<tt>critModCtls) for the context operation. If for some reason
  * <tt>lctx needs to reconnect to the server, it will use
  * <tt>critConnCtls. See the LdapContext interface for
  * more discussion about request controls.
  *<p>
  * Service provider implementors should read the "Service Provider" section
  * in the <tt>LdapContext class description for implementation details.
