LDAP extended requests
Yes, in fact this is what the SSL LDAPS component uses to support SSL via the explicit SSLStartMode, the extended request for StartTLS in LDAP(1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.20037).
To send other extended requests, you can use the ExtendedRequest method. You'll need to give it the OID of the request name you want to implement as well as the request value to send along. When the component receives the server response, it will fire the ExtendedResponse event, where you can get the responseName and responseValue.
