This document describes authentication methods and security
   mechanisms of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
   This document details establishment of Transport Layer Security
   (TLS) using the StartTLS operation.

   This document details the simple Bind authentication method
   including anonymous, unauthenticated, and name/password mechanisms
   and the Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) Bind
   authentication method including the EXTERNAL mechanism.

   This document discusses various authentication and authorization
   states through which a session to an LDAP server may pass and the
   actions that trigger these state changes.

   This document, together with other documents in the LDAP Technical
   Specification (see section 1 of [Roadmap]), obsoletes RFC 2251, RFC
   2829 and RFC 2830.

Send a message to:

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ldapbis-authmeth-19.txt".

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
