The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (v3): Extensions for Dynamic Directory Services' <draft-ietf-asid-ldapv3-dynamic-08.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This document is the product of the Access, Searching and Indexing of Directories Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Keith Moore and Patrik Faltstrom. Technical Summary The spec defines a dynamic directory entry in LDAPv3. A dynamic entry is an object in the directory tree which has a time-to-live associated with it. This time-to-live is set when the entry is created. The time-to-live is automatically decremented, and when it expires the dynamic entry disappears. A client can though do a refresh on the ttl to make the object persist longer in the server. Working Group Summary Dynamic objects for LDAPv3 was first discussed in the ASID working group (hence the name of the I-D) but the document was taken over by the LDAPEXT wg where the final details where discussed, and where consensus over the document was reached. Protocol Quality The spec was reviewed by Patrik Faltstrom.
