A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the LDAP Extension Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Named Referrals in LDAP Directories
	Author(s)	: C. Lukas, T. Howes, M. Roszkowski, M. Smith, M. Wahl  
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ldapext-namedref-00.txt
	Pages		: 13
	Date		: 09-Jun-99
	
This document defines a 'ref' attribute and associated 'referral' object
class for representing generic knowledge information in LDAP directories
[RFC2251]. The attribute uses URIs [RFC1738] to represent knowledge,
enabling LDAP and non-LDAP services alike to be referenced.  The object
class can be used to construct entries in an LDAP directory containing
references to other directories or services. This document also defines
procedures directory servers should follow when supporting these schema
elements and when responding to requests for which the directory server
does not contain the requested object but may contain some knowledge of
the location of the requested object.

Send a message to:
	mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ldapext-namedref-00.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.
