A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Distribution: LDAP server transition to X.500 Author(s) : A. Lloyd Filename : draft-lloyd-ldap-distribution-00.txt Pages : 7 Date : 28-Sep-98 This document defines chaining arguments that can be applied to any LDAP operation for distributed/chained server to server operations. This approach to distribution for LDAP systems, enables a consistent transition of the LDAP single server environments, to the full functionality of X.500 distributed directory systems. This proposal is supported by two other proposals previously submitted as <draft-lloyd-ldap-svcs-00.txt> and <draft-lloyd-list-read-00.txt>. These proposals require that LDAP V3 is evolved to LDAP V4. LDAP V4 will enable LDAP clients and servers that access and interwork with X.500 systems, to more readily use (and integrate with) the full distribution and replication services offered by X.500. In addition this approach will provide better compatability with the higher functionality afforded to X.500 DAP clients. (Although the commonly known information restrictions of LDAP string encoding may still apply). The Chaining controls proposed in this draft will be carried with the original LDAP access client controls as defined in <draft-lloyd-ldap-svcs-00.txt> in the standard LDAP V4 operations (Search, List, etc) when it is used for server - server communication. ie. chaining.

Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-lloyd-ldap-distribution-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.
