A Revised Internet Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories. This draft is a work item of the OSI Directory Services 
Working Group of the IETF.                                            

       Title     : Lightweight Directory Access Protocol

The tremendous interest in X.500 technology in the Internet has lead 
to efforts to reduce the high ``cost of entry'' associated with use of
the technology, such as the Directory Assistance Service and DIXIE.  
While efforts such as these have met with success, they have been 
solutions based on particular implementations and as such have limited
applicability.  This document continues the efforts to define 
Directory protocol alternatives but departs from previous efforts in 
that it consciously avoids dependence on particular implementations.  

The protocol described in this document is the first of a series of 
protocols designed to provide access to the Directory while not 
incurring the resource requirements of the Directory Access Protocol 
(DAP).  This protocol is specifically targeted at simple management 
applications and browser applications that provide simple read/write 
interactive access to the Directory, and is intended to be a 
complement to the DAP itself.
