+              Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (v3):
+                        Technical Specification
+
+Status of this Memo
+
+   This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
+   Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
+   improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
+   Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
+   and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

+
+Abstract
+
+   This document specifies the set of RFCs comprising the Lightweight
+   Directory Access Protocol Version 3 (LDAPv3), and addresses the "IESG
+   Note" attached to RFCs 2251 through 2256.
+
+1.  Background and Motivation
+
+   The specification for the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
+   version 3 (LDAPv3) nominally comprises eight RFCs which were issued
+   in two distinct subsets at separate times -- RFCs 2251 through 2256
+   first, then RFCs 2829 and 2830 following later.
+
+   RFC 2251 through 2256 do not mandate the implementation of any
+   satisfactory authentication mechanisms and hence were published with
+   an "IESG Note" discouraging implementation and deployment of LDAPv3
+   clients or servers implementing update functionality until a Proposed
+   Standard for mandatory authentication in LDAPv3 is published.
+
+   RFC 2829 was subsequently published in answer to the IESG Note.
+
+   The purpose of this document is to explicitly specify the set of RFCs
+   comprising LDAPv3, and formally address the IESG Note through
+   explicit inclusion of RFC 2829.

+RFC 3377            LDAPv3: Technical Specification       September 2002
+
+
+2.  Specification of LDAPv3
+
+   The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol version 3 (LDAPv3) is
+   specified by this set of nine RFCs:
+
+      [RFC2251]  Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (v3) [the
+                 specification of the LDAP on-the-wire protocol]
+
+      [RFC2252]  Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (v3):  Attribute
+                 Syntax Definitions
+
+      [RFC2253]  Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (v3):  UTF-8
+                 String Representation of Distinguished Names
+
+      [RFC2254]  The String Representation of LDAP Search Filters
+
+      [RFC2255]  The LDAP URL Format
+
+      [RFC2256]  A Summary of the X.500(96) User Schema for use with
+                 LDAPv3
+
+      [RFC2829]  Authentication Methods for LDAP
+
+      [RFC2830]  Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (v3):  Extension
+                 for Transport Layer Security
+
+      And, this document (RFC3377).
+
+   The term "LDAPv3" is often used informally to refer to the protocol
+   specified by the above set of RFCs, or subsets thereof.  However, the
+   LDAPv3 protocol suite, as defined here, should be formally identified
+   in other documents by a normative reference to this document.
+
+3.  Addressing the "IESG Note" in RFCs 2251 through 2256
+
+   The IESG approved publishing RFCs 2251 through 2256 with an attendant
+   IESG Note included in each document.  The Note begins with:
+
+      This document describes a directory access protocol that provides
+      both read and update access.  Update access requires secure
+      authentication, but this document does not mandate implementation
+      of any satisfactory authentication mechanisms.
+
+
+

+
+RFC 3377            LDAPv3: Technical Specification       September 2002
+
+
+   The Note ends with this statement:
+
+      Implementors are hereby discouraged from deploying LDAPv3 clients
+      or servers which implement the update functionality, until a
+      Proposed Standard for mandatory authentication in LDAPv3 has been
+      approved and published as an RFC.
+
+   [RFC2829] is expressly the "Proposed Standard for mandatory
+   authentication in LDAPv3" called for in the Note.  Thus, the IESG
+   Note in [RFC2251], [RFC2252], [RFC2253], [RFC2254], [RFC2255], and
+   [RFC2256] is addressed.
+
+4.  Security Considerations
+
+   This document does not directly discuss security, although the
+   context of the aforementioned IESG Note is security related, as is
+   the manner in which it is addressed.
+
+   Please refer to the referenced documents, especially [RFC2829],
+   [RFC2251], and [RFC2830], for further information concerning LDAPv3
+   security.

+   might or might not be available; neither does it represent that it
+   has made any effort to identify any such rights.  Information on the
+   IETF's procedures with respect to rights in standards-track and
+   standards-related documentation can be found in BCP-11.  Copies of
+   claims of rights made available for publication and any assurances of
+   licenses to be made available, or the result of an attempt made to
+   obtain a general license or permission for the use of such
+   proprietary rights by implementors or users of this specification can
+   be obtained from the IETF Secretariat.
+
+   The IETF invites any interested party to bring to its attention any
+   copyrights, patents or patent applications, or other proprietary
+   rights which may cover technology that may be required to practice
+   this standard.  Please address the information to the IETF Executive
+   Director.
