Zeilenga, Ed. +Request for Comments: 4510 OpenLDAP Foundation +Obsoletes: 2251, 2252, 2253, 2254, 2255, June 2006 + 2256, 2829, 2830, 3377, 3771 +Category: Standards Track + + + Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP): + Technical Specification Road Map + +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. + +Copyright Notice + + Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2006). + +Abstract + + The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an Internet + protocol for accessing distributed directory services that act in + accordance with X.500 data and service models. This document + provides a road map of the LDAP Technical Specification. + +1. The LDAP Technical Specification + + The technical specification detailing version 3 of the Lightweight + Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), an Internet Protocol, consists of + this document and the following documents: + + LDAP: The Protocol [RFC4511] + LDAP: Directory Information Models [RFC4512] + LDAP: Authentication Methods and Security Mechanisms [RFC4513] + LDAP: String Representation of Distinguished Names [RFC4514] + LDAP: String Representation of Search Filters [RFC4515] + LDAP: Uniform Resource Locator [RFC4516] + LDAP: Syntaxes and Matching Rules [RFC4517] + LDAP: Internationalized String Preparation [RFC4518] + LDAP: Schema for User Applications [RFC4519] + + + + + + + +Zeilenga Standards Track [Page 1] + +RFC 4510 LDAP: TS Road Map June 2006 + + + The terms "LDAP" and "LDAPv3" are commonly used to refer informally + to the protocol specified by this technical specification. The LDAP + suite, as defined here, should be formally identified in other + documents by a normative reference to this document. + + LDAP is an extensible protocol. Extensions to LDAP may be specified + in other documents. Nomenclature denoting such combinations of + LDAP-plus-extensions is not defined by this document but may be + defined in some future document(s). Extensions are expected to be + truly optional. Considerations for the LDAP extensions described in + BCP 118, RFC 4521 [RFC4521] fully apply to this revision of the LDAP + Technical Specification. + + IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) considerations for LDAP + described in BCP 64, RFC 4520 [RFC4520] apply fully to this revision + of the LDAP technical specification. + +1.1. Conventions + + The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", + "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this + document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119]. + +2. Relationship to X.500 + + This technical specification defines LDAP in terms of [X.500] as an + X.500 access mechanism. An LDAP server MUST act in accordance with + the X.500 (1993) series of International Telecommunication Union - + Telecommunication Standardization (ITU-T) Recommendations when + providing the service. However, it is not required that an LDAP + server make use of any X.500 protocols in providing this service. + For example, LDAP can be mapped onto any other directory system so + long as the X.500 data and service models [X.501][X.511], as used in + LDAP, are not violated in the LDAP interface. + + This technical specification explicitly incorporates portions of + X.500(93). Later revisions of X.500 do not automatically apply to + this technical specification. + +3. Relationship to Obsolete Specifications + + This technical specification, as defined in Section 1, obsoletes + entirely the previously defined LDAP technical specification defined + in RFC 3377 (and consisting of RFCs 2251-2256, 2829, 2830, 3771, and + 3377 itself). The technical specification was significantly + reorganized. + + + + + +Zeilenga Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 4510 LDAP: TS Road Map June 2006 + + + This document replaces RFC 3377 as well as Section 3.3 of RFC 2251. + [RFC4512] replaces portions of RFC 2251, RFC 2252, and RFC 2256. + [RFC4511] replaces the majority RFC 2251, portions of RFC 2252, and + all of RFC 3771. [RFC4513] replaces RFC 2829, RFC 2830, and portions + of RFC 2251. [RFC4517] replaces the majority of RFC 2252 and + portions of RFC 2256. [RFC4519] replaces the majority of RFC 2256. + [RFC4514] replaces RFC 2253. [RFC4515] replaces RFC 2254. [RFC4516] + replaces RFC 2255. + + [RFC4518] is new to this revision of the LDAP technical + specification. + + Each document of this specification contains appendices summarizing + changes to all sections of the specifications they replace. Appendix + A.1 of this document details changes made to RFC 3377. Appendix A.2 + of this document details changes made to Section 3.3 of RFC 2251. + + Additionally, portions of this technical specification update and/or + replace a number of other documents not listed above. These + relationships are discussed in the documents detailing these portions + of this technical specification. + +4. Security Considerations + + LDAP security considerations are discussed in each document + comprising the technical specification. + +5.

Wahl, T. Howes, and S. + Kille, a product of the ASID Working Group. + + This document is a product of the IETF LDAPBIS Working Group. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Zeilenga Standards Track [Page 3] + +RFC 4510 LDAP: TS Road Map June 2006 + + +6.

Changes to Previous Documents + + This appendix outlines changes this document makes relative to the + documents it replaces (in whole or in part). + +A.1. Changes to RFC 3377 + + This document is nearly a complete rewrite of RFC 3377 as much of the + material of RFC 3377 is no longer applicable. The changes include + redefining the terms "LDAP" and "LDAPv3" to refer to this revision of + the technical specification. + +A.2. Changes to Section 3.3 of RFC 2251 + + The section was modified slightly (the word "document" was replaced + with "technical specification") to clarify that it applies to the + entire LDAP technical specification. + +Author's Address + + Kurt D.
