Lightweight Directory Access Protocol and X.500 Component Matching Rules
RFC 3687, “Lightweight Directory Access Protocol and X.500 Component Matching Rules”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2004 by S. Legg. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The syntaxes of attributes in a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) or X.500 directory range from simple data types, such as text string, integer, or boolean, to complex structured data types, such as the syntaxes of the directory schema operational attributes. Matching rules defined for the complex syntaxes usually only provide the most immediately useful matching capability. This document defines generic matching rules that can match any user selected component parts in an attribute value of any arbitrarily complex attribute syntax. [PROPOSED STANDARD]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
