Extensible Provisioning Protocol
RFC 3730, “Extensible Provisioning Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2004 by S. Hollenbeck. It has been obsoleted by RFC 4930 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes an application layer client-server protocol for the provisioning and management of objects stored in a shared central repository. Specified in XML, the protocol defines generic object management operations and an extensible framework that maps protocol operations to objects. This document includes a protocol specification, an object mapping template, and an XML media type registration. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
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.
