Returning Matched Values with the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol version 3

Overview

RFC 3876, “Returning Matched Values with the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol version 3”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2004 by D. Chadwick, S. Mullan. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document describes a control for the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol version 3 that is used to return a subset of attribute values from an entry. Specifically, only those values that match a "values return" filter. Without support for this control, a client must retrieve all of an attribute's values and search for specific values locally. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
