Lightweight Directory Access Protocol : The Protocol
RFC 4511, “Lightweight Directory Access Protocol : The Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2006 by J. Sermersheim. It obsoletes RFC 2251, RFC 2830, RFC 3771. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the protocol elements, along with their semantics and encodings, of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). LDAP provides access to distributed directory services that act in accordance with X.500 data and service models. These protocol elements are based on those described in the X.500 Directory Access Protocol (DAP). [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.
