Lightweight Directory Access Protocol : String Representation of Search Filters
RFC 4515, “Lightweight Directory Access Protocol : String Representation of Search Filters”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2006 by M. Smith, T. Howes. It obsoletes RFC 2254. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) search filters are transmitted in the LDAP protocol using a binary representation that is appropriate for use on the network. This document defines a human-readable string representation of LDAP search filters that is appropriate for use in LDAP URLs (RFC 4516) and in other applications. [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.
