Lightweight Directory Access Protocol : Internationalized String Preparation
RFC 4518, “Lightweight Directory Access Protocol : Internationalized String Preparation”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2006 by K. Zeilenga. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The previous Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) technical specifications did not precisely define how character string matching is to be performed. This led to a number of usability and interoperability problems. This document defines string preparation algorithms for character-based matching rules defined for use in LDAP. [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.
