	Title		: LDAP: Authentication Methods and Connection Level 
                          Security Mechanism

This document describes LDAPv3 (Lightweight Directory Access 
Protocol v3) authentication methods and connection level security 
mechanisms that are required of all conforming LDAPv3 server 
implementations and makes recommendations for combinations of these 
mechanisms to be used in various deployment circumstances.  
Among the mechanisms described are 
- various forms of authentication including anonymous 
authentication, password-based authentication, and certificate 
based authentication 
- the use of SASL mechanisms with LDAPv3 
- the use of TLS (Transport Layer Security) with LDAPv3 
- the various authentication and authorization states through 
which a connection to an LDAP server may pass and the actions 
that trigger these state changes.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
