Folks, For the benefit of PKI LDAP clients (among other things), this is the I-D that reintroduces the ";binary" attribute option that has been removed from the LDAPbis core documents for the LDAPv3 draft standard. Regards, Steven -----Original Message----- From: owner-ietf-announce@ietf.org [mailto:owner-ietf-announce@ietf.org] On Behalf Of Internet-Drafts@ietf.org Sent: Friday, 20 June 2003 21:34 To: IETF-Announce: ; Subject: I-D ACTION:draft-legg-ldap-binary-00.txt A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : LDAP: The Binary Encoding Option Author(s) : S. Legg Filename : draft-legg-ldap-binary-00.txt Pages : 9 Date : 2003-6-19 Each attribute stored in a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory has a defined syntax (i.e. data type). A syntax definition specifies how attribute values conforming to the syntax are normally represented when transferred in LDAP operations. This representation is referred to as the LDAP-specific encoding to distinguish it from other methods of encoding attribute values. This document defines an attribute option, the binary option, which can be used to specify that the associated attribute values are instead encoded according to the Basic Encoding Rules (BER) used by X.500 directories. A URL for this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-legg-ldap-binary-00.txt To remove yourself from the IETF Announcement list, send a message to ietf-announce-request with the word unsubscribe in the body of the message. Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-legg-ldap-binary-00.txt". A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-legg-ldap-binary-00.txt". 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. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
