This document describes authentication methods and connection level
   security mechanisms of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
   (LDAP). 

   This document details establishment of TLS (Transport Layer
   Security) using the StartTLS operation.

   This document details the simple Bind authentication method
   including anonymous, unauthenticated, and plain-text password
   mechanisms and the SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer)
   Bind authentication method including DIGEST-MD5 and EXTERNAL
   mechanisms.

   This document discusses various authentication and authorization
   states through which a connection to an LDAP server may pass and the
   actions that trigger these state changes.

Send a message to:

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ldapbis-authmeth-15.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.
