This draft is a work item of the LDAP Extension Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: An LDAP Control and Schema for Holding Operation 
			  Signatures

In many environments clients require the ability to validiate the
source and integrity of information provided by the directory.   This
document describes an LDAP message control which allows for the
retrieval of digitally signed information. This document defines an LDAP
v3 based mechanism for signing directory operations in order to create a
secure journal of changes that have been made to each directory entry.
Both client and server based signatures are supported.  An object class
for subsequent retrieval are 'journal entries' is also defined.  This
document specifies LDAP v3 controls that enable this functionality.  It
also defines an LDAP v3 schema that allows for subsequent browsing of
the journal information.

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.
