Protocol Action: LDAP Control Extension for Server Side Sorting of Search Results to Proposed Standard
The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'LDAP Control Extension for
Server Side Sorting of Search Results'
<draft-ietf-ldapext-sorting-03.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This
document is the product of the LDAP Extension Working Group. The IESG
contact persons are Ned Freed and Patrik Faltstrom.
Technical Summary
This document describes two LDAPv3 control extensions for server side
sorting of search results. These controls allows a client to specify the
attribute types and matching rules a server should use when returning
the results to an LDAP search request.
The sort controls allow a server to return a result code for the sorting
of the results that is independent of the result code returned for the
search operation.
Working Group Summary
There have been consensus in the working group about this way of
implementing the control extension. The extension very closely fits
together with the extension for pages result sets, which is published
as RFC 2696.
Protocol Quality
The document is reviewed by Patrik Faltstrom.
