Abstract
1. Background and Intended Usage
This document defines the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
- [Roadmap] Don't Use Copy control extension. The control may be
+ [RFC4510] Don't Use Copy control extension. The control may be
attached to request messages to indicate that copied (replicated or
cached) information [X.500] should not be used in providing service.
This control is based upon the X.511 [X.511] dontUseCopy service
3. The Don't Use Copy Control
- The Don't Use Copy control is an LDAP Control [Protocol] whose

controlType is IANA-ASSIGNED-OID and controlValue is absent. The

inappropriate for all other operations, including Abandon, Bind,

+ Delete, Modify, ModifyDN, StartTLS, and Unbind operations [RFC4511].
When the control is attached to an LDAP request, the requested
operation MUST NOT be performed on copied information. That is, the

- If original information for the target or base object of the operation
is not available (either locally or through chaining), the server MUST
either return a referral directing the client to a server believed to
be better able to service the request or return an appropriate result
code (e.g., unwillingToPerform).
+ Servers implementing this technical specification SHOULD publish the
+ object identifier IANA-ASSIGNED-OID as a value of the
+ 'supportedControl' attribute [RFC4512] in their root DSE. A server
+ MAY choose to advertise this extension only when the client is
+ authorized to use it.

4. Security Considerations
consider whether use of copied information, in particular security and
policy information, may result insecure behavior.
