-INTERNET-DRAFT draft-zeilenga-ldap-dontusecopy-04 14 February 2007
-
-
-Abstract
-
- This document defines the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
- Don't Use Copy control extension which allows a client to specify that
- copied information should not be used in providing service. This
- control is based upon the X.511 dontUseCopy service control option.
-
-
-1. Background and Intended Usage
-
- This document defines the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
- [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
- control option.
-
- The Don't Use Copy control is intended to be used where the client
- requires the service be provided using original (master) information
- [X.500].
-
-
-2. Terminology
-
- DSA stands for Directory System Agent (or server).
- DSE stands for DSA-specific Entry.
-
- The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
- "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
- document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119].
-
-
-3. The Don't Use Copy Control
-
- The Don't Use Copy control is an LDAP Control [RFC4511] whose
- controlType is IANA-ASSIGNED-OID and controlValue is absent. The
- criticality MUST be TRUE. There is no corresponding response control.
-
- The control is appropriate for both LDAP interrogation operations,
- including Compare and Search operations [RFC4511]. It is
- 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
- requested operation MUST be performed on original information.
-
- 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
-
- This control is intended to be provided where providing service using
- copied information might lead to unexpected application behavior.
- Designers of directory applications should consider where it is
- appropriate for clients to provide this control. Designers should
- consider whether use of copied information, in particular security and
- policy information, may result insecure behavior.
-
- Security considerations for the base operations [RFC4511] extended by
- this control, as well as general LDAP security considerations
- [RFC4510], generally apply to implementation and use of this
- extension.
-
-
-5. IANA Considerations
-
-5.1. Object Identifier
-
- It is requested that IANA assign upon Standards Action an LDAP Object
- Identifier [RFC4520] to identify the LDAP Don't Use Copy Control
- defined in this document.
