2. Abstract 
    
   This document describes a Virtual List View extension for the 
   Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Search operation. This 
   extension is designed to allow the "virtual list box" feature, common 
   in existing commercial e-mail address book applications, to be 
   supported efficiently by LDAP servers. LDAP servers' inability to 
   support this client feature is a significant impediment to LDAP 
   replacing proprietary protocols in commercial e-mail systems. 
    
   The extension allows a client to specify that the server return, for 
   a given LDAP search with associated sort keys, a contiguous subset of 
   the search result set. This subset is specified in terms of offsets 
   into the ordered list, or in terms of a greater than or equal 
   comparison value.

3. Conventions used in this document 
   The key words "MUST", "SHALL", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", and "MAY" in 
   this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 
   [Bradner97]. 
    
   Protocol elements are described using ASN.1 [X.680].  The term "BER-
   encoded" means the element is to be encoded using the Basic Encoding 
   Rules [X.690] under the restrictions detailed in Section 5.1 of 
   [LDAPPROT]. 
    
   The phrase "subsequent virtual list request" is used in this document 
   to describe a search request accompanied by a VirtualListViewRequest 
   control, where the search base, scope, and filter are the same as a 
   previous search request also accompanied by a VirtualListViewRequest 
   control, and where the contextID of the subsequent 
   VirtualListViewRequest control, is set to that of the contextID in 
   the VirtualListViewResponse control that accompanied the previous 
   search response. 
    
   The phrase "contiguous virtual list request" is used to describe a 
   subsequent virtual list request which is requesting search results 
   adjoining or overlapping the result returned from the prior virtual 
   list request.  
    
    
4. Background 
    
   A Virtual List is a graphical user interface technique employed where 
   ordered lists containing a large number of entries need to be 
   displayed. A window containing a small number of visible list entries 
   is drawn. The visible portion of the list may be relocated to 
   different points within the list by means of user input. This input 
   can be to a scroll bar slider; from cursor keys; from page up/down 
   keys; from alphanumeric keys for "typedown". The user is given the 
   impression that they may browse the complete list at will, even 
   though it may contain millions of entries. It is the fact that the 
   complete list contents are never required at any one time that 
   characterizes Virtual List View. Rather than fetch the complete list 
   from wherever it is stored (typically from disk or a remote server), 
   only that information which is required to display the part of the 
   list currently in view is fetched. The subject of this document is 
   the interaction between client and server required to implement this 
   functionality in the context of the results from an ordered [SSS] 
   Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) search operation 
   [LDAPPROT]. 
    
   For example, suppose an e-mail address book application displays a 
   list view onto the list containing the names of all the holders of e-
   mail accounts at a large university. The list is ordered 
   alphabetically. While there may be tens of thousands of entries in 
   this list, the address book list view displays only 20 such accounts

   at any one time. The list has an accompanying scroll bar and text 
   input window for type-down. When first displayed, the list view shows 
   the first 20 entries in the list, and the scroll bar slider is 
   positioned at the top of its range. Should the user drag the slider 
   to the bottom of its range, the displayed contents of the list view 
   should be updated to show the last 20 entries in the list. Similarly, 
   if the slider is positioned somewhere in the middle of its travel, 
   the displayed contents of the list view should be updated to contain 
   the 20 entries located at that relative position within the complete 
   list. Starting from any display point, if the user uses the cursor 
   keys or clicks on the scroll bar to request that the list be scrolled 
   up or down by one entry, the displayed contents should be updated to 
   reflect this. Similarly the list should be displayed correctly when 
   the user requests a page scroll up or down. Finally, when the user 
   types characters in the type-down window, the displayed contents of 
   the list should "jump" or "seek" to the appropriate point within the 
   list. For example, if the user types "B", the displayed list could 
   center around the first user with a name beginning with the letter 
   "B". When this happens, the scroll bar slider should also be updated 
   to reflect the new relative location within the list. 
    
   This document defines a request control which extends the LDAP search 
   operation. Always used in conjunction with the server side sorting 
   control [SSS], this allows a client to retrieve selected portions of 
   large search result set in a fashion suitable for the implementation 
   of a virtual list view. 
    
    
5. Client-Server Interaction 
    
   The Virtual List View control extends a regular LDAP Search operation 
   which MUST also include a server-side sorting control [SSS]. Rather 
   than returning the complete set of appropriate SearchResultEntry 
   messages, the server is instructed to return a contiguous subset of 
   those entries, taken from the ordered result set, centered around a 
   particular target entry. Henceforth, in the interests of brevity, the 
   ordered search result set will be referred to as "the list". 
    
   The sort control may contain any sort specification valid for the 
   server. The attributeType field in the first SortKeyList sequence 
   element has special significance for "typedown". The Virtual List 
   View control acts upon a set of ordered entries and this order must 
   be repeatable for all subsequent virtual list requests. The server-
   side sorting control is intended to aid in this ordering, but other 
   mechanisms may need to be employed to produce a repeatable order--
   especially for entries that don't have a value of the sort key. 
    
   The desired target entry and the number of entries to be returned, 
   both before and after that target entry in the list, are determined 
   by the client's VirtualListViewRequest control.

                     Browsing of Search Results 
    
   When the server returns the set of entries to the client, it attaches 
   a VirtualListViewResponse control to the SearchResultDone message. 
   The server returns in this control: its current estimate for the list 
   content count, the location within the list corresponding to the 
   target entry, any error codes, and optionally a context identifier. 
    
   The target entry is specified in the VirtualListViewRequest control 
   by one of two methods. The first method is for the client to indicate 
   the target entry's offset within the list. The second way is for the 
   client to supply an attribute assertion value. The value is compared 
   against the values of the attribute specified as the primary sort key 
   in the sort control attached to the search operation. The first sort 
   key in the SortKeyList is the primary sort key. The target entry is 
   the first entry in the list with value greater than or equal to (in 
   the primary sort order), the presented value. The order is determined 
   by rules defined in [SSS]. Selection of the target entry by this 
   means is designed to implement "typedown". Note that it is possible 
   that no entry satisfies these conditions, in which case there is no 
   target entry. This condition is indicated by the server returning the 
   special value contentCount + 1 in the target position field.  
    
   Because the server may not have an accurate estimate of the number of 
   entries in the list, and to take account of cases where the list size 
   is changing during the time the user browses the list, and because 
   the client needs a way to indicate specific list targets "beginning" 
   and "end", offsets within the list are transmitted between client and 
   server as ratios---offset to content count. The server sends its 
   latest estimate as to the number of entries in the list (content 
   count) to the client in every response control. The client sends its 
   assumed value for the content count in every request control. The 
   server examines the content count and offsets presented by the client 
   and computes the corresponding offsets within the list, based on its 
   own idea of the content count. 
    
        Si = Sc * (Ci / Cc) 
    
        Where: 
        Si is the actual list offset used by the server 
        Sc is the server's estimate for content count 
        Ci is the client's submitted offset 
        Cc is the client's submitted content count 
        The result is rounded to the nearest integer. 
    
   If the content count is stable, and the client returns to the server 
   the content count most recently received, Cc = Sc and the offsets 
   transmitted become the actual server list offsets. 
    
   The following special cases exist when the client is specifying the 
   offset and content count:  
   - an offset of one and a content count of non-one (Ci = 1, Cc != 1) 
     indicates that the target is the first entry in the list. 
    
   Boreham et al           Internet-Draft                             4

                     Browsing of Search Results 
    
   - equivalent values (Ci = Cc) indicate that the target is the last 
     entry in the list. 
   - a content count of zero (Cc = 0, Ci != 0) means the client has no 
     idea what the content count is, the server MUST use its own 
     content count estimate in place of the client's. 
    
   Because the server always returns contentCount and targetPosition, 
   the client can always determine which of the returned entries is the 
   target entry. Where the number of entries returned is the same as the 
   number requested, the client is able to identify the target by simple 
   arithmetic. Where the number of entries returned is not the same as 
   the number requested (because the requested range crosses the 
   beginning or end of the list, or both), the client MUST use the 
   target position and content count values returned by the server to 
   identify the target entry. For example, suppose that 10 entries 
   before and 10 after the target were requested, but the server returns 
   13 entries, a content count of 100 and a target position of 3. The 
   client can determine that the first entry must be entry number 1 in 
   the list, therefore the 13 entries returned are the first 13 entries 
   in the list, and the target is the third one. 
    
   A server-generated contextID MAY be returned to clients. A client 
   receiving a contextID MUST return it unchanged or not return it at 
   all, in a subsequent request which relates to the same list. The 
   purpose of this interaction is to maintain state information between 
   the client and server. 
    
    
6. The Controls 
    
   Support for the virtual list view control extension is indicated by 
   the presence of the OID "2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.9" in the 
   supportedControl attribute of a server's root DSE. 
    
6.1. Request Control 
    
   This control is included in the SearchRequest message as part of the 
   controls field of the LDAPMessage, as defined in Section 4.1.12 of 
   [LDAPPROT]. The controlType is set to "2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.9". If 
   this control is included in a SearchRequest message, a Server Side 
   Sorting request control [SSS] MUST also be present in the message. 
   The controlValue, an OCTET STRING, is the BER-encoding of the 
   following SEQUENCE: 
    
   VirtualListViewRequest ::= SEQUENCE { 
          beforeCount    INTEGER (0..maxInt), 
          afterCount     INTEGER (0..maxInt), 
          target       CHOICE { 
                         byOffset        [0] SEQUENCE {                           
                              offset          INTEGER (1 .. maxInt), 
                              contentCount    INTEGER (0 .. maxInt) },

                         greaterThanOrEqual [1] AssertionValue }, 
          contextID     OCTET STRING OPTIONAL } 
    
   beforeCount indicates how many entries before the target entry the 
   client wants the server to send.  
    
   afterCount indicates the number of entries after the target entry the 
   client wants the server to send.  
    
   offset and contentCount identify the target entry as detailed in 
   section 5.  
    
   greaterThanOrEqual is a matching rule assertion value defined in 
   [LDAPPROT]. The assertion value is encoded according to the ORDERING 
   matching rule for the attributeDescription in the sort control [SSS]. 
   If present, the value supplied in greaterThanOrEqual is used to 
   determine the target entry by comparison with the values of the 
   attribute specified as the primary sort key. The first list entry 
   who's value is no less than (less than or equal to when the sort 
   order is reversed) the supplied value is the target entry.  
    
   If present, the contextID field contains the value of the most 
   recently received contextID field from a VirtualListViewResponse 
   control for the same list view. If the contextID is not known because 
   no contextID has been sent by the server in a VirtualListViewResponse 
   control, it SHALL be omitted. If the server receives a contextID that 
   is invalid, it SHALL fail the search operation and indicate the 
   failure with a protocolError (3) value in the virtualListViewResult 
   field of the VirtualListViewResponse. The contextID provides state 
   information between the client and server. This state information is 
   used by the server to ensure continuity contiguous virtual list 
   requests. When a server receives a VirtualListViewRequest control 
   that includes a contextID, it SHALL determine whether the client has 
   sent a contiguous virtual list request and SHALL provide contiguous 
   entries if possible. If a valid contextID is sent, and the server is 
   unable to determine whether contiguous data is requested, or is 
   unable to provide requested contiguous data, it SHALL fail the search 
   operation and indicate the failure with an unwillingToPerform (53) 
   value in the virtualListViewResult field of the 
   VirtualListViewResponse. contextID values have no validity outside 
   the connection and query with which they were received. A client MUST 
   NOT submit a contextID which it received from a different connection, 
   a different query, or a different server. 
    
   The type AssertionValue and value maxInt are defined in [LDAPPROT]. 
    
    
6.2. Response Control 
    


    
   Boreham et al           Internet-Draft                             6

                     Browsing of Search Results 
    
   If the request control is serviced, this response control is included 
   in the SearchResultDone message as part of the controls field of the 
   LDAPMessage, as defined in Section 4.1.12 of [LDAPPROT]. 
    
   The controlType is set to "2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.10". The 
   controlValue, an OCTET STRING, is the BER-encoding of the following 
   SEQUENCE: 
    
   VirtualListViewResponse ::= SEQUENCE { 
          targetPosition    INTEGER (0 .. maxInt), 
          contentCount     INTEGER (0 .. maxInt), 
          virtualListViewResult ENUMERATED { 
               success (0), 
               operationsError (1), 
               protocolError (3), 
               unwillingToPerform (53), 
               insufficientAccessRights (50), 
               timeLimitExceeded (3), 
               adminLimitExceeded (11), 
               innapropriateMatching (18), 
               sortControlMissing (60), 
               offsetRangeError (61), 
               other(80), 
               ... }, 
          contextID     OCTET STRING OPTIONAL } 
    
   targetPosition gives the list offset for the target entry.  
    
   contentCount gives the server's estimate of the current number of 
   entries in the list. Together these give sufficient information for 
   the client to update a list box slider position to match the newly 
   retrieved entries and identify the target entry. The contentCount 
   value returned SHOULD be used in a subsequent VirtualListViewRequest 
   control.  
    
   contextID is a server-defined octet string. If present, the contents 
   of the contextID field SHOULD be returned to the server by a client 
   in a subsequent virtual list request. The presence of a contextID 
   here indicates that the server is willing to return contiguous data 
   from a subsequent search request which uses the same search criteria, 
   accompanied by a VirtualListViewRequest which indicates that the 
   client wishes to receive an adjoining page of data. 
    
   The virtualListViewResult codes which are common to the LDAP 
   searchResultDone (adminLimitExceeded, timeLimitExceeded, 
   operationsError, unwillingToPerform, insufficientAccessRights, 
   success, other) have the same meanings as defined in [LDAPPROT], but 
   they pertain specifically to the VLV operation. For example, the 
   server could exceed a VLV-specific administrative limit while 
   processing a SearchRequest with a VirtualListViewRequest control. 
   Obviously, the same administrative limit would not be exceeded should 
    
   Boreham et al           Internet-Draft                             7 
    \f
                 LDAP Extensions for Scrolling View            Nov 2002 
                     Browsing of Search Results 
    
   the same SearchRequest be submitted by the client without the 
   VirtualListViewRequest control. In this case, the client can 
   determine that the administrative limit has been exceeded in 
   servicing the VLV request, and can if it chooses resubmit the 
   SearchRequest without the VirtualListViewRequest control, or with 
   different parameters. 
    
   insufficientAccessRights means that the server denied the client 
   permission to perform the VLV operation. 
    
   If the server determines that the results of the search presented 
   exceed the range specified in INTEGER values, or if the client 
   specifies an invalid offset or contentCount, the server MUST set the 
   virtualListViewResult value to offsetRangeError. 
    
6.2.1 virtualListViewError 
 
   A new LDAP error is introduced called virtualListViewError. Its value 
   is 76. This error indicates that the search operation failed due to 
   the inclusion of the VirtualListViewRequest control. 
    
   If the resultCode in the SearchResultDone message is set to 
   virtualListViewError (76), then the virtualListViewResult value MUST 
   NOT be success (as virtualListViewResult indicates the specific error 
   condition). If resultCode in the SearchResultDone message is not set 
   to virtualListViewError (76), then the virtualListViewResult value 
   SHOULD be success (0) and its value MUST be ignored. 
    
7. Protocol Example 
    
   Here we walk through the client-server interaction for a specific 
   virtual list view example: The task is to display a list of all 78564 
   persons in the US company "Ace Industry". This will be done by 
   creating a graphical user interface object to display the list 
   contents, and by repeatedly sending different versions of the same 
   virtual list view search request to the server. The list view 
   displays 20 entries on the screen at a time. 
    
   We form a search with baseObject of "o=Ace Industry,c=us"; scope of 
   wholeSubtree; and filter of "(objectClass=person)". We attach a 
   server-side sort control [SSS] to the search request, specifying 
   ascending sort on attribute "cn". To this search request, we attach a 
   virtual list view request control with contents determined by the 
   user activity and send the search request to the server. We display 
   the results from each search result entry in the list window and 
   update the slider position. 
    
   When the list view is first displayed, we want to initialize the 
   contents showing the beginning of the list. Therefore, we set 
   beforeCount to 0, afterCount to 19, contentCount to 0, offset to 1 
   and send the request to the server. The server duly returns the first 
    
   Boreham et al           Internet-Draft                             8 
    \f
                 LDAP Extensions for Scrolling View            Nov 2002 
                     Browsing of Search Results 
    
   20 entries in the list, plus a content count of 78564 and 
   targetPosition of 1. We therefore leave the scroll bar slider at its 
   current location (the top of its range). 
    
   Say that next the user drags the scroll bar slider down to the bottom 
   of its range. We now wish to display the last 20 entries in the list, 
   so we set beforeCount to 19, afterCount to 0, contentCount to 78564, 
   offset to 78564 and send the request to the server. The server 
   returns the last 20 entries in the list, plus a content count of 
   78564 and a targetPosition of 78564. 
    
   Next the user presses a page up key. Our page size is 20, so we set 
   beforeCount to 0, afterCount to 19, contentCount to 78564, offset to 
   78564-19-20 and send the request to the server. The server returns 
   the preceding 20 entries in the list, plus a content count of 78564 
   and a targetPosition of 78525. 
    
   Now the user grabs the scroll bar slider and drags it to 68% of the 
   way down its travel. 68% of 78564 is 53424 so we set beforeCount to 
   9, afterCount to 10, contentCount to 78564, offset to 53424 and send 
   the request to the server. The server returns the preceding 20 
   entries in the list, plus a content count of 78564 and a 
   targetPosition of 53424. 
    
   Lastly, the user types the letter "B". We set beforeCount to 9, 
   afterCount to 10 and greaterThanOrEqual to "B". The server finds the 
   first entry in the list not less than "B", let's say "Babs Jensen", 
   and returns the nine preceding entries, the target entry, and the 
   proceeding 10 entries. The server returns a content count of 78564 
   and a targetPosition of 5234 and so the client updates its scroll bar 
   slider to 6.7% of full scale. 
    
    
8. Notes for Implementers 
    
   While the feature is expected to be generally useful for arbitrary 
   search and sort specifications, it is specifically designed for those 
   cases where the result set is very large. The intention is that this 
   feature be implemented efficiently by means of pre-computed indices 
   pertaining to a set of specific cases. For example, an offset 
   relating to "all the employees in the local organization, sorted by 
   surname" would be a common case. 
    
   The intention for client software is that the feature should fit 
   easily with the host platform's graphical user interface facilities 
   for the display of scrolling lists. Thus the task of the client 
   implementers should be one of reformatting up the requests for 
   information received from the list view code to match the format of 
   the virtual list view request and response controls.

                     Browsing of Search Results 
    
   Client implementers MUST be aware that any offset value returned by 
   the server might be approximate. Do not design clients that only 
   operate correctly when offsets are exact. However, if contextIDs are 
   used, and adjoining pages of information are requested, the server 
   will return contiguous data. 
    
   Server implementers using indexing technology which features 
   approximate positioning should consider returning contextIDs to 
   clients. The use of a contextID will allow the server to distinguish 
   between client requests which relate to different displayed lists on 
   the client. Consequently the server can decide more intelligently 
   whether to reposition an existing database cursor accurately to 
   within a short distance of its current position, or to reposition to 
   an approximate position. Thus the client will see precise offsets for 
   "short" repositioning (e.g. paging up or down), but approximate 
   offsets for a "long" reposition (e.g. a slider movement). 
    
   Server implementers are free to return an LDAP result code of 
   virtualListViewError and a virtualListViewResult of 
   unwillingToPerform should their server be unable to service any 
   particular VLV search. This might be because the resolution of the 
   search is computationally infeasible, or because excessive server 
   resources would be required to service the search. 
    
   Client implementers should note that this control is only defined on 
   a client interaction with a single server. If a search scope spans 
   multiple naming contexts that are not held locally, search result 
   references will be returned, and may occur at any point in the search 
   operation. The client is responsible for deciding when and how to 
   apply this control to the referred-to servers, and how to collate the 
   results from multiple servers. 
    
    
9. Relationship to "Simple Paged Results" 
    
   These controls are designed to support the virtual list view, which 
   has proved hard to implement with the Simple Paged Results mechanism 
   [SPaged]. However, the controls described here support any operation 
   possible with the Simple Paged Results mechanism. The two mechanisms 
   are not complementary; rather one has a superset of the other's 
   features. One area where the mechanism presented here is not a strict 
   superset of the Simple Paged Results scheme is that here we require a 
   sort order to be specified. No such requirement is made for paged 
   results. 
    
    
10. Security Considerations 
    
   Server implementers may wish to consider whether clients are able to 
   consume excessive server resources in requesting virtual list 
   operations. Access control to the feature itself; configuration 
    
   Boreham et al           Internet-Draft                            10

   options limiting the feature's use to certain predetermined search 
   base DNs and filters; throttling mechanisms designed to limit the 
   ability for one client to soak up server resources, may be 
   appropriate. 
    
   Consideration should be given as to whether a client will be able to 
   retrieve the complete contents, or a significant subset of the 
   complete contents of the directory using this feature. This may be 
   undesirable in some circumstances and consequently it may be 
   necessary to enforce some access control or administrative limit. 
    
   Clients can, using this control, determine how many entries match a 
   particular filter, before the entries are returned to the client. 
   This may require special processing in servers which perform access 
   control checks on entries to determine whether the existence of the 
   entry can be disclosed to the client. 
    
   Server implementers should exercise caution concerning the content of 
   the contextID. Should the contextID contain internal server state, it 
   may be possible for a malicious client to use that information to 
   gain unauthorized access to information. 
    
11. IANA Considerations 
    
11.1 Request for LDAP Result Code 
    
   In accordance with section 3.6 of [LDAPIANA], it is requested that 
   IANA register the LDAP result code virtualListViewError (76) upon 
   Standards Action by the IESG. The value 76 has been suggested by 
   experts, had expert review, and is currently being used by some 
   implementations. If 76 is unavailable on not chosen, the value in the 
   paragraphs in Section 6.2.1 will need to be updated. The following 
   registration template is suggested: 
    
   Subject: LDAP Result Code Registration 
   Person & email address to contact for further information: Jim 
   Sermersheim  
   Result Code Name: virtualListViewError 
   Specification: RFCXXXX 
   Author/Change Controller: IESG 
   Comments:  request LDAP result codes be assigned
