LDAP (v3) Revision BOF (ldapbis) Wednesday, August 2 at 1530-1730 ================================ CHAIR: Kurt Zeilenga RL "Bob" Morgan DESCRIPTION: Introduction: LDAPv3 core specifications (RFC 2251-56) must be revised if they are to be progressed to Draft Standard per the IESG Note contained within these documents. With the approval of RFC 2829 and 2830, the necessary secure authentication mechanisms to obtain Draft Standard status are now available. In addition, the community has obtain a wealth of operational experience using the current specifications. The community has identified a number of areas where the specifications need to amended. These amendments include a few significant substantive changes, a fair number of lessor substantive changes, and many clarifications. A forum for discussing and addressing these issues is needed. Purpose: The purpose of this BOF is to discuss proposed updates to the LDAPv3 core protocol specification (RFC 2251-56, 2829-30), to identify work items, and discuss formation of a working group specifically chartered to address identified work items. Extensions to LDAPv3 are not within the scope of this BOF as this is the realm of existing IETF working groups. Background: The LDAPv3 specifications were developed by the ASID and LDAPext working groups. The ASID working group is defunct. The LDAPext WG is focused on significant protocol extensions such as Access Control, APIs, Referrals, and CLDAP. A separate working group is currently proposed to focus energies to address LDAPv3 specification updates while not distracting LDAPext from their chartered work. However, at the discretion of the IESG, work items identified by this BOF may be assigned to LDAPext or other appropriate WG (after appropriate charter review).
