A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the LDAP Duplication/Replication/Update Protocols Working Group of the IETF.
Title : The LDUP Replication Update Protocol
Author(s) : E. Stokes
Filename : draft-ietf-ldup-protocol-04.txt
Pages : 19
Date : 2003-3-4
The protocol described in this document is designed to allow one
LDAP server to replicate its directory content to another LDAP
server. The protocol is designed to be used in a replication
configuration where multiple updateable servers are present.
Provisions are made in the protocol to carry information that allows
the server receiving updates to apply a total ordering to all
updates in the replicated system. This total ordering allows all
replicas to correctly resolve conflicts that arise when LDAP clients
submit changes to different servers that later replicate to one
another.
All protocol elements described here are LDAPv3 extended operations
and controls. LDAPv3 is described in RFC 2251 [LDAPv3]. Some LDAPv3
extended operations and controls described here are LDAPv3 extended
operations used to group related operations. The protocol elements
used for grouping are described in LDAPv3: Grouping of Related
Operations [GROUPING].
Certain terms used in this document are defined in the document
'LDAP Replication Architecture' [ARCHITECTURE].

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ldup-protocol-04.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
