The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Intermediate Response Message' <draft-rharrison-ldap-intermediate-resp-01.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Ted Hardie. Technical Summary This document defines and describes the IntermediateResponse message, a general mechanism for defining single-request/multiple-response operations in LDAP. The IntermediateResponse message is defined in a way that maintains the protocol behavior of existing LDAP operations. This message is intended to be used in conjunction with the LDAP ExtendedRequest and ExtendedResponse to define new single-request/multiple-response operations or in conjunction with a control when extending existing LDAP operations in a way that requires them to return intermediate response information. Working Group Summary This was an individual submission. Protocol Quality This was reviewed by the LDAP directorate and Ted Hardie for the IESG.
