The IESG has approved the following document: - 'LDAP Cancel Operation ' <draft-zeilenga-ldap-cancel-11.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 The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) [RFC3377] provides an Abandon operation [RFC2251] which clients may use to cancel other operations. The Abandon operation does not have a response and calls for there to be no response of the abandoned operation. These semantics provide the client with no clear indication of the outcome of the Abandon operation. The LDAP Cancel operation should be used instead of the LDAP Abandon operation when the client needs an indication of the outcome. This operation may be used to cancel both interrogation and update operations. Working Group Summary This is an individual submission, but there are working group documents (e.g. the LDUP working group's LCUP specification) which depend on it. There were no issues raised during Last Call, and the IETF LDAP community seems to be in favor adopting this mechanism as a parallel mechanism to the DAP abandon operation. Protocol Quality This document was reviewed for the IESG by Ted Hardie. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
