RFC 3687

Title: Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and X.500 Component Matching Rules Author(s): S. Legg Status: Standards Track Date: February 2004 Mailbox: steven.legg@adacel.com.au Pages: 42 Characters: 96256 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None

The syntaxes of attributes in a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) or X.500 directory range from simple data types, such as text string, integer, or boolean, to complex structured data types, such as the syntaxes of the directory schema operational attributes. Matching rules defined for the complex syntaxes usually only provide the most immediately useful matching capability. This document defines generic matching rules that can match any user selected component parts in an attribute value of any arbitrarily complex attribute syntax.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
