The protocol described in this document is designed to provide access
to the X.500 Directory while not incurring the resource requirements
of the Directory Access Protocol (DAP). This protocol is specifically
targeted at simple management applications and browser applications
that provide simple read/write interactive access to the X.500
Directory, and is intended to be a complement to the DAP itself.  This
RFC is the product of the Internet Directories Working Group of the
IETF.

This is now a Draft 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.

This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list
