Abstract

   This document defines and describes the IntermediateResponse message,
   a general mechanism for defining single-request/multiple-response
   operations in Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).  The
   IntermediateResponse message is defined in such a way that the
   protocol behavior of existing LDAP operations is maintained.  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.
