Abstract

   This document provides procedures for registering extensible elements
   of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).  This document
   also provides guidelines to the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
   (IANA) describing conditions under which new values can be assigned.

1. Introduction

   The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) [RFC 3377] is an
   extensible protocol.  LDAP supports:

   - addition of new operations,
   - extension of existing operations, and
   - extensible schema.

   This document details procedures for registering values of used to
   unambiguously identify extensible elements of the protocol including:

   - LDAP message types;
   - LDAP extended operations and controls;
   - LDAP result codes;
   - LDAP authentication methods;
   - LDAP attribute description options; and
   - Object Identifier descriptors.

   These registries are maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers
   Authority (IANA).
