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.
