Abstract

摘要

The Connection-less Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (CLDAP) technical specification, RFC 1798, was published in 1995 as a Proposed Standard. This document discusses the reasons why the CLDAP technical specification has not been furthered on the Standard Track. This document recommends that RFC 1798 be moved to Historic status.

无连接轻型目录访问协议(CLDAP)技术规范RFC1798于1995年作为提议的标准发布。本文件讨论了CLDAP技术规范未在标准轨道上进一步完善的原因。本文件建议将RFC 1798移至历史状态。

1. Background
1. 出身背景

Connection-less Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (CLDAP) [RFC1798] was published in 1995 as a Proposed Standard. The protocol was targeted at applications which require lookup of small amounts of information held in the directory. The protocol avoids the overhead of establishing (and closing) a connection and the session bind and unbind operations needed in connection-oriented directory access protocols. The CLDAP was designed to complement version 2 of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAPv2) [RFC1777], now Historic [HISTORIC].

无连接轻型目录访问协议(CLDAP)[RFC1798]于1995年作为提议的标准发布。该协议针对需要查找目录中少量信息的应用程序。该协议避免了建立(和关闭)连接以及面向连接的目录访问协议中所需的会话绑定和解除绑定操作的开销。CLDAP的设计是为了补充轻型目录访问协议(LDAPv2)[RFC1777]的第2版,现在已经成为历史[Historical]。

In the seven years since its publication, CLDAP has not become widely deployed on the Internet. There are a number of probable reasons for this:

CLDAP自发布以来的七年中,尚未在互联网上广泛部署。原因可能有很多:

- Limited functionality: + anonymous only, + read only, + small result sizes only, and

- 功能有限:+仅匿名、+只读、+仅结果大小较小,以及

- Insufficient security capabilities: + no integrity protection, + no confidentiality protection - Inadequate internationalization support; - Insufficient extensibility; and - Lack of multiple independently developed implementations.

- 安全功能不足:+没有完整性保护,+没有机密性保护-国际化支持不足;-可扩展性不足;和-缺少多个独立开发的实现。

The CLDAP technical specification has normative references to multiple obsolete technical specifications including X.501(88), X.511(88), RFC 1487 (the predecessor to RFC 1777, the now Historic LDAPv2 technical specification). Unless the technical specification were to be updated, CLDAP cannot remain on the standards track because of the Normative reference to a Historic RFC.

CLDAP技术规范引用了多个过时的技术规范,包括X.501(88)、X.511(88)、RFC 1487(RFC 1777的前身,现在历史悠久的LDAPv2技术规范)。除非更新技术规范,否则CLDAP不能保持在标准轨道上,因为对历史RFC的规范性引用。

The community recognized in the mid-1990s that CLDAP needed to be updated. In response to this, the IETF chartered the LDAP Extensions Working Group (LDAPext WG) in 1997 to undertake this update. The LDAPext WG is concluding without producing an update to CLDAP. Currently, there is no standardization effort to update CLDAP.

20世纪90年代中期,社区认识到CLDAP需要更新。对此,IETF于1997年授权LDAP扩展工作组(LDAPext WG)进行此更新。LDAPext工作组即将结束,但未对CLDAP进行更新。目前,没有更新CLDAP的标准化工作。

It should be noted that the community still has interest in developing a "connection-less" directory access protocol. However, based on operational experience, has determined that further experimentation is necessary to address outstanding technical issues. In particular, security considerations associated with "connection-less" services need to be addressed.

应该注意的是,社区仍然对开发“无连接”目录访问协议感兴趣。然而,根据运行经验,已确定有必要进行进一步试验,以解决悬而未决的技术问题。特别是,需要解决与“无连接”服务相关的安全问题。

2. Recommendation
2. 正式建议

As there is no viable standardization effort to update CLDAP as necessary to keep it on the standards track and the community currently considers this an area requiring further experimentation, RFC 1798 must be moved to Historic status.

由于没有可行的标准化工作来更新CLDAP,使其保持在标准轨道上,并且社区目前认为这是一个需要进一步试验的领域,因此必须将RFC 1798移至历史地位。

It is recommended that those interested in connection-less access to X.500-based directory services experiment with [LDAPUDP] and other alternatives which might become available.

建议那些对基于X.500的目录服务的无连接访问感兴趣的人尝试使用[LDAPUDP]和其他可能可用的替代方法。

3. Security Considerations
3. 安全考虑

The security of the Internet will not be impacted by the retirement of CLDAP.

CLDAP的退役不会影响互联网的安全。
