Abstract This document updates the specification of the component matching rules for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and X.500 directories (draft-legg-ldapext-component-matching-xx.txt) by collecting the Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) definitions of the component matching rules into an appropriately identified ASN.1 module so that other specifications may reference the component Legg Expires 7 July 2004 [Page 1] INTERNET-DRAFT Module for Component Matching January 7, 2004 matching rule definitions from within their own ASN.1 modules. 1. Introduction The structure or data type of data held in an attribute of a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) [LDAP] or X.500 [X500] directory is described by the attribute's syntax. Attribute syntaxes range from simple data types, such as text string, integer, or boolean, to complex data types, for example, the syntaxes of the directory schema operational attributes. RFC XXXX [CMR] defines a generic way of matching user selected components in a directory attribute value of any arbitrarily complex attribute syntax. This document updates RFC XXXX by collecting the Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) [ASN1] definitions of RFC XXXX into an appropriately identified ASN.1 module so that other specifications may reference these definitions from within their own ASN.1 modules. 2.

The object identifiers used in this document have been assigned for use in specifying the component matching rules by Adacel Technologies, under an arc assigned to Adacel by Standards Australia. 3. Security Considerations This document collects together the ASN.1 definitions of the component matching rules into an ASN.1 module, but does not modify those definitions in any way. See RFC XXXX [CMR] for the security considerations of using the component matching rules. 4. References 4.1.
