Abstract
|
||
|
||
This specification describes a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
|
||
(LDAP) extended operation to cancel (or abandon) an outstanding
|
||
operation. Unlike the LDAP Abandon operation, but like the X.511
|
||
Directory Access Protocol (DAP) Abandon operation, this operation has
|
||
a response which provides an indication of its outcome.
|
||
|
||
1. Background and Intent of Use
|
||
|
||
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) [RFC3377] provides
|
||
an Abandon operation [RFC2251] which clients may use to cancel other
|
||
operations. The Abandon operation does not have a response and
|
||
requires no response from the abandoned operation. These semantics
|
||
provide the client with no clear indication of the outcome of the
|
||
Abandon operation.
|
||
|
||
The X.511 Directory Access Protocol (DAP) [X.511] provides an Abandon
|
||
operation which has a response and also requires the abandoned
|
||
operation to return a response indicating it was canceled. The LDAP
|
||
Cancel operation is modeled after the DAP Abandon operation.
|
||
|
||
The LDAP Cancel operation SHOULD be used instead of the LDAP Abandon
|
||
operation when the client needs an indication of the outcome. This
|
||
operation may be used to cancel both interrogation and update
|
||
operations.

RFC 3909 LDAP Cancel Operation October 2004
|
||
|
||
|
||
Protocol elements are described using ASN.1 [X.680] with implicit
|
||
tags. The term "BER-encoded" means the element is to be encoded
|
||
using the Basic Encoding Rules [X.690] under the restrictions
|
||
detailed in Section 5.1 of [RFC2251].
|
||
|
||
DSA stands for Directory System Agent (or server).
|
||
DSE stands for DSA-specific Entry.
|
||
|
||
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
|
||
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
|
||
document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119].
|
||
|
||
2. Cancel Operation
|
||
|
||
The Cancel operation is defined as an LDAP Extended Operation
|
||
[RFC2251, Section 4.12] identified by the object identifier
|
||
1.3.6.1.1.8. This section details the syntax of the Cancel request
|
||
and response messages and defines additional LDAP resultCodes.
|
||
|
||
2.1. Cancel Request
|
||
|
||
The Cancel request is an ExtendedRequest with the requestName field
|
||
containing 1.3.6.1.1.8 and a requestValue field which contains a
|
||
BER-encoded cancelRequestValue value.
|
||
|
||
cancelRequestValue ::= SEQUENCE {
|
||
cancelID MessageID
|
||
-- MessageID is as defined in [RFC2251]
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
The cancelID field contains the message ID associated with the
|
||
operation to be canceled.
|
||
|
||
2.2. Cancel Response
|
||
|
||
A Cancel response is an ExtendedResponse where the responseName and
|
||
response fields are absent.
|
||
|
||
2.3. Additional Result Codes
|
||
|
||
Implementations of this specification SHALL recognize the following
|
||
additional resultCode values:
|
||
|
||
canceled (118)
|
||
noSuchOperation (119)
|
||
tooLate (120)
|
||
cannotCancel (121)
|
||

|
||
|
||
|
||
3. Operational Semantics
|
||
|
||
The function of the Cancel Operation is to request that the server
|
||
cancel an outstanding operation issued within the same session.
|
||
|
||
The client requests the cancelation of an outstanding operation by
|
||
issuing a Cancel Response with a cancelID set to the message ID of
|
||
the outstanding operation. The Cancel Request itself has a distinct
|
||
message ID. Clients SHOULD NOT request the cancelation of an
|
||
operation multiple times.
|
||
|
||
If the server is willing and able to cancel the outstanding operation
|
||
identified by the cancelId, the server SHALL return a Cancel Response
|
||
with a success resultCode, and the canceled operation SHALL fail with
|
||
canceled resultCode. Otherwise the Cancel Response SHALL have a
|
||
non-success resultCode and SHALL NOT have an impact upon the
|
||
outstanding operation (if it exists).
|
||
|
||
The protocolError resultCode is returned if the server is unable to
|
||
parse the requestValue or the requestValue is absent,
|
||
|
||
The noSuchOperation resultCode is returned if the server has no
|
||
knowledge of the operation requested for cancelation.
|
||
|
||
The cannotCancel resultCode is returned if the identified operation
|
||
does not support cancelation or the cancel operation could not be
|
||
performed. The following classes of operations are not cancelable:
|
||
|
||
- operations which have no response,
|
||
|
||
- operations which create, alter, or destroy authentication and/or
|
||
authorization associations,
|
||
|
||
- operations which establish, alter, or tear-down security services,
|
||
and
|
||
|
||
- operations which abandon or cancel other operations.
|
||
|
||
Specifically, the Abandon, Bind, Start TLS [RFC2830], Unbind, and
|
||
Cancel operations are not cancelable.
|
||
|
||
The Cancel operation cannot be abandoned.
|
||
|
||
The tooLate resultCode is returned to indicate that it is too late to
|
||
cancel the outstanding operation. For example, the server may return
|
||
tooLate for a request to cancel an outstanding modify operation which
|
||
has already committed updates to the underlying data store.

|
||
RFC 3909 LDAP Cancel Operation October 2004
|
||
|
||
|
||
Servers SHOULD indicate their support for this extended operation by
|
||
providing 1.3.6.1.1.8 as a value of the 'supportedExtension'
|
||
attribute type in their root DSE. A server MAY choose to advertise
|
||
this extension only when the client is authorized to use it.
|
||
|
||
4. Security Considerations
|
||
|
||
This operation is intended to allow a user to cancel operations they
|
||
previously issued during the current LDAP association. In certain
|
||
cases, such as when the Proxy Authorization Control is in use,
|
||
different outstanding operations may be processed under different
|
||
LDAP associations. Servers MUST NOT allow a user to cancel an
|
||
operation belonging to another user.
|
||
|
||
Some operations should not be cancelable for security reasons. This
|
||
specification disallows the cancelation of the Bind operation and
|
||
Start TLS extended operation so as to avoid adding complexity to
|
||
authentication, authorization, and security layer semantics.
|
||
Designers of future extended operations and/or controls should
|
||
disallow abandonment and cancelation when appropriate.
|
||
|
||

||
