Each attribute stored in a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) 
directory has a defined syntax (i.e., data type).
A syntax definition specifies how attribute values
conforming to the syntax are
normally represented when transferred in LDAP operations.
This representation is referred to as the LDAP-specific encoding
to distinguish it from other methods of encoding attribute values.
This document defines an attribute option, the binary option,
that can be used to specify that the associated attribute values are
instead encoded according to the Basic Encoding Rules (BER)
used by X.500 directories.  [STANDARDS TRACK]

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track
protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and 
suggestions for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the 
Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization 
state and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is 
unlimited.

This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list
should be sent to IETF-REQUEST at IETF.ORG.  Requests to be
added to or deleted from the RFC-DIST distribution list should
be sent to RFC-DIST-REQUEST at RFC-EDITOR.ORG.
