Network Working Group G. Good Request for Comments: 2849 iPlanet e-commerce Solutions Category: Standards Track June 2000 The LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) - Technical Specification Status of this Memo 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. Copyright Notice Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2000). All Rights Reserved. Abstract This document describes a file format suitable for describing directory information or modifications made to directory information. The file format, known as LDIF, for LDAP Data Interchange Format, is typically used to import and export directory information between LDAP-based directory servers, or to describe a set of changes which are to be applied to a directory. Background and Intended Usage There are a number of situations where a common interchange format is desirable. For example, one might wish to export a copy of the contents of a directory server to a file, move that file to a different machine, and import the contents into a second directory server. Additionally, by using a well-defined interchange format, development of data import tools from legacy systems is facilitated. A fairly simple set of tools written in awk or perl can, for example, convert a database of personnel information into an LDIF file. This file can then be imported into a directory server, regardless of the internal database representation the target directory server uses. The LDIF format was originally developed and used in the University of Michigan LDAP implementation. The first use of LDIF was in describing directory entries. Later, the format was expanded to allow representation of changes to directory entries. Good Standards Track [Page 1] RFC 2849 LDAP Data Interchange Format June 2000 Relationship to the application/directory MIME content-type: The application/directory MIME content-type [1] is a general framework and format for conveying directory information, and is independent of any particular directory service. The LDIF format is a simpler format which is perhaps easier to create, and may also be used, as noted, to describe a set of changes to be applied to a directory. The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "MAY", "SHOULD", and "SHOULD NOT" used in this document are to be interpreted as described in [7]. Definition of the LDAP Data Interchange Format The LDIF format is used to convey directory information, or a description of a set of changes made to directory entries. An LDIF file consists of a series of records separated by line separators. A record consists of a sequence of lines describing a directory entry, or a sequence of lines describing a set of changes to a directory entry. An LDIF file specifies a set of directory entries, or a set of changes to be applied to directory entries, but not both. There is a one-to-one correlation between LDAP operations that modify the directory (add, delete, modify, and modrdn), and the types of changerecords described below ("add", "delete", "modify", and "modrdn" or "moddn"). This correspondence is intentional, and permits a straightforward translation from LDIF changerecords to protocol operations. Formal Syntax Definition of LDIF The following definition uses the augmented Backus-Naur Form specified in RFC 2234 [2]. ldif-file = ldif-content / ldif-changes ldif-content = version-spec 1*(1*SEP ldif-attrval-record) ldif-changes = version-spec 1*(1*SEP ldif-change-record) ldif-attrval-record = dn-spec SEP 1*attrval-spec ldif-change-record = dn-spec SEP *control changerecord version-spec = "version:" FILL version-number Good Standards Track [Page 2] RFC 2849 LDAP Data Interchange Format June 2000 version-number = 1*DIGIT ; version-number MUST be "1" for the ; LDIF format described in this document. dn-spec = "dn:" (FILL distinguishedName / ":" FILL base64-distinguishedName) distinguishedName = SAFE-STRING ; a distinguished name, as defined in [3] base64-distinguishedName = BASE64-UTF8-STRING ; a distinguishedName which has been base64 ; encoded (see note 10, below) rdn = SAFE-STRING ; a relative distinguished name, defined as ; <name-component> in [3] base64-rdn = BASE64-UTF8-STRING ; an rdn which has been base64 encoded (see ; note 10, below) control = "control:" FILL ldap-oid ; controlType 0*1(1*SPACE ("true" / "false")) ; criticality 0*1(value-spec) ; controlValue SEP ; (See note 9, below) ldap-oid = 1*DIGIT 0*1("." 1*DIGIT) ; An LDAPOID, as defined in [4] attrval-spec = AttributeDescription value-spec SEP value-spec = ":" ( FILL 0*1(SAFE-STRING) / ":" FILL (BASE64-STRING) / "<" FILL url) ; See notes 7 and 8, below url = <a Uniform Resource Locator, as defined in [6]> ; (See Note 6, below) AttributeDescription = AttributeType [";" options] ; Definition taken from [4] AttributeType = ldap-oid / (ALPHA *(attr-type-chars)) options = option / (option ";" options) Good Standards Track [Page 3] RFC 2849 LDAP Data Interchange Format June 2000 option = 1*opt-char attr-type-chars = ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" opt-char = attr-type-chars changerecord = "changetype:" FILL (change-add / change-delete / change-modify / change-moddn) change-add = "add" SEP 1*attrval-spec change-delete = "delete" SEP change-moddn = ("modrdn" / "moddn") SEP "newrdn:" ( FILL rdn / ":" FILL base64-rdn) SEP "deleteoldrdn:" FILL ("0" / "1") SEP 0*1("newsuperior:" ( FILL distinguishedName / ":" FILL base64-distinguishedName) SEP) change-modify = "modify" SEP *mod-spec mod-spec = ("add:" / "delete:" / "replace:") FILL AttributeDescription SEP *attrval-spec "-" SEP SPACE = %x20 ; ASCII SP, space FILL = *SPACE SEP = (CR LF / LF) CR = %x0D ; ASCII CR, carriage return LF = %x0A ; ASCII LF, line feed ALPHA = %x41-5A / %x61-7A ; A-Z / a-z DIGIT = %x30-39 ; 0-9 Good Standards Track [Page 4] RFC 2849 LDAP Data Interchange Format June 2000 UTF8-1 = %x80-BF UTF8-2 = %xC0-DF UTF8-1 UTF8-3 = %xE0-EF 2UTF8-1 UTF8-4 = %xF0-F7 3UTF8-1 UTF8-5 = %xF8-FB 4UTF8-1 UTF8-6 = %xFC-FD 5UTF8-1 SAFE-CHAR = %x01-09 / %x0B-0C / %x0E-7F ; any value <= 127 decimal except NUL, LF, ; and CR SAFE-INIT-CHAR = %x01-09 / %x0B-0C / %x0E-1F / %x21-39 / %x3B / %x3D-7F ; any value <= 127 except NUL, LF, CR, ; SPACE, colon (":", ASCII 58 decimal) ; and less-than ("<" , ASCII 60 decimal) SAFE-STRING = [SAFE-INIT-CHAR *SAFE-CHAR] UTF8-CHAR = SAFE-CHAR / UTF8-2 / UTF8-3 / UTF8-4 / UTF8-5 / UTF8-6 UTF8-STRING = *UTF8-CHAR BASE64-UTF8-STRING = BASE64-STRING ; MUST be the base64 encoding of a ; UTF8-STRING BASE64-CHAR = %x2B / %x2F / %x30-39 / %x3D / %x41-5A / %x61-7A ; +, /, 0-9, =, A-Z, and a-z ; as specified in [5] BASE64-STRING = [*(BASE64-CHAR)] Notes on LDIF Syntax 1) For the LDIF format described in this document, the version number MUST be "1". If the version number is absent, implementations MAY choose to interpret the contents as an older LDIF file format, supported by the University of Michigan ldap-3.3 implementation [8]. Good Standards Track [Page 5] RFC 2849 LDAP Data Interchange Format June 2000 2) Any non-empty line, including comment lines, in an LDIF file MAY be folded by inserting a line separator (SEP) and a SPACE. Folding MUST NOT occur before the first character of the line. In other words, folding a line into two lines, the first of which is empty, is not permitted. Any line that begins with a single space MUST be treated as a continuation of the previous (non-empty) line. When joining folded lines, exactly one space character at the beginning of each continued line must be discarded. Implementations SHOULD NOT fold lines in the middle of a multi-byte UTF-8 character. 3) Any line that begins with a pound-sign ("#", ASCII 35) is a comment line, and MUST be ignored when parsing an LDIF file. 4) Any dn or rdn that contains characters other than those defined as "SAFE-UTF8-CHAR", or begins with a character other than those defined as "SAFE-INIT-UTF8-CHAR", above, MUST be base-64 encoded. Other values MAY be base-64 encoded. Any value that contains characters other than those defined as "SAFE-CHAR", or begins with a character other than those defined as "SAFE-INIT-CHAR", above, MUST be base-64 encoded. Other values MAY be base-64 encoded. 5) When a zero-length attribute value is to be included directly in an LDIF file, it MUST be represented as AttributeDescription ":" FILL SEP. For example, "seeAlso:" followed by a newline represents a zero-length "seeAlso" attribute value. It is also permissible for the value referred to by a URL to be of zero length. 6) When a URL is specified in an attrval-spec, the following conventions apply: a) Implementations SHOULD support the file:// URL format. The contents of the referenced file are to be included verbatim in the interpreted output of the LDIF file. b) Implementations MAY support other URL formats. The semantics associated with each supported URL will be documented in an associated Applicability Statement. 7) Distinguished names, relative distinguished names, and attribute values of DirectoryString syntax MUST be valid UTF-8 strings. Implementations that read LDIF MAY interpret files in which these entities are stored in some other character set encoding, but implementations MUST NOT generate LDIF content which does not contain valid UTF-8 data. Good Standards Track [Page 6] RFC 2849 LDAP Data Interchange Format June 2000 8) Values or distinguished names that end with SPACE SHOULD be base-64 encoded. 9) When controls are included in an LDIF file, implementations MAY choose to ignore some or all of them. This may be necessary if the changes described in the LDIF file are being sent on an LDAPv2 connection (LDAPv2 does not support controls), or the particular controls are not supported by the remote server. If the criticality of a control is "true", then the implementation MUST either include the control, or MUST NOT send the operation to a remote server. 10) When an attrval-spec, distinguishedName, or rdn is base64- encoded, the encoding rules specified in [5] are used with the following exceptions: a) The requirement that base64 output streams must be represented as lines of no more than 76 characters is removed. Lines in LDIF files may only be folded according to the folding rules described in note 2, above. b) Base64 strings in [5] may contain characters other than those defined in BASE64-CHAR, and are ignored. LDIF does not permit any extraneous characters, other than those used for line folding.

Appropriate measures should be taken to protect the privacy of those persons whose data is contained in an LDIF file. Since ":<" directives can cause external content to be included when processing an LDIF file, one should be cautious of accepting LDIF files from external sources. A "trojan" LDIF file could name a file with sensitive contents and cause it to be included in a directory entry, which a hostile entity could read via LDAP. LDIF does not provide any method for carrying authentication information with an LDIF file. Users of LDIF files must take care to verify the integrity of an LDIF file received from an external source. Acknowledgments The LDAP Interchange Format was developed as part of the University of Michigan LDAP reference implementation, and was developed by Tim Howes, Mark Smith, and Gordon Good. It is based in part upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. NCR- 9416667. Members of the IETF LDAP Extensions Working group provided many helpful suggestions. In particular, Hallvard B. Furuseth of the University of Oslo made many significant contributions to this document, including a thorough review and rewrite of the BNF. References [1] Howes, T. and M.
