Language Tags and Ranges in the
              Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)

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.

Abstract

It is often desirable to be able to indicate the natural language
   associated with values held in a directory and to be able to query
   the directory for values which fulfill the user's language needs.
   This document details the use of Language Tags and Ranges in the
   Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).

1.  Background and Intended Use

The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) [RFC3377] provides a
   means for clients to interrogate and modify information stored in a
   distributed directory system.  The information in the directory is
   maintained as attributes of entries.  Most of these attributes have
   syntaxes which are human-readable strings, and it is desirable to be
   able to indicate the natural language associated with attribute
   values.

This document describes how language tags and ranges [RFC3066] are
   carried in LDAP and are to be interpreted by LDAP implementations.
   All LDAP implementations MUST be prepared to accept language tags and
   ranges.

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].

RFC 3866            Language Tags and Ranges in LDAP           July 2004

This document replaces RFC 2596.  Appendix A summaries changes made
   since RFC 2596.

Appendix B discusses differences from X.500(1997) "contexts"
   mechanism.

Appendix A and B are provided for informational purposes only.

The remainder of this section provides a summary of Language Tags,
   Language Ranges, and Attribute Descriptions.

1.1.  Language Tags

Section 2 of BCP 47 [RFC3066] describes the language tag format which
   is used in LDAP.  Briefly, it is a string of [ASCII] letters and
   hyphens.  Examples include "fr", "en-US" and "ja-JP".  Language tags
   are case insensitive.  That is, the language tag "en-us" is the same
   as "EN-US".

Section 2 of this document details use of language tags in LDAP.

1.2.  Language Ranges

Section 2.5 of BCP 47 [RFC3066] describes the language ranges.
   Language ranges are used to specify sets of language tags.

A language range matches a language tag if it is exactly equal to the
   tag, or if it is exactly equal to a prefix of the tag such that the
   first character following the prefix is "-".  That is, the language
   range "de" matches the language tags "de" and "de-CH" but not "den".
   The special language range "*" matches all language tags.

Due to attribute description option naming restrictions in LDAP, this
   document defines a different language range syntax.  However, the
   semantics of language ranges in LDAP are consistent with BCP 47.

Section 3 of this document details use of language ranges in LDAP.

1.3.  Attribute Descriptions

This section provides an overview of attribute descriptions in LDAP.
   LDAP attributes and attribute descriptions are defined in [RFC2251].

An attribute consists of a type, a set of zero or more associated
   tagging options, and a set of one or more values.  The type and the
   options are combined into the AttributeDescription.

Zeilenga                    Standards Track                     [Page 2]

RFC 3866            Language Tags and Ranges in LDAP           July 2004

AttributeDescriptions can also contain options which are not part of
   the attribute, but indicate some other function (such as range
   assertion or transfer encoding).

An AttributeDescription with one or more tagging options is a direct
   subtype of each AttributeDescription of the same type with all but
   one of the tagging options.  If the AttributeDescription's type is a
   direct subtype of some other type, then the AttributeDescription is
   also a direct subtype of the AttributeDescription which consists of
   the supertype and all of the tagging options.  That is,
   "CN;x-bar;x-foo" is a direct subtype of "CN;x-bar", "CN;x-foo", and
   "name;x-bar;x-foo".  Note that "CN" is a subtype of "name".

2.  Use of Language Tags in LDAP

This section describes how LDAP implementations MUST interpret
   language tags in performing operations.

Servers which support storing attributes with language tag options in
   the Directory Information Tree (DIT) SHOULD allow any attribute type
   it recognizes that has the Directory String, IA5 String, or other
   textual string syntaxes to have language tag options associated with
   it.  Servers MAY allow language options to be associated with other
   attributes types.

Clients SHOULD NOT assume servers are capable of storing attributes
   with language tags in the directory.

Implementations MUST NOT otherwise interpret the structure of the tag
   when comparing two tags, and MUST treat them simply as strings of
   characters.  Implementations MUST allow any arbitrary string which
   conforms to the syntax defined in BCP 47 [RFC3066] to be used as a
   language tag.

2.1.  Language Tag Options

A language tag option associates a natural language with values of an
   attribute.  An attribute description may contain multiple language
   tag options.  An entry may contain multiple attributes with same
   attribute type but different combinations of language tag (and other)
   options.

A language tag option conforms to the following ABNF [RFC2234]:

language-tag-option = "lang-" Language-Tag

Zeilenga                    Standards Track                     [Page 3]

RFC 3866            Language Tags and Ranges in LDAP           July 2004

where the Language-Tag production is as defined in BCP 47 [RFC3066].
   This production and those it imports from [RFC2234] are provided here
   for convenience:

Language-Tag = Primary-subtag *( "-" Subtag )

Primary-subtag = 1*8ALPHA

Subtag = 1*8(ALPHA / DIGIT)

ALPHA = %x41-5A / %x61-7A   ; A-Z / a-z

DIGIT = %x30-39             ; 0-9

A language tag option is a tagging option.  A language tag option has
   no effect on the syntax of the attribute's values nor their transfer
   encoding.

Examples of valid AttributeDescription:

givenName;lang-en-US
      CN;lang-ja
      SN;lang-de;lang-gem-PFL
      O;lang-i-klingon;x-foobar
      description;x-foobar
      CN

Notes: The last two have no language tag options.  The x-foobar
          option is fictious and used for example purposes.

2.2.  Search Filter

If language tag options are present in an AttributeDescription in an
   assertion, then for each entry within scope, the values of each
   attribute whose AttributeDescription consists of the same attribute
   type or its subtypes and contains each of the presented (and possibly
   other) options is to be matched.

Thus, for example, a filter of an equality match of type
   "name;lang-en-US" and assertion value "Billy Ray", against the
   following directory entry:

Zeilenga                    Standards Track                     [Page 4]

RFC 3866            Language Tags and Ranges in LDAP           July 2004

CN;lang-en-US;x-foobar: Billy Ray   MATCHES
   CN;lang-en;x-foobar: Billy Ray      DOES NOT MATCH (differing lang-)
   CN;x-foobar: Billy Ray              DOES NOT MATCH (no lang-)
   name: Billy Ray                     DOES NOT MATCH (no lang-)
   SN;lang-en-GB;lang-en-US: Billy Ray MATCHES
   SN: Ray                             DOES NOT MATCH (no lang-,
                                           wrong value)

Note that "CN" and "SN" are subtypes of "name".

It is noted that providing a language tag option in a search filter
   AttributeDescription will filter out desirable values where the tag
   does not match exactly.  For example, the filter (name;lang-en=Billy
   Ray) does NOT match the attribute "name;lang-en-US:  Billy Ray".

If the server does not support storing attributes with language tag
   options in the DIT, then any assertion which includes a language tag
   option will not match as such it is an unrecognized attribute type.
   No error would be returned because of this; a presence assertion
   would evaluate to FALSE and all other assertions to Undefined.

If no options are specified in the assertion, then only the base
   attribute type and the assertion value need match the value in the
   directory.

Thus, for example, a filter of an equality match of type "name" and
   assertion value "Billy Ray", against the following directory entry:

dn: SN=Ray,DC=example,DC=com
      objectClass: person                 DOES NOT MATCH (wrong type)
      objectClass: extensibleObject       DOES NOT MATCH (wrong type)
      name;lang-en-US: Billy Ray          MATCHES
      name;lang-en-US: Billy Bob          DOES NOT MATCH (wrong value)
      CN;lang-en-US;x-foobar: Billy Ray   MATCHES
      CN;lang-en;x-foobar: Billy Ray      MATCHES
      CN;x-foobar: Billy Ray              MATCHES
      name: Billy Ray                     MATCHES
      SN;lang-en-GB;lang-en-US: Billy Ray MATCHES
      SN: Ray                             DOES NOT MATCH (wrong value)

2.3.  Requested Attributes in Search

Clients can provide language tag options in each AttributeDescription
   in the requested attribute list in a search request.

If language tag options are provided in an attribute description,
   then only attributes in a directory entry whose attribute
   descriptions have the same attribute type or its subtype and contains

Zeilenga                    Standards Track                     [Page 5]

RFC 3866            Language Tags and Ranges in LDAP           July 2004

each of the presented (and possibly other) language tag options are
   to be returned.  Thus if a client requests just the attribute
   "name;lang-en", the server would return "name;lang-en" and
   "CN;lang-en;lang-ja" but not "SN" nor "name;lang-fr".

Clients can provide in the attribute list multiple
   AttributeDescriptions which have the same base attribute type but
   different options.  For example, a client could provide both
   "name;lang-en" and "name;lang-fr", and this would permit an attribute
   with either language tag option to be returned.  Note there would be
   no need to provide both "name" and "name;lang-en" since all subtypes
   of name would match "name".

If a server does not support storing attributes with language tag
   options in the DIT, then any attribute descriptions in the list which
   include language tag options are to be ignored, just as if they were
   unknown attribute types.

If a request is made specifying all attributes or an attribute is
   requested without providing a language tag option, then all attribute
   values regardless of their language tag option are returned.

For example, if the client requests a "description" attribute, and a
   matching entry contains the following attributes:

objectClass: top
      objectClass: organization
      O: Software GmbH
      description: software products
      description;lang-en: software products
      description;lang-de: Softwareprodukte

The server would return:

description: software products
      description;lang-en: software products
      description;lang-de: Softwareprodukte

2.4.  Compare

Language tag options can be present in an AttributeDescription used
   in a compare request AttributeValueAssertion.  This is to be treated
   by servers the same as the use of language tag options in a search
   filter with an equality match, as described in Section 2.2.  If there
   is no attribute in the entry with the same attribute type or its
   subtype and contains each of the presented (or possibly other)
   language tag options, the noSuchAttributeType error will be returned.

Zeilenga                    Standards Track                     [Page 6]

RFC 3866            Language Tags and Ranges in LDAP           July 2004

Thus, for example, a compare request of type "name" and assertion
   value "Johann", against an entry containing the following attributes:

objectClass: top
      objectClass: person
      givenName;lang-de-DE: Johann
      CN: Johann Sibelius
      SN: Sibelius

would cause the server to return compareTrue.

However, if the client issued a compare request of type
   "name;lang-de" and assertion value "Johann" against the above entry,
   the request would fail with the noSuchAttributeType error.

If the server does not support storing attributes with language tag
   options in the DIT, then any comparison which includes a language tag
   option will always fail to locate an attribute, and
   noSuchAttributeType will be returned.

2.5.  Add Operation

Clients can provide language options in AttributeDescription in
   attributes of a new entry to be created.

A client can provide multiple attributes with the same attribute type
   and value, so long as each attribute has a different set of language
   tag options.

For example, the following is a valid request:

dn: CN=John Smith,DC=example,DC=com
      objectClass: residentialPerson
      CN: John Smith
      CN;lang-en: John Smith
      SN: Smith
      SN;lang-en: Smith
      streetAddress: 1 University Street
      streetAddress;lang-en-US: 1 University Street
      streetAddress;lang-fr: 1 rue Universite
      houseIdentifier;lang-fr: 9e etage

If a server does not support storing language tag options with
   attribute values in the DIT, then it MUST treat an
   AttributeDescription with a language tag option as an unrecognized
   attribute.  If the server forbids the addition of unrecognized
   attributes then it MUST fail the add request with an appropriate
   result code.

Zeilenga                    Standards Track                     [Page 7]

RFC 3866            Language Tags and Ranges in LDAP           July 2004

2.6.  Modify Operation

A client can provide language tag options in an AttributeDescription
   as part of a modification element in the modify operation.

Attribute types and language tag options MUST match exactly against
   values stored in the directory.  For example, if the modification is
   a "delete", then if the stored values to be deleted have language tag
   options, then those language tag options MUST be provided in the
   modify operation, and if the stored values to be deleted do not have
   any language tag option, then no language tag option is to be
   provided.

If the server does not support storing language tag options with
   attribute values in the DIT, then it MUST treat an
   AttributeDescription with a language tag option as an unrecognized
   attribute, and MUST fail the request with an appropriate result code.

3.  Use of Language Ranges in LDAP

Since the publication of RFC 2596, it has become apparent that there
   is a need to provide a mechanism for a client to request attributes
   based upon set of language tag options whose tags all begin with the
   same sequence of language sub-tags.

AttributeDescriptions containing language range options are intended
   to be used in attribute value assertions, search attribute lists, and
   other places where the client desires to provide an attribute
   description matching of a range of language tags associated with
   attributes.

A language range option conforms to the following ABNF [RFC2234]:

language-range-option = "lang-" [ Language-Tag "-" ]

where the Language-Tag production is as defined in BCP 47 [RFC3066].
   This production and those it imports from [RFC2234] are provided in
   Section 2.1 for convenience.

A language range option matches a language tag option if the language
   range option less the trailing "-" matches exactly the language tag
   or if the language range option (including the trailing "-") matches
   a prefix of the language tag option.  Note that the language range
   option "lang-" matches all language tag options.

Zeilenga                    Standards Track                     [Page 8]

RFC 3866            Language Tags and Ranges in LDAP           July 2004

Examples of valid AttributeDescription containing language range
   options:

givenName;lang-en-
      CN;lang-
      SN;lang-de-;lang-gem-
      O;lang-x-;x-foobar

A language range option is not a tagging option.  Attributes cannot
   be stored with language range options.  Any attempt to add or update
   an attribute description with a language range option SHALL be
   treated as an undefined attribute type and result in an error.

A language range option has no effect on the transfer encoding nor on
   the syntax of the attribute values.

Servers SHOULD support assertion of language ranges for any attribute
   type which they allow to be stored with language tags.

3.1.  Search Filter

If a language range option is present in an AttributeDescription in
   an assertion, then for each entry within scope, the values of each
   attribute whose AttributeDescription consists of the same attribute
   type or its subtypes and contains a language tag option matching the
   language range option are to be returned.

Thus, for example, a filter of an equality match of type
   "name;lang-en-" and assertion value "Billy Ray", against the
   following directory entry:

dn: SN=Ray,DC=example,DC=com
      objectClass: person                 DOES NOT MATCH (wrong type)
      objectClass: extensibleObject       DOES NOT MATCH (wrong type)
      name;lang-en-US: Billy Ray          MATCHES
      name;lang-en-US: Billy Bob          DOES NOT MATCH (wrong value)
      CN;lang-en-US: Billy Ray            MATCHES
      CN;lang-en-US;x-foobar: Billy Ray   MATCHES
      CN;lang-en;x-foobar: Billy Ray      MATCHES
      CN;x-foobar: Billy Ray              DOES NOT MATCH (no lang-)
      name: Billy Ray                     DOES NOT MATCH (no lang-)
      SN;lang-en-GB;lang-en-US: Billy Ray MATCHES
      SN: Ray                             DOES NOT MATCH (no lang-,
                                            wrong value)

Note that "CN" and "SN" are subtypes of "name".

Zeilenga                    Standards Track                     [Page 9]

RFC 3866            Language Tags and Ranges in LDAP           July 2004

If the server does not support storing attributes with language tag
   options in the DIT, then any assertion which includes a language
   range option will not match as it is an unrecognized attribute type.
   No error would be returned because of this; a presence filter would
   evaluate to FALSE and all other assertions to Undefined.

3.2.  Requested Attributes in Search

Clients can provide language range options in each
   AttributeDescription in the requested attribute list in a search
   request.

If a language range option is provided in an attribute description,
   then only attributes in a directory entry whose attribute
   descriptions have the same attribute type or its subtype and a
   language tag option matching the provided language range option are
   to be returned.  Thus if a client requests just the attribute
   "name;lang-en-", the server would return "name;lang-en-US" and
   "CN;lang-en;lang-ja" but not "SN" nor "name;lang-fr".

Clients can provide in the attribute list multiple
   AttributeDescriptions which have the same base attribute type but
   different options.  For example a client could provide both
   "name;lang-en-" and "name;lang-fr-", and this would permit an
   attribute whose type was name or subtype of name and with a language
   tag option matching either language range option to be returned.

If a server does not support storing attributes with language tag
   options in the DIT, then any attribute descriptions in the list which
   include language range options are to be ignored, just as if they
   were unknown attribute types.

3.3.  Compare

Language range options can be present in an AttributeDescription used
   in a compare request AttributeValueAssertion.  This is to be treated
   by servers the same as the use of language range options in a search
   filter with an equality match, as described in Section 3.1.  If there
   is no attribute in the entry with the same subtype and a matching
   language tag option, the noSuchAttributeType error will be returned.

Thus, for example, a compare request of type "name;lang-" and
   assertion value "Johann", against the entry with the following
   attributes:

Zeilenga                    Standards Track                    [Page 10]

RFC 3866            Language Tags and Ranges in LDAP           July 2004

objectClass: top
      objectClass: person
      givenName;lang-de-DE: Johann
      CN: Johann Sibelius
      SN: Sibelius

will cause the server to return compareTrue.  (Note that the language
   range option "lang-" matches any language tag option.)

However, if the client issued a compare request of type
   "name;lang-de" and assertion value "Sibelius" against the above
   entry, the request would fail with the noSuchAttributeType error.

If the server does not support storing attributes with language tag
   options in the DIT, then any comparison which includes a language
   range option will always fail to locate an attribute, and
   noSuchAttributeType will be returned.

4.  Discovering Language Option Support

A server SHOULD indicate that it supports storing attributes with
   language tag options in the DIT by publishing 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.1.5.4
   as a value of the root DSE.

A server SHOULD indicate that it supports language range matching of
   attributes with language tag options stored in the DIT by publishing
   1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.1.5.5 as a value of the "supportedFeatures"
   [RFC3674] attribute in the root DSE.

A server MAY restrict use of language tag options to a subset of the
   attribute types it recognizes.  This document does not define a
   mechanism for determining which subset of attribute types can be used
   with language tag options.

5.  Interoperability with Non-supporting Implementations

Implementators of this specification should take care that their use
   of language tag options does not impede proper function of
   implementations which do not support language tags.

Per RFC 2251, "an AttributeDescription with one or more options is
   treated as a subtype of the attribute type without any options."  A
   non-supporting server will treat an AttributeDescription with any
   language tag options as an unrecognized attribute type.  A non-
   supporting client will either do the same, or will treat the
   AttributeDescription as it would any other unknown subtype.
   Typically, non-supporting clients simply ignore unrecognized subtypes
   (and unrecognized attribute types) of attributes they request.

Zeilenga                    Standards Track                    [Page 11]

RFC 3866            Language Tags and Ranges in LDAP           July 2004

To ensure proper function of non-supporting clients, supporting
   clients SHOULD ensure that entries they populate with tagged values
   are also populated with non-tagged values.

Additionally, supporting clients SHOULD be prepared to handle entries
   which are not populated with tagged values.

6.  Security Considerations

Language tags and range options are used solely to indicate the
   native language of values and in querying the directory for values
   which fulfill the user's language needed.  These options are not
   known to raise specific security considerations.  However, the reader
   should consider general directory security issues detailed in the
   LDAP technical specification [RFC3377].

7.  IANA Considerations

Registration of these protocol mechanisms [RFC3383] has been
   completed by the IANA.

RFC 3866            Language Tags and Ranges in LDAP           July 2004

Appendix A. Differences from RFC 2596

This document adds support for language ranges, provides a mechanism
   that a client can use to discover whether a server supports language
   tags and ranges, and clarifies how attributes with multiple language
   tags are to be treated.  This document is a significant rewrite of
   RFC 2596.

Appendix B. Differences from X.500(1997)

X.500(1997) [X.501] defines a different mechanism, contexts, as the
   means of representing language tags (codes).  This section summarizes
   the major differences in approach.

a) An X.500 operation which has specified a language code on a value
      matches a value in the directory without a language code.

b) LDAP references BCP 47 [RFC3066], which allows for IANA
      registration of new tags as well as unregistered tags.

c) LDAP supports language ranges (new in this revision).

d) LDAP does not allow language tags (and ranges) in distinguished
      names.

e) X.500 describes subschema administration procedures to allow
      language codes to be associated with particular attributes types.
