The Lightweight Directory Access protocol [1] provides a means for clients to read and write information stored in a distributed directory system. This information is stored as attributes of entries. The attributes may be multi-valued. The LDAP protocol reads a multi-valued attribute as a single entity. This can be inconvenient or even impossible when the number of values in a multi-valued attribute becomes large.
