RFC 4518: Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP): Internationalized String Preparation

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

The previous Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) technical specifications did not precisely define how character string matching is to be performed. This led to a number of usability and interoperability problems. This document defines string preparation algorithms for character-based matching rules defined for use in LDAP. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
