The IESG has approved following document: - 'WebDAV Access Control Protocol ' <draft-ietf-webdav-acl-12.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the WWW Distributed Authoring and Versioning Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Ted Hardie and Ned Freed. Technical Summary This document specifies a set of methods, headers, message bodies, properties, and reports that define Access Control extensions to the WebDAV Distributed Authoring Protocol. This protocol permits a client to read and modify access control lists that instruct a server whether to allow or deny operations upon a resource (such as HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) method invocations) by a given principal. A lightweight representation of principals as Web resources supports integration of a wide range of user management repositories. Search operations allow discovery and manipulation of principals using human names. Working Group Summary This document is a product of the Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) working group of the Internet Engineering Task Force. Protocol Quality Ned Freed reviewed this document for the IESG.
