Status of this Memo
This document is an Internet Draft. Internet Drafts are working
documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), its Areas,
and its Working Groups. Note that other groups may also distribute
working documents as Internet Drafts.
Internet Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six
months. Internet Drafts may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by
other documents at any time. It is not appropriate to use Internet
Drafts as reference material or to cite them other than as a "working
draft" or "work in progress."

Abstract
This document is a draft of a revision to RFC 1632: A Revised Catalog
of Available X.500 Implementations and is based on the results of
data collection via a WWW home page that enabled implementors to
submit new or updated descriptions of currently available
implementations of X.500, including commercial products and openly
available offerings. RFC 1632 is a revision of RFC 1292. We
contacted each contributor to RFC 1632 to request an update and
published the URL of the WWW home page survey template in several
mailing lists to encourage the submission of new product
descriptions.
This document contains detailed description of TBD X.500
implementations - DSAs, DUAs, and DUA interfaces.

INTERNET-DRAFT X.500 Implementations Catalog-96 23 June 1996
1. Introduction
This document catalogs currently available implementations of X.500,
including commercial products and openly available offerings. For
the purposes of this survey, we classify X.500 products as,
DSA
A DSA is an OSI application process that provides the Directory
functionality,
DUA
A DUA is an OSI application process that represents a user in
accessing the Directory and uses the DAP to communicate with a
DSA, and
DUA Interface
A DUA Interface is an application process that represents a
user in accessing the Directory using either DAP but supporting
only a subset of the DAP functionality or a protocol different
from DAP to communicate with a DSA or DUA.
Section 2 of this document contains a listing of implementations
cross referenced by keyword. This list should aid in identifying
implementations that meet your criteria.
To compile this catalog, the IDS Working Group solicited input from
the X.500 community by publishing a URL for a set of on-line
description forms deployed on the WWW as a home page on an InterNIC
server. This URL
(http://www.internic.net/projects/x500catalog/catalogtop.html) was
advertised on the following directory-related mailing lists:
iso@nic.ddn.mil, isode@nic.ddn.mil, osi-ds@cs.ucl.ac.uk,
ids@merit.edu, ietf-asid@umich.edu, mhs-ds@mercury.udev.cdc.com,
nadf-l@ema.org, and dssig@nist.gov.
Readers are encouraged to submit comments regarding both the forms
and content of this memo. New submissions are welcome. Please
direct input to the Integrated Directory Services (IDS) Working
Group (ietf-ids@umich.edu) or to the authors. IDS will produce
new versions of this document when a significant number of
substantive comments have been received or when significant updates
and/or modifications to X.500-related standards documents have been
Apple, Rossen [Page 3]
INTERNET-DRAFT X.500 Implementations Catalog-96 23 June 1996
ratified. This will be determined by the IDS chairpersons.
1.1 Purpose
The Internet has experienced a steady growth in X.500 piloting
activities. This document hopes to provide an easily accessible
source of information on X.500 implementations for those who wish to
consider X.500 technology for deploying a Directory service.
1.2 Scope
This document contains descriptions of both free and commercial X.500
implementations. It does not provide instructions on how to install,
run, or manage these implementations. The descriptions and indices
are provided to make the readers aware of available options and thus
enable more informed choices.
1.3 Disclaimer
Implementation descriptions were written by implementors and vendors,
and not by the editors. We worked with the description authors to
ensure uniformity and readability, but cannot guarantee the accuracy
or completeness of the descriptions, nor the stability of the
implementations.
1.4 Overview
Section 1 contains introductory information.
Section 2 contains a list of keywords, their definitions, a cross
reference of the X.500 implementations by these keywords and a table
containing implementor name, implementor abreviation, and the page of
this document on which the description begins for a particular
implementor.
Section 3 contains the X.500 implementation descriptions.
Section 4 has a list of references.
Section 6 lists the editors' addresses.
1.5 Acknowledgments
The creation of this catalog would not have been possible without the
efforts of the description authors and the members of the IDS Working
Group. Our special thanks to the editors of RFC 1632, Linda
Apple, Rossen [Page 4]
INTERNET-DRAFT X.500 Implementations Catalog-96 23 June 1996
Millington and Sri Sataluri who graciously contributed the nroff
source file used to structure their version of the catalog.
2. Keywords
Keywords are abbreviated attributes of the X.500 implementations.
The list of keywords defined below was derived from the
implementation descriptions themselves. Implementations were indexed
by a keyword either as a result of: (1) explicit, not implied,
reference to a particular capability in the implementation
description text, or (2) input from the implementation description
author(s).
2.1 Keyword Definitions
This section contains keyword definitions. They have been organized
and grouped by functional category. The definitions are ordered
first alphabetically by keyword category, and second alphabetically
by implementation name within keyword category.
2.1.1 Availability

ABSTRACT
The CXDUA is a Windows 3.1 DUA that has been derrived from a highly
portable and flexible Unix based Administrative Directory User Agent.
The goal of the original design was to support features to assist a
directory administrator in managing the directory. These features
include a highly portable GUI, Entry Templates, Entry Lists, Batch
Operations and Directory Control Functions.
Both the Windows and the Unix versions support strong authentication.
The Unix DUA has been used in various DMS and NSA pilot projects.

INTERNET-DRAFT DC X500 23 June 1996
NAME
DC X500
Data Connection Ltd
100 Church Street
Enfield
Middlesex
EN2 6BQ
UK
ABSTRACT
DC X500 provides a truly scalable X.500 based enterprise directory
server with the necessary architectural flexibility to enable
integration with existing database and directory technologies.
From a pure X.500 standpoint, DC X500 provides a full function
state-of-the-art DSA implementation.
* Architected from scratch according to the 1993 X.500
standards (i.e. not a 1988 DSA with 1993 features grafted on)
* Support for all the key X.500 OSI protocols:
* Directory Access Protocol (DAP) for user access
* Directory System Protocol (DSP) for distributed DSA
comunications
* Directory Information Shadowing Protocol (DISP) to support
replication between servers to give improved performance
in a distributed network
* Support of the 1993 Basic Access Control and Simplified
Access Control models
* Support for the key Internet X.500 related standards:
* integrated Lightweight DAP (LDAP)for DUA access
* Madman MIBs for easy integration with SNMP
The DC X500 architecture is based on Data Connection's underlying
product architecture which has evolved since 1987 and includes:
Apple, Rossen [Page 54]
INTERNET-DRAFT DC X500 23 June 1996
* genuine multi-threaded implementation
* true portability (the product is available on a range of
operating systems e.g Windows NT, AIX, HP-UX. OS/2 etc and it
is possible to port the core technology to any
hardware/software platform)
* secure service recording for operation tracking and billing
* support for system monitoring (both alarms and statistics)
Key product features include:
* Name resolution and integrated use of Search Indices based on
2-3 trees leads to high performance operation evaluation
(subsecond response times on million entry DSAs)
* Generic schema support based on 1993 concepts that allows
customers to tailor the schema to meet their precise data
structuing requirements
* System recycle time is minimised (e.g. DC X500 can be backed
up while running and search indices are dynamically updated),
helping achieve the goal of continuous (24x7) availability
and high reliability.
* No artificial software constraints are imposed resulting in a
truly scalable product - assuming the availability of the
necessary hardware DC X500 can be configured to support
millions of entries in a single DSA.
DC X500 is certified for used within the Paradise Pilot project. The
product has also undergone interoperability testing at the EuroSInet
interoperability workshops in Europe.

INTERNET-DRAFT Directory Enquiries 23 June 1996
NAME
DE
ABSTRACT
DE (Directory Enquiries) is intended to be a simple-to-use DUA
interface, suitable for the naive user, and suitable for running as a
public access dua. it will work on any terminal. The user is presented
with a series of (verbose) prompts asking for person's name department
organization country. There is extensive on-line help. The matching
algorithms are such that near matches are presented to the user before
less good matches.
There have been a few minor enhancements since the description in RFC
1632. The power searching feature still sets DE apart from most other
DUAs - this allows a user to search for an entry even when they do not
know the name of the organisation in which the person works - you still
have to specify the country. DE also allows UFN style searching. DE
uses slightly different search algorithms depending on whether it is
accessing part of the Directory mastered by a Quipu DSA - Quipu DSAs
tend to use lots of replication and so encourage searching. DE
incorporates a QOS feature where it maintains a database of past
information availability and DSA responsiveness. Translations exist
into at least 4 different languages.
DE runs over ISODE DAP and University of Michigan LDAP. There is a
version of DE, called DOS-DE, which has been ported to DOS, and this
uses LDAP.
DE was funded by the COSINE PARADISE project, and DE is used as the
PARADISE public access dua. You can test the software by telnet to
directory.ja.net and logging in as dua -- no password required.

DE tries to cater well for the general case, at the expense of not
dealing with the less typical. The main manifestation of this is that
the current version does not handle searching under localities very

INTERNET-DRAFT DIR.X-SYNC(tm) V2.0 23 June 1996
NAME
DIR.X-SYNC (tm) V2.0 Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG
ABSTRACT
DIR.X-SYNC V2.0 enables the synchronization of existing e-mail address
directories in the X.500-based DIR.X directory service. The standard
DIR.X, DIR.X-SYNC and DIR.D (all available from Siemens Nixdorf)
products are the foundations on which the corporate directory solutions
can be tailored to meet the customer's needs. The corporate directory
then becomes the universal information system within the company.
The user can access corporate directory information in different ways:
* Using DIR.D, SNI's Windows client for the X.500 service, PC
users can gain easy access to the DIR.X server containing the
corporate directory data. The data found can be transferred to
other applications by means of DDE, drag and drop or cut and
paste. (See DIR.D V2.6 for further information).
* Query by mail: Authorized users can access data stored in the
central or distributed directory system over their own mail
system. DIR.X-SYNC retrieves the inquiry transmitted by mail and
directs it on to the X.500 service. The search results are then
delivered back to the user by mail. Using a WWW interface based
on TCL scripts
Query by mail does not require additional software on the end system.
Each mail system connected to the X.400 backbone (e.g. MS-Mail, cc:Mail
etc.) can use this function. DIR.X-SYNC currently supports the address
formats of the following e-mail systems:
* MAIL.X-OD V2.3
* MAIL.2000 V1.2, AKOM
* MS-Mail
* cc:Mail
* Intelligent Messaging Mail (Banyan)
The standardized ISO-10021 interface for X.400 addresses is supported,
Apple, Rossen [Page 87]
INTERNET-DRAFT DIR.X-SYNC(tm) V2.0 23 June 1996
enabling need for extension. This means that any type of system capable
of generating this format (e.g. WordPerfect, Lotus Notes) can be
connected. Address acknowledgment is carried out in ISO format.
Functions for the administrator:
* Export: Addresses can be exported from local directories. They
are delivered as mail messages in ASCII format to the DIR.X-SYNC
server.
* Upload: The upload server stores the exported local addresses in
DIR.X as globally valid X.400 addresses.
* Query by Mail: DIR.X-SYNC enables mail members to send a search
to the DIR.X-SYNC server by e-mail. Using this function,
authorized administrators of the synchronized directories can
acquire copies of the corporate directory data.
* Administration of the DIR.X-SYNC server with an administration
tool which can be used via command line or a command file.
Other features include:
* Replication and distribution: In addition to the central
solution with a single corporate directory server, DIR.X-SYNC
also supports replicated or distributed data storage in DIR.X-
SYNC server.
* Authentication/Authorization: To prevent unauthorized use of the
corporate directory system, the O/R addresses of the authorized
administrators and users are configured by the DIR.X-SYNC
administrator. When a query by mail or an update arrives, the
sender address is compared with this address.
* Logging: In the case of error, e.g. incorrect file format, the
sender (and the administrator configurable) are informed of the
fault by mail. At the same time, the error message is saved in a
log file for the DIR.X-SYNC administrator. In addition, a
"history file" enables the monitoring of the uploads that have
run or are currently running

INTERNET-DRAFT FORUM LOOK'UP(tm) 23 June 1996
NAME
Forum LOOK'UP (tm)
Telis Systemes & Communications
ABSTRACT
Forum LOOK'UP (tm) is a Corporate directory solution based on the X.500
recommendations. It includes:
* a Directory System Agent (DSA),
* Directory User Agents (DUAs).
* local network connections
* remote workstation access
* a WEB and videotex access
* data updating tools
* a directory editing tool
Forum LOOK'UP is a product based on PIZARRO, the research prototype
developed at INRIA by Christian Huitema's team, and commercialized by
Telis, a member of the France Telecom group.
Characteristics of the DSA are:
* The DAP and DSP protocols are provided conformant with X.500
(88).
* The DIB is maintained in ASN.1 encoded format in the Unix file
system.
* Utilities are provided to load and dump the DIB from and to
ASCII text files.
* As an option, an ORACLE V7 database can also be used.
* The DIT structure is held in main memory. Frequently used
attributes may be held in inverted tables in memory to speed up
searches.
Apple, Rossen [Page 93]
INTERNET-DRAFT FORUM LOOK'UP(tm) 23 June 1996
* Knowledge management: knowledge on managed domains is stored in
Forum LOOK'UP specific attributes of the DSA entries.
* Schema: The X.500 (88), X.400 (88) and most of the Cosine and
Internet Schema are supported. Object class and attribute
definitions are enforced. Users may define their own.
* Simple authentication is provided strong authentication and
signed operations have been tested operationally through Telis's
participation in PASSWORD, a VALUE project with aim to pilot a
European security infrastructure for network applications.
* Access control : the DSA offers a mechanism defined by Telis
that is functionally equivalent to a profile of the X500 '93
access control mechanism. The mechanism is based on the notion
of administrative domains (autonomous and semi-autonomous). A
domain defines the user groups (categories) and their access
rights (consult, modify) to specified attribute types. The
access rights are defined in prescriptive and entry ACI
attributes.
* Phonetic searches : administrators may specify a language
(English, French, ...) for a subtree of the DIT. Approximate
(phonetic) searches will then be carried out in the given
language. The software loads a rule database to which new
languages and new rules may be added easily.
* Management: a Forum LOOK'UP DSA object has been defined to allow
operational parameters of the DSA to be managed via DAP. Forum
LOOK'UP conforms to X.500 (88) as specified in poaragraph 9 of
X.519 Administration tools are provided :
* to generate usage statistics automatically and distribute
these by mail to administrators
* to replicate subtrees of the DIT to other FORUM LOOK'UP DSAs
and automatically update shadow copies,
* to extract hardcopy listings from the database in an Excel
compatible format for "paper" directories, all the management
tasks are performed through a GUI (X/Motif).
* The GUI includes a "dashboard" for monitoring of servers and the
hardware they are installed on.
Apple, Rossen [Page 94]
INTERNET-DRAFT FORUM LOOK'UP(tm) 23 June 1996
* The DUAs include a graphical directory browser with powerful
search functionality for PCs and Macintosh.

via electronic mail.
CAVEATS AND GENERAL LIMITATIONS
* The DIT structure and inverted attribute tables are stored in
main memory.
* The recommended main memory size for a DSA is 1 kb per node,
i.e., 10 Mb for a database of 10,000 objects.
Apple, Rossen [Page 95]
INTERNET-DRAFT FORUM LOOK'UP(tm) 23 June 1996
* The current recommended maximum for the proprietary database
(based on the Unix file system) is a database size of the order
of 100,000 objects.
* For a larger database one unique server (up to 300,000 objects),
the use of the Oracle database is recommended
* Of the selected attribute types defined in X.500 (88), the
searchGuide attribute is not supported
* neither are the following attributes from the Cosine and
Internet Schema (RFC 1274): OtherMailbox, MailPreferenceOption
and the various quality attributes.
INTERNETWORKING ENVIRONMENT
Forum LOOK'UP includes a transport stack for TP0 with TCP/IP (RFC 1006)
and X.25. The stack has been ported to SunNet OSI for TP4 with CLNP.
DUAs on a LAN (Novell Netware, Microsoft Lan Manager, IBM Lan Server)
can access the DSA without the need for IP on every Workstation. A
module (called SOLO server) available on Novell, OS/2 and UNIX allows to
have an IP or X.25 stack only on the file server. It is in charge of
forwarding the request to a DSA.
A direct access (DUA / DSA) through IP, X.25, PSTN or ISDN is also
available.
HARDWARE PLATFORMS
Forum LOOK'UP can easily be ported to any UNIX machine.
It currently runs on: Sun Solaris and Hewlett Packard.
A port on IBM AIX is to be completed.
SOFTWARE PLATFORMS
The Forum LOOK'UP server is portable to any UNIX-like operating system.
X/Motif is the interface used for management.
The DUAs are available on Windows and Macintosh.
ORACLE V7 can be used as a database (option).

INTERNET-DRAFT FX*500 23 June 1996
NAME
FX*500
Firefox International Limited
ABSTRACT
FX*500 is a core component of Firefoxs product suite for mail,
messaging and directories.
FX*500 provides a Directory System Agent (DSA) which adheres to the
latest 1993 X.500 standards.
FX*500 may be used in conjunction with the Firefox FX*400 messaging
products or may be combined with a range of Directory User Agent and
Gateway products in order to satisfy a broad range of directory
requirements.
FX*500 affords unique integration opportunities with Novell's NetWare
Directory Service (NDS) by offering the option of true dynamic directory
integration between NDS and X.500.
FX*500 provides support for key features of the X.500 1993 standard
while continuing to support interworking with 1988 based directory user
agents and system agents. The main 1993 features of X.500 supported by
FX*500 are:
* Basic Access Control
* The 1993 DSA Information Model
* Replication and Shadowing
In summary, FX*500 supports:
* 1988 and 1993 X.500 Directory Access Protocol (DAP)
* 1988 and 1993 X.500 Directory System Protocol (DSP)
* 1993 X.500 Directory Information Shadowing Protocol (DISP)
* 1993 Basic (or Simplified) Access Control
Apple, Rossen [Page 98]
INTERNET-DRAFT FX*500 23 June 1996
* the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), as defined by
RFC 1777
* configuration of knowledge information for distributed operation
using 1993 operational attributes
* local management services, including a knowledge configuration
application and extensive diagnostic facilities
* an extended set of management applications
* operation in a wide variety of network environments including
connectivity over X.25, TCP/IP (RFC 1006) and OSI LANs.
* an application developer's toolkit
The optional application developer's toolkit includes:
* the X/Open Directory Services (XDS) API to support directory
user agent applications
* a Gateway (G-XDS) API which is based on a simplified version of
the XDS API syntax and allows developers to implement gateways
to existing/ proprietary directory databases
* a Network Management Interface (NMI) to support management
applications and integration with management services.
FX*500 is delivered with a schema defined to support the Common Use and
MHS (X.402) Schemas defined by UK GOSIP V4. The subschema for FX*500 can
be modified by the customer and updated dynamically.
FX*500 provides for search optimisation by supporting keyed search
whereby specific attributes can be identified as 'keyed' through local
configuration data. This optimisation avoids the need to do a "brute
force" search which requires a traversal of all the nodes of a subtree.
Approximate match search filters are also supported by using a phonetic
search based on the "Soundex" algorithm.
COMPLIANCE with X.500-1988 (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs)
FX*500 meets both the static and dynamic requirements implied by section
9.2 of X.519 1988.

NAME
ISODE Consortium Release 3.0 X.500(1993) Directory
ISODE Consortium Ltd.
ABSTRACT
This implementation is a source release of an X.500(1993) Directory
System Agent (DSA). It has been designed an implemented as an X.500
1993 DSA not as a 1988 DSA with '93 extensions. Emphasis has been
placed on providing support for a flexible information model, access
control, X.509 security features, and standard replication.
The 1993 DSA offers a strong technical foundation on which to build
an information and messaging infrastructure that relies on robust and
scalable directory services. The implementation of this DSA
incorporates the experience gained through the development, support,
and maintenance of the earlier QUIPU, as well as operational
experience and standards support.
COMPLIANCE with X.500-1988 (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs)
The DSA is aligned to the 1988 ISO IS and the NIST OIW Directory
Implementors Guide Version 1. X.500(1993) features such as
replication, access control, as well as X.509 certification are also
available. Interoperability testing with other DSAs has been
performed.
COMPLIANCE with X.500-1993 (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs)
Please contact the ISODE Consortium if you wish to obtain our
protocol information conformance statements. PICS may also be

INTERNET-DRAFT LDAP 23 June 1996
NAME
LDAP
University of Michigan
ABSTRACT
UM-LDAP is an implementation of the Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol. LDAP is a draft Internet standard directory service
protocol that runs over TCP/IP. It can be used to provide a stand-
alone directory service, or to provide lightweight access to the
X.500 directory. LDAP is defined by RFC 1777 and RFC 1778.
The UM-LDAP package includes the following components:
* slapd - a stand-alone LDAP directory server
* slurpd - a stand-alone LDAP replication server
* ldapd - an LDAP-to-X.500 gateway server
* centipede - an LDAP centroid generation and maintenance
program
* libldap - an LDAP client library
* liblber - a lightweight BER/DER encoding/decoding library
* ldif tools - data conversion tools for use with slapd
* in.xfingerd - a finger-to-LDAP gateway server
* go500 - a gopher-to-LDAP gateway server for searching
* go500gw - a gopher-to-LDAP gateway server for searching and
browsing
* rcpt500 - an email-to-LDAP query responder
* mail500 - an LDAP-capable mailer
* fax500 - an LDAP-capable mailer that supports remote printing
* LDAP tools - A collection of shell-based LDAP utility
programs
Apple, Rossen [Page 119]
INTERNET-DRAFT LDAP 23 June 1996
In addition, there are some contributed components:
* web500 - an HTTP-to-LDAP gateway
* whois++d - a WHOIS++-to-LDAP gateway
* saucer - a simple command-line oriented client program
The latest information about LDAP can always be found on the LDAP
Home Page at this URL:
http://www.umich.edu/~rsug/ldap/
COMPLIANCE with X.500-1988 (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs)
The U-M LDAP distribution is a complete implementation of the LDAP
protocol. The LDAP protocol does not support access to all X.500
features and operations. The operations supported are bind, search,
compare, add, delete, modify, modify RDN, and abandon. Note that
read and list operations can be emulated using the search operation.
Size and time limits may be specified, as may alias dereferencing and
searching, but all X.500 service controls are not supported.
COMPLIANCE with X.500-1993 (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs)
Since the LDAP protocol itself has not yet been updated to support
any 1993-specific X.500 features, this implementation does support
any 1993 features yet either.
CONFORMANCE WITH PROPOSED INTERNET STANDARDS
Believed to be compliant with:
RFC-1274: "The COSINE and Internet X.500 Schema"
RFC-1777: "Lightweight Directory Access Protocol"
RFC-1778: "The String Representation of Standard Attribute
Syntaxes"
RFC-1779: "A String Representation of Distinguished Names"
RFC-1781: "Using the OSI Directory to Achieve User Friendly
Naming"
Apple, Rossen [Page 120]
INTERNET-DRAFT LDAP 23 June 1996
CONSISTENCE WITH INFORMATIONAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RFCs
Includes an implementation of the LDAP API, as defined in RFC-1823.
Search filters used within UM-LDAP comply with RFC-1558: "A String
Representation of LDAP Search Filters."
INTEROPERABILITY
The current implementation of the X.500-backended LDAP server (ldapd)
is known to work with ISODE-based DAP libraries and the QUIPU DSA.
PILOT CONNECTIVITY
DUA connectivity should be possible to all pilots.
BUGS
Bug reports should be sent to bug-ldap@umich.edu.
CAVEATS AND GENERAL LIMITATIONS
None, aside from those mentioned above under completeness.
INTERNETWORKING ENVIRONMENT
LDAP clients use TCP to communicate with the LDAP server. The LDAP
server normally uses RFC 1006 with TCP/IP to communicate with the
DSA, though any other transport mechanism for DSA communication
supported by ISODE should be possible.
HARDWARE PLATFORMS
The complete UM-LDAP package has been ported to a wide variety of
UNIX systems, including: Sun3 and SPARCs running SunOS 4.1.x or
Solaris 2.x, DECStations running Ultrix 4.3, HP 9000 series running
HP-UX 9.05, IBM RS6000 running AIX 3.2.5, PCs running SCO, FreeBSD,
NetBSD, or LINUX, DEC Alphas ruuning OSF/1, and NeXTStatios running
NeXTSTEP 3.2. The complete package has also been ported to VMS. In
addition, the LDAP client libraries and some client programs have
been ported to Apple Macintosh and PCs running MSDOS or Windows.
SOFTWARE PLATFORMS
The complete UM-LDAP package has been ported to a wide variety of
UNIX systems, including: SunOS 4.1.x, Solaris 2.x, Ultrix 4.3, HP-UX
9.05, AIX 3.2.5, SCO, FreeBSD, NetBSD, LINUX, OSF/1, and NeXTSTEP
Apple, Rossen [Page 121]

INTERNET-DRAFT maX.500 23 June 1996
NAME
maX.500 :: Macintosh DUA Interface
University of Michigan
ABSTRACT
maX.500 is a Directory User Agent (client) for Apple Macintosh. It
is widely used within Paradise and other Internet X.500 pilots.
maX.500 supports searching, browsing, and modifying directory
entries. Display of textual information, playing of audio, and
viewing of both black-and-white (fax) and color (JPEG) images are
supported. Communication with directory servers is via the
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) over TCP/IP. maX.500
works both with standalone LDAP directory servers (such as slapd) and
with X.500-backended LDAP servers (such as ldapd).
maX.500 is a native Macintosh application, and has a friendly
interface. It requires System Software version 6.0.5 or later and
Apple's MacTCP or Open Transport TCP/IP networking. The current
version of maX.500 is 2.0.2, although version 2.1 is in beta test.
The latest information about maX.500 can always be found on the
maX.500 Home Page at this URL:
http://www.umich.edu/~rsug/ldap/max500/
COMPLIANCE with X.500-1988 (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs)
maX.500 works over LDAP, and is subject to LDAP's limitations. The
bind, search, compare, add, delete, abandon, modify, and modifyrdn
operations are all used by maX.500. Size and time limits may be
specified, as may alias dereferencing control.
COMPLIANCE with X.500-1993 (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs)
maX.500 currently uses LDAP as defined in RFC-1777, which does not
support any 1993-specific X.500 features.
CONFORMANCE WITH PROPOSED INTERNET STANDARDS
Believed to be compliant with:
Apple, Rossen [Page 123]
INTERNET-DRAFT maX.500 23 June 1996

RFC-1779: "A String Representation of Distinguished Names"
RFC-1781: "Using the OSI Directory to Achieve User Friendly Naming"
CONSISTENCE WITH INFORMATIONAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RFCs
Search filters comply with RFC-1558: "A String Representation of LDAP
Search Filters." Uses the LDAP API, as defined in RFC-1823.
INTEROPERABILITY
maX.500 is known to work with the U-M LDAP servers (ldapd and slapd).
It has also been tested with other commerical LDAP servers, such as
Control Data's server. maX.500 has been used with a wide variety of
DSAs (always through an LDAP server).
PILOT CONNECTIVITY
DUA connectivity should be possible to all pilots.
BUGS
Bug reports should be sent to max500-bugs@umich.edu.
CAVEATS AND GENERAL LIMITATIONS
maX.500 does not support modification of "photo" (fax), "jpegPhoto",
or "audio" attributes. Versions of maX.500 before 2.1 did not
support a fully functional browse facility.
INTERNETWORKING ENVIRONMENT
maX.500 is an LDAP client, and as such is uses TCP to communicate
with the LDAP server. Apple's MacTCP control panel or Open
Transport TCP/IP networking is required.
HARDWARE PLATFORMS
maX.500 runs on Apple Macintosh Plus or later Macintosh computers,
including PowerMacs. It requires 600K of free RAM.
Apple, Rossen [Page 124]
INTERNET-DRAFT maX.500 23 June 1996
SOFTWARE PLATFORMS
maX.500 requires Apple System Software 6.0.5 or later (System 7
preferred) and MacTCP 1.1 or later (2.0.6 preferred). maX.500 2.1,
which is currently in beta test, will run natively on the PowerMac
and use the native Open Transport networking interface if it is

INTERNET-DRAFT PMDF-X500 23 June 1996
NAME
PMDF-X500
from:
Innosoft International, Inc. 1050 East Garvey Ave. South West
Covina, California 91790
Phone: +1 818-919-3600 email: sales@innosoft.com
ABSTRACT
PMDF-X500 is Innosoft's implementation of the X.500 standards for
Directory Services. PMDF-X500 is based upon the ISODE Consortium
code-base. The core of PMDF-X500 is the Directory System Agent (DSA)
server. This server provides directory information to Directory User
Agents (DUA) using either OSI or TCP/IP networking protocols. Since
PMDF-X500 is based on a widely used implementation, it interoperates
particularly well with a whole host of X.500-based products from
other sources.
In order to facilitate initial loading of directory data as well as
ongoing coordination with other directory services, PMDF-X500
includes tools to import from and export directory information to
Entry Description File (EDF) files. EDF files are flat text files.
PMDF-X500 provides directory coordination functions using EDF files
for the following directories:
* X.500 DSAs supporting LDAP access
* cc:Mail
* Digital's DDS
* GroupWise
* Microsoft Mail
* PMDF generic databases
COMPLIANCE with X.500-1988 (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs)
OSI directory services as specified in CCITT X.500 Recommendations
and ISO 9594 use the Directory Access Protocol (DAP) and the
Apple, Rossen [Page 140]
INTERNET-DRAFT PMDF-X500 23 June 1996
Directory System Protocol (DSP).
COMPLIANCE with X.500-1993 (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs)
PMDF-X500 does not yet support the 1993 changes to the X.500
standard. Support for the 1993 X.500 recommendations is planned for
a future release of PMDF-X500.
CONFORMANCE WITH PROPOSED INTERNET STANDARDS
PMDF-X500 supports DAP and DSP accesses using Internet protocols as
specified in RFC 1006. In addition, the Internet community has
proposed two lightweight alternatives to DAP called Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), which is specified in RFC1777, and
Connectionless Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (CLDAP), which
is specified in RFC1798. LDAP and CLDAP, which are currently
specified to run over TCP/IP, are much simpler protocols than DAP and
were designed to reduce the cost of entry associated with using X.500
protocols in client applications. PMDF-X500 includes both LDAP and
CLDAP servers.
The LDAP server accesses X.500 directory information using DAP to
communicate with X.500 DSAs. PMDF-X500 provides an LDAP server which
translates LDAP requests into DAP requests to communicate with X.500
DSAs. CLDAP defines a very low overhead method for accessing X.500
directory information. CLDAP is suitable for providing access to
information that does not require access controls.
CONSISTENCE WITH INFORMATIONAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RFCs
[No information provided. -- Ed.]
INTEROPERABILITY
PMDF-X500 interoperates with a large number of DUAs and DSAs. This is
demonstated by the fact that PMDF-X500 is DSA used by several
Internet White Pages Project participants. PMDF-X500 DSA
interoperability includes at least all of the DSA that are used in
the White Pages Project.
PMDF-X500 is delivered with several DUAs and in addition is know to
support the DUAs from Unisys and Digital Equipment Corporation as
well as the publically available DUAs MaX500, Cello, Swix, and the
NASA DUA.

CAVEATS AND GENERAL LIMITATIONS

INTERNETWORKING ENVIRONMENT
DAP and DSP are layered on top of the OSI protocol suite. PMDF-X500
supports this protocol suite over multiple network transports. For a
pure OSI protocol stack, DECnet/OSI can be used to provide the lower
layers of the stack. In addition, PMDF-X500 supports running OSI
upper layer protocols over a TCP/IP transport in accordance with
RFC1006. It is important to note that while RFC1006 specifies TCP/IP
as a transport, all of the OSI upper layer protocols are always used
with DAP and DSP.

INTERNET-DRAFT X.500-DS, X.500-DUA 23 June 1996
NAME
X500-DS
X500-DUA
Bull S.A.
ABSTRACT
X500-DS and X500-DUA are integral part of the large Bull OSI offer.
Although based on the DCE/GDS (Distributed Computing Environment/Global
Directory Service) of OSF, those two products may be installed and used
without the DCE environment. Some enhancements have been added for the
user and the management facilities. X500-DS is designed to implement
both the DUA and the DSA functions, whilst X500-DUA only provides the
DUA functions.
The X500-DUA package contains:
* The standards APIs XOM (X/Open OSI-Abstract-Data Manipulation
API) and XDS (X/Open Directory Service API) for the development
of portable applications,
* A core DUA to translate all user's requests (bind, read, list,
compare, modify, modifyRDN, search, add, remove, unbind ...)
into the DAP protocol used for communication with distant DSAs,
* The OSI standard high layers (ASN.1, ROSE, ACSE, Presentation
and Session) for communication with the distant DSAs. The
interface with the low layers is XTI. RFC-1006 is supported
under XTI or the OSI Session,
* A DUA Cache to improve performances when accessing remote DSAs,
* A powerful management application facilitating the configuration
of the product and controlling the operations, logs and traces,
* A user application for the manipulations of the database
entries,
* A generic tool to load and unload ASCII and binary files in/from
distributed DSAs,
Apple, Rossen [Page 146]
INTERNET-DRAFT X.500-DS, X.500-DUA 23 June 1996
* The support of the LDAP (RFC 1777) thanks to an LDAP Server,
* A DUA Server that allows to use A-Window-To-Directory (refer to
this DUA product description) on a PC.
The X500-DS package contains:
* All components of the X500-DUA,
* A core DSA to process all requests received from distant DUAs
through DAP protocol or from distant DSAs through DSP protocol,
* The support of the referral, chained and multi-casting modes of
operation, access control lists and management of knowledge
information (for distribution, shadows and copies of sub-trees),
* The support of the simple authentication and of the DCE
authentication,
* A management application for managing the schema information
(creation, deletion and modification of object classes and of
attribute types, management of the rules of the DIT).
* A C-ISAM database that is specially designed for high
performances: e.g. less than 10 ms to read an entry on an Escala
at the XOM/XDS interface.
These two products are easely installed, configured and administered
thanks to the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) screens of AIX.
COMPLIANCE with X.500-1988 (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs)
Compliant with EWOS and OIW Agreements
Consists of both DUA and DSA implementation according to the '88 CCITT
X.500 and ISO 9594 standard. The X/Open standard XDS and XOM interface
libraries are also provided. When the product is installed with the DCE
environment, XDS and XOM interfaces are also used to access DCE/CDS
(Local Cell Directory Service) transparently. A GDA (Global Directory
Agent) serves then as the gateway between the DCE CDS and GDS.
