 This memo provides information for the Internet community.  This memo
 does not specify an Internet standard of any kind.  Distribution of
 this memo is unlimited.

Abstract

 This document is 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 31 X.500
 implementations - DSAs, DUAs, and DUA interfaces.

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

Apple & Rossen Informational [Page 2] RFC 2116 X.500 Implementations Catalog-96 April 1997

 (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
 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.

Apple & Rossen Informational [Page 3] RFC 2116 X.500 Implementations Catalog-96 April 1997

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
 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.

NAME

 A-Window-To-Directory (AWTD)

ABSTRACT

 A-Window-To-Directory is a simple-to-use DUA interface available on
 PC that provides access to the X.500 Directory Services. The
 available operations are: bind (authenticated or anonymous), read,
 list, compare, modify, modifyRDN, search, add, remove and unbind.  It
 is designed to be used with the Bull X500-DUA product and for that
 reason is able to handle any of the defined schema. The new acronyms,
 objects and attributes are automatically loaded without any
 customisation.  The interface of the application may be personalized
 in several ways, through Local Preferences stored on the PC and
 through User Settings stored on the UNIX machine that runs the Bull
 X500-DUA product.

NAME

 Critical Angle X.500 Enabler
 (CAIx500e)

ABSTRACT

 The X.500 Enabler product allows an LDAP-only directory server to be
 integrated into X.500 environments, by transparently converting X.500
 DAP and DSP requests into LDAP requests.
 The initial release scheduled for 4Q96 will allow for connections
 from X.500-capable clients and servers to an LDAP-capable server, and
 will support the following features:
  • LDAP version 2, as defined in RFC 1777,
  • all attributes defined for LDAPv2, with the exception of

certificates and revocation lists,

  • X.500(1988) DAP and DSP protocols over TCP/IP (using RFC

1006),

  • the following operations: Bind (with none or simple

credentials), Read, Compare, List, Search, Abandon, AddEntry,

      ModifyEntry, RemoveEntry and ModifyRDN,
  • the X.500(1993) critical extensions field, to aid in

deployments incorporating 1993 DSAs.

 This release will be available for Solaris 2.5 (SPARC and Intel) and
 Windows NT 4.0 Server (Intel).
 The product is expected to enter a public beta test period in
 September 1996.  Beta test evaluation copies will be free (limited to
 two copies per site) but will be set to expire in December 1996.
 Released versions of X.500 Enabler will be licensed per server, and
 will be distributed over the Internet.

COMPLIANCE with X.500-1988 (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs)

 The X.500 enabler accepts DAP and DSP connections.
 It supports Bind (with none or simple credentials), Read, Compare,
 List, Search, Abandon, AddEntry, ModifyEntry, RemoveEntry and
 ModifyRDN.

Apple & Rossen Informational [Page 34] RFC 2116 X.500 Implementations Catalog-96 April 1997

 It supports the attributes and object classes defined in X.520 and
 X.521.

COMPLIANCE with X.500-1993 (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs)

 The X.500 Enabler will accept connections from X.500(1993) DUAs and
 DSAs.
 It supports the X.511(1993) critical extension mechanism.
 Non-critical protocol fields which do not map onto LDAPv2 are
 ignored.
 Attribute and object classes from X.520(1993) and X.521(1993) are
 supported, including collective.  Operational attributes from X.501
 are supported, with the exception of subschema.
 As LDAPv3-based servers become available, it is expected that the
 X.500 Enabler will be upgraded to map more of the X.500(1993)
 protocol onto LDAPv3.

CONFORMANCE WITH PROPOSED INTERNET STANDARDS

 [RFC 1006] is the supported transport service.
 The product supports the object classes and attributes defined in RFC
 1274.

INTEROPERABILITY

 The X.500 Enabler is being tested with public-domain X.500 and LDAP
 clients and servers, and with the various X.500 clients and servers
 connected to the PARADISE project, such as from the ISODE Consortium.
 Critical Angle intends to do interoperability testing with commercial
 LDAP-only servers as they become available.

PILOT CONNECTIVITY

 This product will be used to connect LDAP-only servers, such as
 University of Michigan's slapd, and many vendor's forthcoming
 commercial LDAP server products, into the PARADISE project directory,
 so that they can be accessed by LDAP and X.500 DUAs throughout the
 project.

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.

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:
  • genuine multi-threaded implementation

Apple & Rossen Informational [Page 42] RFC 2116 X.500 Implementations Catalog-96 April 1997

  • 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.

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.

NAME

 Digital X.500 Directory Server Digital Equipment Corporation
 This single entry covers a number of different products

ABSTRACT

 The Digital X.500 Directory Services product set includes a directory
 server product and a variety directory user agents, as well as a
 directory synchronizer utility.
 The Digital X.500 Directory Server product provides a high
 performance DSA implemented according to the 1993 edition of the
 standard. The InfoBroker Server product extends this to provide the
 server component for LDAP and WWW user agents.  Features of these
 servers include:
  • Integrated multi-protocol support allowing concurrent DAP,

DSP, DISP and DOP access over OSI and TCP/IP (using [RFC

         1006]) protocols.
  • Indexed database (DIB) to support high-performance searching

and sophisticated matching including approximate match.

  • A DIB based on the 1993 edition Extended Information Models.
  • Support for chaining and referrals in support of a

distributed DIB

  • Support for the 1993 edition Basic Access Control scheme.
  • Configurable schema based on the 1993 edition (including

attributes, object classes, structure rules, name forms).

  • Support for 1993 edition Shadowing using the DISP and DOP

protocol, including both incremental and on-change features

         for high performance.
  • Remote management to control DSAs and log significant events.
  • Support for the LDAP protocols using the InfoBroker Server

product across either TCP/IP or DECnet transport protocols.

  • A Look-up Daemon that accepts requests from Web Browsers,

allowing access to the directory from any web browser.

  • Both X/OPEN XDS/XOM and LDAP APIs.

Apple & Rossen Informational [Page 54] RFC 2116 X.500 Implementations Catalog-96 April 1997

  • An award winning documentation set.
 The Digital X.500 Administration Facility, X.500 Information Manager
 and InfoBroker Client products provide MS-Windows, Motif and command
 line interfaces to access and manage the information stored in the
 X.500 directory, including:
  • Support for different ways of accessing the directory, either

by browsing or searching based on an extensible set of

         filters.
  • Support for bulk load, unload and reload of entries.
  • Driven off the same configurable schema information as the

DSA allowing extensibility of window layouts and text to

         support customer-defined object classes and attributes.
 The Synchronizer-500 is an X.500 DUA which:
  • Enables bi-directional synchronization between X.500 and

virtually ANY other non-X.500 directory facilitating common

   management.
  • Maps incoming data into X.500 using flexible configuration

files

  • Facilitates creation of a multivendor electronic mail

database, creating addresses in the appropriate syntax for

   any mail system.
  • Provides uniqueness checking on mnemonic O/R addresses,

preventing address duplication

COMPLIANCE with X.500-1988 (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs)

 The Digital X.500 Directory Services products are based on the 1993
 edition standard. They are compatible with, and interwork with, 1988

NAME

 DIR.X (tm) V3.1 Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG

ABSTRACT

 DIR.X V3.1 is Siemens Nixdorf's Directory Service product compliant
 with the 1988 ITU-T X.500 recommendations. Siemens Nixdorf has
 supplied its Directory Service product as the GDS (Global Directory
 Service) component to OSF DCE.  However, DIR.X V3.1 has a number of
 features and enhancements which are not available in the GDS
 component of OSF DCE.
 DIR.X V3.1 is a distributed, replicated Directory Service. It
 consists of DSA, DUA and a tools package including comfortable
 administration and management utilities. DIR.X implements the
 protocol stack ranging from LDAP, DAP, DSP over ACSE, ROSE,
 Presentation, Session down to [RFC 1006]. On transport layer it
 supports TCP/IP and OSI LAN/WAN protocols.
 Data stored by DIR.X can be accessed via
  • the MS-Windows user interfaces DIR.D/ORG.D which are

available as separate products from Siemens Nixdorf

  • any third-party LDAP or DAP browser
  • directory applications using the standardized X/Open XDS/XOM

APIs (Directory Service / OSI Abstract Data Manipulation).

      The Siemens Nixdorf implementation was the first to gain
      XPG4-certification.
  • a command-line administration program
  • a menu-driven administration program
  • WWW
  • a shell interface
  • the Query-by-mail interface of SNI's directory

synchronization product DIR.X-SYNC

 DIR.X enables
  • The storage of globally-unique, tree-like name structures

which can be mapped onto organizations.

Apple & Rossen Informational [Page 63] RFC 2116 X.500 Implementations Catalog-96 April 1997

  • The use of several alternative names (aliases) for one and

the same directory entry.

  • Search queries that allow the user to select objects on the

basis of specific attributes and their values, as with a

      "Yellow Pages" telephone directory
  • Treemanagement functions which can cover entire subtrees.
  • The creation and automatic updating of copies ("shadows")

from remote computers.

  • Access protection at attribute level, which regulates access

on an object-specific basis.

  • The storage of unstructured attributes (graphics, pixels).
 The tools package of DIR.X V3.1 includes:
  • gdssetup: A simple-to-use tool for the generation and

initialization of a directory configuration.

  • gdshdsch: Enables the directory administrator to modify the

directory schema off-line.

  • X.500 MIB access via SNMP
  • gdscp: A TCL based administration tool for UNIX clients with

full XDS functionality

  • gdshd: A powerful import/export tool
 Additional features include:
  • support for ISO 8859-1 characters
  • dynamic schema modifications
  • caching.

NAME

DIR.X-SYNC ™ 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)

Apple & Rossen Informational [Page 74] RFC 2116 X.500 Implementations Catalog-96 April 1997

 The standardized ISO-10021 interface for X.400 addresses is
 supported, 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

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.
  • Knowledge management: knowledge on managed domains is stored

in Forum LOOK'UP specific attributes of the DSA entries.

Apple & Rossen Informational [Page 80] RFC 2116 X.500 Implementations Catalog-96 April 1997

  • 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.

  • The DUAs include a graphical directory browser with powerful

search functionality for PCs and Macintosh.

BUGS

 Forum LOOK'UP is a commercial product. As such, it is supported and
 bugs are fixed when detected.
 Bug reports can be sent to our support team 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 1kb per node,

i.e., 10 Mb for a database of 10,000 objects.

  • 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

Apple & Rossen Informational [Page 82] RFC 2116 X.500 Implementations Catalog-96 April 1997

  • 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).

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
  • the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), as defined

by [RFC 1777]

Apple & Rossen Informational [Page 85] RFC 2116 X.500 Implementations Catalog-96 April 1997

  • 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
 available from member organizations for their binary products.

INTEROPERABILITY

 Interoperability with several other DSAs has been demonstrated in
 pilot operation and at Eurosinet in October 1995.
 At Eurosinet, X.500 interoperability testing used the X.500 DAP
 (Directory Access) and DSP (Directory System) protocols. Successful
 testing was done between the ISODE Consortium X.500(1993) DSA and
 DSAs from four other vendors including Siemens-Nixdorf and Bull. The
 ISODE Consortium was the only vendor to bring an X.500(93) compliant
 DSA to the workshop for the scheduled X.500(93) testing.

PILOT CONNECTIVITY

 Connectivity to the global research pilots (PARADISE etc.) has been
 demonstrated. It is expected that this system will be used
 extensively in a wide range of pilot activities.  DUA Connectivity,
 and DSA Connectivity.

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 Informational [Page 108] RFC 2116 X.500 Implementations Catalog-96 April 1997

 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], [RFC 1777], [RFC 1778], [RFC 1779], [RFC 1781]

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].

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.

Apple & Rossen Informational [Page 109] RFC 2116 X.500 Implementations Catalog-96 April 1997

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 running 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
 3.2.  It has also been ported to VMS.  In addition, the LDAP client
 libraries and some clients have been ported to Macintosh (System 7),
 MSDOS (some TCP/IP stacks), and Microsoft Windows 3.1, 95, and NT.

NUMBER OF IMPLEMENTATIONS IN THE FIELD

 Unknown; used by almost all Internet X.500 sites.

 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:
    [RFC 1274], [RFC 1777], [RFC 1778], [RFC 1779], [RFC 1781]

Apple & Rossen Informational [Page 112] RFC 2116 X.500 Implementations Catalog-96 April 1997

CONSISTENCE WITH INFORMATIONAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RFCs

 Search filters comply with [RFC 1558].
 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.

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
 installed.

NAME

 NonStop Directory Services (NSDS)
 Tandem Computers, Inc.

ABSTRACT

 The Tandem NonStop Directory Services (NSDS) product provides a
 distributed open directory service on Tandem platforms.  It is an
 industrial strength implementation incorporating the Tandem product
 fundementals of resilience, linear extensibility, fault-tolerance, and
 continuous availability. NSDS runs on the NonStop Kernel Guardian
 Personality which includes support for Tandem system characteristics
 such as data integrity, process persistence, and server classes.  NSDS
 supports access over X.25 WAN, LAN and TCP/IP networks.
 NSDS is a port of OSF's DCE GDS Reference Implementation, with Tandem
 enhancements including 1993 X.500 Simplified Access Control. Tandem
 server class management provides fault events, tracing, accounting and
 configuration services for NSDS. TM/MP (Transaction Management) is
 used to protect all file operations that affect the integrity of the
 directory entries in the DIB.
 Major Features Include:
  • X/Open Directory Services (XDS) API and X/Open Object

Management (XOM) interface in conformance with X/Open CAE

      Specifications, and an additional Tandem extension package
  • 1988 Edition X.500 Conformant DAP and DSP, capable of inter-

operating with 1993 Edition DUA or DSA implementations

  • Simplified Access Control as specified in the 1993 edition of

the X.500 standard.

  • Unprotected Simple Authentication (name and password in

clear)

  • Character set support for T61 Printables, IA5 and Teletex

Strings

  • The DSA-SC server class performs the functions of a DSA.

Multiple processes are used for fault tolerance and load

      balancing.
  • The DUA-ACCESS server class handles communications between

local applications and remote DSA's using DAP across an OSI

      stack.

Apple & Rossen Informational [Page 121] RFC 2116 X.500 Implementations Catalog-96 April 1997

  • The DSA-ACCESS server class handles communications from

remote DUAs or DSAs to the DSA-SC server class using the

      Tandem OSI stack implementation which includes [RFC 1006]
      support for TCP/IP networks.
  • The DSA-CHAIN server class handles chaining communications

between the DSA-SC server class and remote DSAs.

  • NSDS GUI Viewer supports administration/management of an NSDS

DIB on a PC Windows workstation. The NSDS GUI Viewer is

      supported by a persistent server process on the Tandem
      NonStop Kernel.  The  GUI Viewer allows a directory entry and
      a complete set of attributes and values to be inserted
      anywhere in the directory tree (DIT), to be deleted or
      changed, read or searched based on distinguished name
      components, with or without wild-card.
  • NSDS SCRIPTOR allows customers to explore features of the XDS

programmatic interface in advance of writing their XOM/XDS

      application. NSDS SCRIPTOR is a menu-driven batch interface
      to XDS functions.
  • A BulkUnload/BulkLoad utility allows a branch of the DIB to

be dumped to an editable flat file and restored from that

      file.  The flat file can be modified before being bulk-loaded
      into a DIB which may conform to a different schema
      definition.
  • Support for the LDAP protocol.
  • Messaging-Based Directory Query (MDQ) provides a text-based

query interface to the directory from an X.400 messaging

      system, such as Tandem OSI/MHS, via the XAPIA compliant GPI
      interface.

COMPLIANCE with X.500-1988 (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs)

 NSDS complies with the '88 CCITT X.500 and ISO 9594 standard, and
 part of '93 X.500 standard.
 NSDS DSA and DUA are compliant with OIW Agreements, with the
 following features yet to be implemented:
  • Strong Authentication (Sections 6.6.2 and 8.4e)
  • Priority Service Control (Section 7.4)

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
 Directory System Protocol (DSP).

Apple & Rossen Informational [Page 138] RFC 2116 X.500 Implementations Catalog-96 April 1997

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 [RFC 1777],
 and Connectionless Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (CLDAP),
 which is specified in [RFC 1798]. 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.

PILOT CONNECTIVITY

 PMDF-X500 is used by several sites that are participants of the
 Internet White Pages Project include the Innosoft DSA.

CAVEATS AND GENERAL LIMITATIONS

 [No information provided. -- Ed.]

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 [RFC 1006].
 It is important to note that while [RFC 1006] specifies TCP/IP as a
 transport, all of the OSI upper layer protocols are always used with
 DAP and DSP.

NAME

 waX.500
 University of Michigan

ABSTRACT

 waX.500 :: Windows Access to X.500
 waX.500 is a (currently 16-bit) DUA that run on Microsoft Windows
 (3.1, Win95, & WinNT).  It uses libldap.dll which uses the winsock
 (v1.1) interface.  It works on any vendors tcp/ip stack that I've
 seen so far (some configuration may be required).
 waX.500 was developed by the University of Michigan for use by its
 faculty, staff and students. UM's online directory is an X.500
 directory containing 50,000+ entries.
 I keep the following Web page up to date with respect to latest
 release, etc.:

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 Informational [Page 157] RFC 2116 X.500 Implementations Catalog-96 April 1997

  • 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.

COMPLIANCE with X.500-1993 (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs)

 [New description field -- Ed.]

Apple & Rossen Informational [Page 158] RFC 2116 X.500 Implementations Catalog-96 April 1997

CONFORMANCE WITH PROPOSED INTERNET STANDARDS

 Supports [RFC 1277], [RFC 1777].

CONSISTENCE WITH INFORMATIONAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RFCs

 [No information provided--Ed.]

INTEROPERABILITY

 This implementation of DAP and DSP can interoperate with other X.500
 implementations from other Cebit and EUROSINET demo participants
 including IBM, HP, ICL, Siemens-Nixdorf, SUN, Marben, NEXOR, etc. It
 also interoperates with ISODE QUIPU.

PILOT CONNECTIVITY

CAVEATS AND GENERAL LIMITATIONS

 [No information provided--Ed.]

INTERNETWORKING ENVIRONMENT

 OSI TP4 with CLNP (WAN - LAN)
 OSI TP0, 2 & 4 with X.25 (WAN)
 [RFC 1006] with TCP/IP
 Either BSD sockets or XTI can be used to access the transports.
 Through XTI, both OSI and TCP/IP protocols are possible on the same
 machine, thus permitting to build a Directory Service distributed on
 OSI and TCP/IP networks.
