1. 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
   and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any
   time.  It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference material
   or to cite them other than as "work in progress."
 
   To learn the current status of any Internet-Draft, please check the
   "1id-abstracts.txt" listing  contained in the Internet-Drafts Shadow
   Directories on ds.internic.net (US East Coast), nic.nordu.net (Europe),
   ftp.isi.edu (US West Coast), or munnari.oz.au (Pacific Rim).

2. Abstract

   This document provides an overview of the attribute types and object 
   classes defined by the ISO and ITU-T committees in the X.500 
   documents, in particular those intended for use by directory clients.
   This is the most widely used schema for LDAP/X.500 directories, and 
   many other schema definitions for white pages objects use it as a 
   basis.  This document does not cover attributes used for the 
   administration of X.500 directory servers, nor does it include 
   attributes defined by other ISO/ITU-T documents.

3. General Issues

   This document references syntaxes given in section 6 of this document 
   and section 6 of [1].  Matching rules are listed in section 8 of this
   document and section 8 of [1].

   The attribute type and object class definitions are written using the 
   BNF form of AttributeTypeDescription and ObjectClassDescription given 
   in [1].  Lines have been folded for readability.

4. Source

   The schema definitions in this document are based on those found in 
   X.500 [2],[3],[4],[5], and updates to these documents, specifically:  

        Sections                Source
        ============            ============
        5.1  - 5.2              X.501(93)
        5.3  - 5.36             X.520(88)
        5.37 - 5.41             X.509(93)

        7.22                    X.521(96)

   Some attribute names are different from those found in X.520(93).  

   Three new attributes supportedAlgorithms, deltaRevocationList and 
   dmdName, and the objectClass dmd, are defined in the X.500(96)
   documents.

5. Attribute Types

   An LDAP server implementation SHOULD recognize the attribute types 
   described in this section. 

5.1. objectClass

   The values of the objectClass attribute describe the kind of object 
   which an entry represents.  The objectClass attribute is present in 
   every entry, with at least two values.  One of the values is either 
   "top" or "alias".

    ( 2.5.4.0 NAME 'objectClass' EQUALITY objectIdentifierMatch 
      SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.38 ) 

5.2. aliasedObjectName

   The aliasedObjectName attribute is used by the directory service if 
   the entry containing this attribute is an alias.  

    ( 2.5.4.1 NAME 'aliasedObjectName' EQUALITY distinguishedNameMatch
      SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.12 SINGLE-VALUE )

5.42. name

   The name attribute type is the attribute supertype from which string 
   attribute types typically used for naming may be formed.  It is 
   unlikely that values of this type itself will occur in an entry.  
   LDAP server implementations which do not support attribute subtyping 
   need not recognize this attribute in requests.   Client 
   implementations MUST NOT assume that LDAP servers are capable of 
   performing attribute subtyping.

5.46. x500UniqueIdentifier

   The x500UniqueIdentifier attribute is used to distinguish between

5.47. dnQualifier
   
   The dnQualifier attribute type specifies disambiguating information to
   add to the relative distinguished name of an entry.  It is intended 
   for use when merging data from multiple sources in order to prevent 
   conflicts between entries which would otherwise have the same name.  
   It is recommended that the value of the dnQualifier attribute be the 
   same for all entries from a particular source.

   it is instead a base type from which attributes with DN syntax 
   inherit.

6. Syntaxes

   Servers SHOULD recognize the syntaxes defined in this section.
   Each syntax begins with a sample value of the ldapSyntaxes attribute
   which defines the OBJECT IDENTIFIER of the syntax.  The descriptions
   of syntax names are not carried in protocol, and are not guaranteed
   to be unique.

6.2. Enhanced Guide

   ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.21 DESC 'Enhanced Guide' )

   Values in this syntax are encoded according to the following BNF:

       person#(sn)#oneLevel

6.3. Guide

   ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.25 DESC 'Guide' ) 

   Values in this syntax are encoded according to the following BNF:

     guide-value = [ object-class "#" ] criteria

     object-class = woid 

     criteria = criteria-item / criteria-set / ( "!" criteria )

     criteria-set = ( [ "(" ] criteria "&" criteria-set [ ")" ] ) /
                    ( [ "(" ] criteria "|" criteria-set [ ")" ] )

     criteria-item = [ "(" ] attributetype "$" match-type [ ")" ]

     match-type = "EQ" / "SUBSTR" / "GE" / "LE" / "APPROX"

   This syntax should not be used for defining new attributes.

6.4. Octet String

   ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.40 DESC 'Octet String' )

   Values in this syntax are encoded as octet strings.  

   Example: 

      secret

6.5. Teletex Terminal Identifier

   ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.51 DESC 'Teletex Terminal Identifier' )

   Values in this syntax are encoded according to the following BNF:

      teletex-id = ttx-term  0*("$" ttx-param)

      ttx-term   = printablestring

      ttx-param  = ttx-key ":" ttx-value

      ttx-key    = "graphic" / "control" / "misc" / "page" / "private"

      ttx-value  = octetstring

   In the above, the first printablestring is the encoding of the
   first portion of the teletex terminal identifier to be encoded, and
   the subsequent 0 or more octetstrings are subsequent portions
   of the teletex terminal identifier.

6.6. Telex Number

   ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.52 DESC 'Telex Number' )

   Values in this syntax are encoded according to the following BNF:

      telex-number  = actual-number "$" country "$" answerback

      actual-number = printablestring

      country       = printablestring

      answerback    = printablestring

   In the above, actual-number is the syntactic representation of the
   number portion of the TELEX number being encoded, country is the
   TELEX country code, and answerback is the answerback code of a
   TELEX terminal.

6.7. Supported Algorithm

   ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.49 DESC 'Supported Algorithm' )

   No printable representation of values of the supportedAlgorithms 
   attribute is defined in this document.  Clients which wish to store 
   and retrieve this attribute MUST use "supportedAlgorithms;binary", in 
   which the value is transferred as a binary encoding.

7. Object Classes

   LDAP servers MUST recognize the object classes "top" and "subschema". 
   LDAP servers SHOULD recognize all the other object classes listed here 
   as values of the objectClass attribute.

8. Matching Rules

   Servers MAY implement additional matching rules. 

8.1. octetStringMatch

   Servers which implement the extensibleMatch filter SHOULD allow 
   the matching rule listed in this section to be used in the
   extensibleMatch.  In general these servers SHOULD allow matching
   rules to be used with all attribute types known to the server, when
   the assertion syntax of the matching rule is the same as the value 
   syntax of the attribute.

9. Security Considerations

   Attributes of directory entries are used to provide descriptive 
   information about the real-world objects they represent, which can
   be people, organizations or devices.  Most countries have privacy
   laws regarding the publication of information about people.

   Transfer of cleartext passwords are strongly discouraged where the 
   underlying transport service cannot guarantee confidentiality and may 
   result in disclosure of the password to unauthorized parties.

10. Acknowledgements

   The definitions on which this document have been developed by 
   committees for telecommunications and international standards.
   No new attribute definitions have been added.  The syntax definitions
   are based on the ISODE "QUIPU" implementation of X.500.
