INTERNET-DRAFT draft-ietf-ldapbis-user-schema-04 25 February 2003 Abstract This document provides an overview of attribute types and object classes defined by the ISO/IEC JTC1 and ITU-T committees in the IS0/IEC 9594 and X.500 documents, in particular those intended for use by directory clients. This is the most widely used schema for LDAP/X.500 directories. It is used as a basis for many other white pages objects schema definitions. 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. The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

INTERNET-DRAFT draft-ietf-ldapbis-user-schema-04 25 February 2003 1. General Issues This document references Syntaxes given in Section 3 of [Syntaxes] and Matching Rules specified in Section 4 of [Syntaxes]. The definitions of Attribute Types and Object Classes are written using the ABNF form of AttributeTypeDescription and ObjectClassDescription given in [Models]. Lines have been folded for readability. 2. Source The schema definitions in this document are based on those found in the X.500-series [X.520] and [X.521] and RFC 2247 [RFC2247], specifically: Sections Source ============ ================== 3.1 - 3.3 X.520 [X.520] 3.4 RFC 2247 [RFC2247] 3.5 - 3.42 X.520 [X.520] 4.1 - 4.3 X.521 [X.521] 4.4 RFC 2247 [RFC2247] 4.5 - 4.13 X.521 [X.521] 3. Attribute Types The Attribute Types contained in this section hold user information. There is no requirement that servers implement the following Attribute Types: searchGuide teletexTerminalIdentifier In fact, their use is greatly discouraged. An LDAP server implementation SHOULD recognize the rest of the Attribute Types described in this section. 3.1 businessCategory This Attribute Type describes the kind of business performed by an organization.

INTERNET-DRAFT draft-ietf-ldapbis-user-schema-04 25 February 2003 ( 2.5.4.15 NAME 'businessCategory' EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15{128} ) The SYNTAX oid indicates the Directory String syntax. 3.2 c This is the X.520 [X.520] countryName Attribute Type, which contains a two-letter ISO 3166 [ISO3166]country code. ( 2.5.4.6 NAME 'c' SUP name SINGLE-VALUE ) 3.3 cn This is the X.520 [X.520] commonName Attribute Type, which contains a name of an object. If the object corresponds to a person, it is typically the person's full name. ( 2.5.4.3 NAME 'cn' SUP name ) 3.4 dc The dc (short for domainComponent) attribute type is defined as follows: ( 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.25 NAME 'dc' EQUALITY caseIgnoreIA5Match SUBSTR caseIgnoreIA5SubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 SINGLE-VALUE ) The value of this attribute is a string holding one component of a DNS domain name. The encoding of IA5String for use in LDAP is simply the characters of the string itself. The equality matching rule is case insensitive, as is today's DNS. 3.5 description This Attribute Type contains a human-readable description of the object. ( 2.5.4.13 NAME 'description' EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15{1024} ) Dally Expires 25 August 2003 [Page 6]

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. ( 2.5.4.49 NAME 'distinguishedName' EQUALITY distinguishedNameMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.12 ) The SYNTAX oid indicates the DN syntax. 3.8 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.

( 2.5.4.44 NAME 'generationQualifier' SUP name ) 3.12 givenName The givenName Attribute Type is used to hold the part of a person's name which is not their surname nor middle name. ( 2.5.4.42 NAME 'givenName' SUP name ) 3.13 houseIdentifier This Attribute Type is used to identify a building within a location.

INTERNET-DRAFT draft-ietf-ldapbis-user-schema-04 25 February 2003 5. 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 is strongly discouraged where the underlying transport service cannot guarantee confidentiality and may result in disclosure of the password to unauthorized parties. It is required that strong authentication be performed in order to modify directory entries using LDAP. Several X.500 Attribute Types and Object Classes, such as, the userCertificate Attribute Type or the certificationAuthority Object Class, are used to include key-based security information in directory entries. The Attribute Types are: authorityRevocationList cACertificate certificateRevocationList crossCertificatePair deltaRevocationList supportedAlgorithms userCertificate The Object Classes are: certificationAuthority certificationAuthority-V2 cRLDistributionPoint strongAuthenticationUser userSecurityInformation These Attribute Types and Object Classes are specified for LDAP by the PKIX Working Group, and so, are not included in this document. It is recommended that the BNF notation in RFC 1778 [RFC1778] not be used for User Certificate, Authority Revocation List, and Certificate Pair. 6. Acknowledgements The definitions, on which this document is based, have been developed by committees for telecommunications and international standards. No new attribute definitions have been added.

INTERNET-DRAFT draft-ietf-ldapbis-user-schema-04 25 February 2003 Annex A Change Log This annex lists the changes that have been made from RFC 2256 to this I-D. Changes to RFC 2256 resulting in draft-ietf-ldapbis-user-schema-00.txt: 1. Revision of the Status of this Memo. 2. Dependencies on RFC 1274 have been eliminated. 3. The references to X.500(96) have been expressed in terms of the "edition", rather than the standard date. Note that the version of X.500 which is the basis for this document, is the third edition, which was finalized in 1996, but approved in 1997. 4. The "teletexTerminalNumber" attribute and syntax are marked as obsolete. 5. Removed "The syntax definitions are based on the ISODE "QUIPU" implementation of X.500." from section 6. 6. Added text to 6.1, the octetString syntax, in accordance with X.520. 7. Some of the attribute types MUST be recognized by servers. Also, several attributes are obsolete. Therefore, the various kinds of attribute types have been placed in separate sections: - necessary for the directory to operate (section 3.1) - for holding user information (section 3.2) - superseded or withdrawn (section 3.3). 8. Since "top" may be implicitly specified and "alias" is not abstract, the last sentence in the description of the "objectClass" attribute type, section 3.1.1, has been deleted. The clause that preceded the deleted sentence has been removed, also. 9. Add a description to the definition of the "telephoneNumber" attribute type, section 3.2.17. 10. Add text to mark the "teletexTerminalIdentifier" attribute type as obsolete. Dally Expires 25 August 2003 [Page 23]

Reorganized Section 3, Attributes, to eliminate grouping attributes according to conformance requirements. Reordered Section 3, Attributes, and Section 4, Object Classes, alphabetically. 20. Added an explanation for each object class. Changes to draft-ietf-ldapbis-user-schema-01.txt, resulting in draft- ietf-ldapbis-user-schema-02.txt: 21. Removed the certificate-related Attribute Types: authorityRevocationList, cACertificate, certificateRevocationList, crossCertificatePair, deltaRevocationList, supportedAlgorithms, and userCertificate.
