- A Revised Catalog of Available X.500 Implementations
-
- Status of this Memo
-
- 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 the result of a survey that gathered new or updated
- descriptions of currently available implementations of X.500,
- including commercial products and openly available offerings. This
- document is a revision of RFC 1292. We contacted each contributor in
- RFC 1292 and requested an update and published the survey template in
- several mailing lists and obtained new product descriptions.
-
- This document contains detailed description of twenty six (26) 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.

- RFC 1632 X.500 Catalog May 1994
-
-
- 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 surveying several Internet mailing lists,
- including: iso@nic.ddn.mil, isode@nic.ddn.mil, osi-ds@cs.ucl.ac.uk,
- and ietf-ids@umich.edu. We also contacted many people by telephone
- and sent the template to several individuals and mailed a floppy disk
- containing the survey template to a person who did not have Internet
- access.
-
- Readers are encouraged to submit comments regarding both the form 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 editors. IDS will produce new ver-
- sions of this document when a sufficient number of changes have been
- received. 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 can not guarantee the accuracy
- or completeness of the descriptions, or the stability of the
- implementations.
-
- 1.4 Overview
-
- Section 1 contains introductory information.
-
- Section 2 contains a list of keywords, their definitions, and a cross
- reference of the X.500 implementations by these keywords.

-
- 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 1292, Ruth Lang and
- Russ Wright who helped us get started and made key suggestions that
- enabled us to learn from their experience. We also acknowledge and
- appreciate the efforts of Ken Rossen in obtaining six descriptions.
-
- 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.
-

-
- KEYWORDS
-
- API, Bull, CLNS, Commercially Available, DSA/DUA, OSI Transport,
- RFC-1006, X.25
-
- 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, these two products may
- be installed and used without DCE environment. 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 protocols (ASN.1, ROSE, ACSE, Presentation and
- Session) for communication with the distant DSAs. The interface
- with the low layers of the stack being XTI. RFC-1006 is supported
- under XTI or the Session,
- - A DUA Cache to improve performances when accessing remote DSAs,
- - A management application for configuration of the product,
- controlling the operations and managing logs and traces,
- - A user application for the manipulations of the database entries.
-
-
- The X500-DS package contains:
-

-
- ABSTRACT
-
- The implementation consists of a set DUA library routines, a terminal
- interface, and a DSA. The implementation was developed in C on Sun
- SPARCstations under SunOS 4.1.1. All underlying services are provided
- by the ISODE development package. The development package is also
- used for encoding and decoding ASN.1 data as well as for other data
- manipulation services. Using the ISODE package the implementation can
- be run over both TCP/IP and OSI protocols.
-
- The DSA provides full support for both DAP and DSP protocols,
- conformant with ISO 9594 / CCITT X.500 standards. The DIB is
- maintained using a locally developed relational database system. The
- interface to the database system consists of a set of sql-like C
- functions. These are designed to allow straightforward replacement
- of the local database system with a more powerful commercial system.
- To achieve better performance several options are supported that
- permit loading of selected portions of the database in core. When
- these options are selected data can be retrieved more quickly from in
- core tables; all modifications to the DIB are directly reflected in
- the in core tables and the database.
-
- COMPLIANCE (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs)
-
- Custos is fully compliant with the 1988 Standard with the following
- omissions:
-
- - Search request decomposition
- - Modify Entry operation
- - Modify RDN operation
- - Abandon operation
- - Strong Authentication
- - Schema checking

-
- CAVEATS and GENERAL LIMITATIONS
-
- No limitations on file sizes, etc. The only side effects to creating
- large files should be in the area of performance. Specifically,
- optimization requires loading parts of the DIB in core so greater
- memory requirements will be necessary for achieving better
- performance with a large database. Any platform the implementation
- can be ported to (generally any platform ISODE can be ported to)
- should support all features.
-
- INTERNETWORKING ENVIRONMENT

-
- HARDWARE PLATFORMS

- locally developed relational DBMS that should be easily replaceable
- with commercially available relational systems.
-
- AVAILABILITY
-
- Custos, the NIST implementation of X.500, the OSI Directory, is
- available for anonymous ftp from osi.ncsl.nist.gov (129.6.48.100)

- file.
-
- ./pub/directory/CustosRel_0.2.tar
- ./pub/directory/CustosRel_0.2.tar.Z
-
- Note: permissions on the directory ./pub/directory are set so that
- you will be able to "get" files whose names you can provide. However,
- you will not be able to "ls" the contents of the directory.

- 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.
-
- A lot of development has been done on the interface since it was
- first described in RFC1292. The most significant enhancement has
- been to add power searching - 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
- now provides UFN style searching. It is now possible to search
- locality entries. DE now 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. An experimental feature is intended to give the
- user more feedback on the likely response time to a query - DE
- 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
- 128.86.8.56 and logging in as dua -- no password required.

-
- ABSTRACT
-
- Directory 500 (D500) is a comprehensive implementation of the CCITT
- X.500 recommendations. D500 is comprised of two major components
- which are responsible for manipulating the data in the OSI Directory.
- They are the Directory User Agent (DUA) and the Directory System
- Agent (DSA).
-
- The DUA is the interface between the OSI Directory and those users
- wishing access to the Directory's information. Users make their
- requests through the DUA. When forwarding user's requests to the OSI
- Directory, the protocol used is known as the Directory Access
- Protocol (DAP).
-
- The DSA will negotiate with other, remote DSAs to obtain requested
- information or to update remote DIBs. DSAs use the Directory System
- Protocol (DSP) to forward and answer these requests. The DSA supports
- chaining and referrals.
-
- COMPLIANCE (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs)
-
- All X.500 1988 operations are supported along with all Object Classes
- specified in X.521 and all Attribute Types specified in X.520.
-
- Implementation plans include upgrades to support the 1992 extensions
- to X.500 in 1994. Please check with OSIware / Infonet Software
- Solutions for availability dates.

- ABSTRACT
-
- DOS-DE (DOS Directory Enquiries) is intended to be a simple-to-use
- DUA interface suitable for the naive user. It is an MS-DOS port of
- the standard UNIX DE implementation - see the entry on DE for full
- details. (All of the features DE are supported apart from the
- experimental `Quality of Service' code).
-
- 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. `Power searching' is
- also available - 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. DOS-DE provides UFN
- style searching. It is also possible to search locality entries.
- DOS-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.
-
- DOS-DE runs over the University of Michigan LDAP.
-
- DE was funded by the COSINE PARADISE project. DOS-DE was developed
- by Andy Powell at the University of Bath.

- ABSTRACT
-
- LDAP is the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. It gives X.500
- access to platforms that have only TCP/IP access, using simplified
- BER encoding of many X.500 data elements. LDAP is currently a
- proposed Internet Standard. The LDAP server is an intermediate
- protocol server that communicates with Internet clients on one side
- using the simple TCP-based LDAP protocol and an X.500 DSA on the
- other side using the Directory Access Protocol (DAP). A subset of
- the X.500 DAP is exported to the clients through the LDAP protocol.
-
- The U-M LDAP distribution contains the following components:
-
- - LDAP server
- - LDAP client library, including both synchronous and asynchronous APIs
- - Lightweight BER library, including an API that supports
- a printf/scanf-like interface
- - Various LDAP client programs, including a finger daemon (xfingerd),
- gopher to X.500 gateway (go500gw), command-line DUA (ud), e-mail
- query server (rcpt500), and an X.500 mailer (mail500)
-
-
- COMPLIANCE (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.

- Preliminary support is included for [RFC 1484].
-
- INTEROPERABILITY
-
- The current implementation of the LDAP server is known to work with
- the QUIPU DSA and DAP library.
-
- PILOT CONNECTIVITY
-
- DUA connectivity should be possible to all pilots, though only
- AARNET, PARADISE, and PSI White Pages Project have actually been
- tried.
-
- 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 LDAP server is known to run on Sun 3 and Sun 4 platforms DEC's,
- HP's, and RS 6000's. The LDAP client libraries and some clients have
- been ported to the Macintosh and the PC.
-
- SOFTWARE PLATFORMS
-
- The LDAP server and clients are known to run under and SunOS 4.1.x,
- ULTRIX, HP-UX, and AIX. The LDAP client libraries also work under
- Macintosh System 6.0 or higher and MS-DOS 5.0.

- ABSTRACT
-
- maX.500 is a Directory User Agent for Apple Macintosh. It is
- currently at version 2.0, which uses the Lightweight Directory Access
- Protocol (LDAP) over TCP/IP to access The Directory. maX.500 can be
- used to search for, view, create, delete, and modify entries. It
- supports viewing of textual information, playing of audio, and
- viewing of black and white (fax) and color (JPEG) images.
-
- maX.500 is a native Macintosh application, and as such has a friendly
- interface. It requires System Software version 6.0.5 or later and
- Apple's MacTCP control panel.
-
- COMPLIANCE (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs)
-
- maX.500 works over LDAP, and is subject to LDAP's limitations. The
- X.500 bind, search, compare, add, delete, abandon, and modify
- operations are used by maX.500. Size and time limits may be
- specified, as may alias dereferencing and searching.
-
- CONFORMANCE WITH PROPOSED INTERNET STANDARDS
-
- Compliant with [RFC 1485], [RFC 1487], and [RFC 1274].
-
- CONSISTENCE WITH INFORMATIONAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RFCs
-
- Preliminary support is included for [RFC 1484] (same as U-M LDAP).
-
- INTEROPERABILITY
-
- maX.500 2.0 is known to work with the U-M LDAP server. It has been
- used successfully with the QUIPU DSA and others.
-
- PILOT CONNECTIVITY
-
- DUA connectivity should be possible to all pilots, though only
- AARNET, PARADISE, and PSI White Pages Project have actually been
- tried.

- or "audio" attributes. Modify RDN is also unsupported.
-
- 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 is required on
- the Macintosh.
-

- ABSTRACT
-
- This implementation is a source release derived from the earlier
- openly available version of QUIPU, and will be used as base
- technology for products by a number of vendors. The release comprises
- of a DSA, and a number of sample DUAs which may be used in
- conjunction with the DSA.
-
- COMPLIANCE (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs)
-
- The DSA is aligned to the 1988 ISO IS and the NIST OIW Directory
- Implementors Guide Version 1, with the following exceptions:
-
- - Strong authentication is not implemented (but hooks are
- provided for use with two packages).
- - QUIPU does not enforce the bounds constraints on attributes,
- filters or APDU size.
- - T.61 string formatting characters are not rejected.
- - If a DN is supplied with no password in an unprotected simple bind,
- QUIPU does not always check to see if the DN exists. If the DSA
- connected to can say authoritatively the DN does not exist, the
- association is rejected. However, if a chain operation is required
- to check the DN, the bind IS allowed.
- - When comparing attributes of UTCtime syntax, if the seconds field
- is omitted, QUIPU does not perform the match correctly (i.e., the
- seconds field in the attribute values should be ignored, but are
- not).
- - QUIPU always supplies the optional Chaining argument
- "originator" even if the CommonArgument "requestor" is used.
- - QUIPU always supplies the optional Chaining argument "target"
- even if the base object in the DAP arguments is the same.
- - The object class "without an assigned object identifier" is
- not recognised unless the "alias" object class is also present.
- - Non Specific Subordinate References are never followed by a QUIPU
- DSA, but they are passed on correctly to the client if generated.

- ABSTRACT
-
- The Traxis Enterprise Directory has multiple components in a three
- layer architecture. The individual components of the Traxis family
- are building blocks which can be assembled in a flexible, modular way
- to build complex systems.
-
- At the enterprise level, is a distributed directory stored and
- managed by Traxis Directory Engines (TDEs). At the workgroup level
- Traxis Directory Hubs (TDHs) provide the means to integrate and
- connect Traxis Directory Engines to the wide variety of real world
- applications and systems which prevail in network environments. The
- TDE and the TDH support the myriad of client applications, including
- messaging and business applications, which require services from the
- Traxis directory.
-
- At the desktop level, the Traxis Desktop Client (TDC) provides a
- common set of facilities which simplify and enable communications,
- object manipulation, and results management as required between the
- Traxis Directory Hub and applications. These capabilities, which
- include full access and management of the directory, are provided to
- applications through XDS++, the Traxis object oriented API. The
- Traxis Desktop Client also supports industry standard client software
- interfaces such as Microsoft MAPI, Apple OCE, CMC and VIM, through
- Compatibility Modules which map the standard API into XDS++. Through
- these APIs the Traxis Desktop Client supports applications of all
- kinds on PC, Macintosh, and UNIX systems.
-
- Angeli supplied Traxis applications include the Traxis Administrative
- Console management station, the Traxis Global Browser general
- directory tool, the Traxis Operator Assistance high-speed look-up,
- the Traxis Data Base Gateway, the Traxis Import Export Utility and
- more.
-
- The Traxis Directory Engine includes an X.500 DSA. The Traxis
- Directory Hub includes an X.500 DUA.

-
- ABSTRACT
-
- UCOM.X 500 includes a Directory System Agent (DSA), various directory
- access APIs and Directory User Agents (DUAs). UCOM.X 500 is a product
- based on PIZARRO, the research prototype developed at INRIA by
- Christian Huitema's team, and commercialized by TS-E3X, 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.
- - 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
- UCOM.X 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 are being tested operationally through TS-E3X's
- participation in PASSWORD, a VALUE project with aim to pilot a
- European security infrastructure for network applications.
- - Access control: private mechanisms are provided to allow access
- control lists to be specified for parts of the DIT, to control
- modifications, and to specify access restrictions on attributes.
- - Management: a UCOM.X DSA object has been defined to allow
- operational parameters of the DSA to be managed via DAP.
- Administration utilities are provided to, e.g., generate usage
- statistics and periodically update the database from various data
- sources including a knowledge discovery tool.
-
-
- The product offers a C language API conformant to X/Open's X/DS
-
-
-
- IDS Working Group [Page 74]
-
- RFC 1632 X.500 Catalog UCOM.X 500
-
-
- specification, and a C++ API (for release 10/93).
-
- The DUAs include a graphical directory browser with powerful search
- functionality for OpenLook and Motif, and a full-screen curses-based
- interface with full DAP functionality.
-
- TS-E3X's strategy for UCOM.X500 is three-fold: Firstly, to use it as
- the directory service for Spheris, France Telecom's range of
- electronic mail products based on X.400 (88) (release mid '94).
- Secondly, to offer it to third parties developing specific
- applications using X.500: current applications include a distributed
- application to control document transfer in a large French hospital
- and distributed applications management in the French Post Office;
- planned uses include office applications for control of document
- circulation (workflow) and cooperative document editing. Thirdly, to
- offer it to telecomms operators such as France Telecom for
- application in network management. UCOM.X 500 is used extensively by
- French research centers involved in PARADISE.
-
- COMPLIANCE (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs)
-
- UCOM.X 500 conforms to X.500 (88) as specified in paragraph 9 of
- X.519.
-
- Development of the product based on X.500 (93) is planned for '94
- with release of a product conformant to the principal extensions at
- the end of '94. Emphasis is being placed on the shadowing protocol,
- the schema and access control.
-
- CONFORMANCE WITH PROPOSED INTERNET STANDARDS
-
- The COSINE and Internet Schema (RFC 1274) is supported with minor
- exceptions.
-
- The string representation of PSAPs and their internal encoding
- conforms to RFC 1277.
-
- The string representation of DNs will migrate to the Internet RFC
- 1485 definition.
-
- CONSISTENCE WITH INFORMATIONAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RFCs
-
- RFC 1279 (X.500 and Domains) is supported. The string representation
- of PSAPs and their internal encoding conforms to RFC 1278.
-
- AFRO (algorithme francais de recherche optimise), the search / name
- resolution algorithm proposed by UCOM.X 500, differs from the UFN
- algorithm principally in that it attempts to optimize by performing
-
-
-
- IDS Working Group [Page 75]
-
- RFC 1632 X.500 Catalog UCOM.X 500
-
-
- read operations before resorting to searches in order to exploit the
- name error information.
-
- INTEROPERABILITY
-
- Through UCOM.X 500's use in the French PARADISE pilot,
- interoperability has been informally but extensively tested with
- Quipu and other implementations.
-
- Detailed interoperability tests with Quipu, Marben and Siemens/Bull
- DIR/X are being conducted by the PARADISE OIFP (Operational
- Interworking) team at INRIA Rocquencourt, France.
-
- The product is currently also undergoing formal tests for
- conformance to the CTS2 DSA/DAP and ACSE/Presentation/Session
- specifications at the French OSI conformance test centre.
-
-
- PILOT CONNECTIVITY
-
- DSA and DUA connectivity to the PARADISE pilot.
-
- BUGS
-
- UCOM.X 500 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 1 kb per node,
- i.e., 10 Mb for a database of 10,000 objects. The current recommended
- maximum is a database size of the order of 100,000 objects.
-
- 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.
-
- The X/DS API supports the Basic Directory Contents (BDCP), the MHS
- Directory User (MDUP) and the Strong Authentication (SAP) packages
- with minor limitations. A proprietary mechanism for defining new
- classes and attributes is offered. Asynchronous operations and
- multiple concurrent sessions are not supported. Whilst referral may
- be handled automatically, continuation references are not.

-
- - Passing of user address information to the XT-MUA X.400 user agent.
- - History - allowing quick access to previously referenced parts of
- the DIT.
- - Customizable entry display - allowing subsets of attributes be
- displayed when showing an entry.
- - User Friendly Name (UFN) based searching
- - Hypertext-like navigation.
- - Support for application entities e.g. startup of ftam session.
- - User defined name for attribute labels.
- - Support for photo and audio attributes.
- - Attribute value on scanline.
- - Intelligent choice of entries to display when moving to a new
- location in the DIT.
-
-
- Management features include:
-
- - Creation of new entries.
