HP X.500 DISTRIBUTED DIRECTORY
Technical Data
P/N J2152A, J2153A
HP X.500 Distributed Directory is a full X.500 directory based on the
1988 CCITT X.500 standard. HP X.500 can be used for accessing names
and electronic mail addresses for multi-vendor messaging backbone
networks. HP X.500 can also be used for the development of networked
applications requiring distributed directory functionality.
Features:
Integrated with HP OpenMail: HP OpenMail terminal interface users
will be able to access the enterprise wide HP X.500 distributed
directory directly from the user interface. X.500 addresses can be
selected and automatically returned to OpenMail, simplifying the
process of mailing multivendor electronic mail.
Integrated with HP-UX Mailers: HP-UX Sendmail users can access
electronic mail addresses from an X.500 server over a TCP/IP network.
End-User Address Look-up: Easy to use X.500 interface allows users of
non-HP e-mail systems to access data stored in the X.500 Directory.
Phonetic searches allow users to find names where the spelling is
uncertain.
X.500 APIs: X/Open X.500 APIs (XDS and XOM) are included with the
product and allow developers to write their own X.500 based
applications. HP X.500 also supports high level APIs on top of XDS
which simplify and speed application development.
Messaging Backbone Foundation: HP X.500 works together with HP X.400
to form the foundation for a multivendor messaging backbone. Common
user interfaces and troubleshooting tools simplify the integration of
multivendor environments.
Menu Driven Administration: Full screen menu driven administration
tools simplify configuration and data retrieval.
Replication: Data Shadowing, the ability to automatically replicate
data among groups of DSAs, allows higher performance, and easier
management of the database in a global environment.
Security: Access control prevents unauthorized users from obtaining
and manipulating secured directory data.
Interoperability and Troubleshooting Tools: HP provides a full set of
tools to help simplify the interoperability and troubleshooting
process. HP's OSI tools allow the network administrator to check the
interoperability of the network at various layers of the OSI stack,
isolating problems quickly and easily.
Complete DUA and DSA: HP X.500 includes a complete multi-threaded
Directory User Agent (DUA) and Directory Server Agent (DSA). The
X.500 Directory Information Base (DIB) is built on a database which
has been optimized for X.500 performance. HP X.500 contains full
support for Directory Access Protocol (DAP) and Directory Server
Protocol (DSP).
Object Classes: All X.500 and 1988-X.400 object classes and
attributes are supported. User defined object classes and attributes
are fully supported.
Configurable Schema: HP X.500 supports the creation and modification
of subclasses and DIT hierarchy.
Functional Description
HP X.500 is a distributed database which is based on the client server
model. The Directory User Agent (DUA) acts as the client while the
Directory Server Agent (DSA) is the server. The DUA can reside on the
same computer as the DSA or can access a DSA remotely.
The DSA is the place where data is held. Because X.500 is a
distributed directory, data can be partitioned and shared between
multiple DSAs. Each DSA can contain a portion of the directory or the
entire directory.
HP X.500 supports distributed directory operations which include
chaining, multi-casting and referral.
Applications can be developed on top of the DUA using industry
standard (X/Open) XOM and XDS APIs. Administration screens allow
configuration and data manipulation through the DUA.
The End-user address look-up facility allows X.500 data to be accessed
from a TCP/IP network. This facility is also integrated with the HP
OpenMail Electronic Mail software.
Conformance
HP X.500 complies with the following standards: CCITT Directory
Recommendation X.500 to X.521; ISO/IEC 9504-1, 9594-2, 9594-3, 9594-4,
9594-5, 9594-6, 9594-7, 9594-8; HP will be conformant to NIST and EWOS
directory functional profiles.
Installation and Support Policy
HP X.500 Distributed Directory Software is customer installable and
configurable. Installation and configuration can also be performed by
HP through the purchase of consulting services. Interoperability
testing can also be purchased from Hewlett-Packard on a time and
material basis.
