+
+Abstract
+
+ This document defines a multipurpose internet mail extensions (MIME)
+ directory profile for holding a lightweight directory access protocol
+ (LDAP) schema. It is intended for communication with the Internet
+ schema listing service.
+
+ 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 [4].
+
+1. Overview
+
+ This document defines how a MIME type may be used to transfer a
+ single LDAPv3 schema definition.
+
+ A schema for use with LDAPv3 consists of any number of object class,
+ attribute type, matching rule and syntax definitions. These concepts
+ are defined in the LDAPv3 protocol definition [2]. The schema MAY
+ have a numeric OID assigned to it by a schema listing or registration
+ service.
+
+ A schema may import definitions from another schema. Schema imports
+ are not, however, transitive.
+
+ For example, a schema contains a definition for a "modem" object
+ class, which is to be defined as a subclass of the X.521 "device"
+ object class. In this case, the schema MUST import the definitions
+ of X.521.

+
+
+2. The "schema-ldap-0" MIME Directory Profile Registration
+
+ This profile is identified by the following registration template
+ information.
+
+ To: ietf-mime-direct@imc.org
+ Subject: Registration of text/directory MIME profile "schema-ldap-0"
+
+ Profile name: schema-ldap-0
+
+ Profile purpose: To represent a schema defined for use with LDAPv3
+ servers.
+
+ Profile types: SOURCE, ldapSchemas, attributeTypes, matchingRules,
+ objectClasses, matchingRuleUse, ldapSyntaxes
+
+ Profile special notes:
+
+ The charset parameter MUST be present on the MIME content, and the
+ value of this parameter MUST be "utf-8". This ensures that schema
+ values can be used in LDAPv3 attribute values without a character set
+ translation.
+
+ Neither the "BEGIN" and "END" types nor type grouping are used in
+ contents of this profile.
+
+ All of the types in this profile with the exception of ldapSchemas
+ may be multi-valued. Each value is present on its own contentline.
+ Values may be present in any order, and need not be arranged by type.
+
+ The "SOURCE" type is optional, and if values are present they SHOULD
+ be URIs of the "ldap" form. If the URI is of the "ldap" form, the
+ object indicated by the URI is a subschema entry. The use of other
+ forms are reserved for future applications.
+
+ In this version of the profile, exactly one value of the ldapSchemas
+ type MUST be present. (Later versions of the profile may permit
+ multiple ldapSchemas values to be present in a content.)
+
+ Implementors should note that there will likely be values of the
+ profile types in most contents much longer than 76 bytes. In
+ addition, there may be non-ASCII characters and embedded CRLFs inside
+ of values, which could require either quoting of the value or use of
+ a content transfer encoding.
+
+

+RFC 2927 MIME Directory Profile for LDAP Schema September 2000
+
+
+ If a contentline in a particular content contains a "context"
+ parameter and the value of that parameter is not "ldap", then that
+ contentline SHOULD be ignored.
+
+ Intended usage: COMMON
+
+3. MIME Directory Type Registrations
+
+ This document defines all the types, with the exception of "SOURCE"
+ used in the schema-ldap-0 profile. The "SOURCE" type is defined in
+ [1]. These types are primarily intended for use in the "schema-
+ ldap-0" directory profile, although they may be applicable to other
+ profiles defined in the future.
+
+3.1. ldapSchemas
+
+ To: ietf-mime-direct@imc.org
+ Subject: Registration of text/directory MIME type ldapSchemas

+ Type valuetype: text, encoded according to the BNF of section A.2.
+
+ Type special notes: Each value of this type specifies the contents of
+ an LDAP schema definition. A definition of each object class,
+ attribute, matching rule, matching rule use and syntax referenced in
+ a value of ldapSchemas MUST either be defined in one of the schemas
+ referenced in the "IMPORTS" field, or present in the content
+ containing this value.
+
+ Intended usage: COMMON
+
+3.2. attributeTypes
+
+ To: ietf-mime-direct@imc.org

+
+
+ Type valuetype: text, encoded according to the BNF of
+ "AttributeTypeDescription" given in section 4.2 of [4].
+
+ Type special notes: Each value of the type specifies one LDAPv3
+ attribute type definition. The syntax and matching rules referenced
+ in a value of attributeTypes MUST either be present in this content,
+ or defined in one of the schemas referenced in the "IMPORTS" field of
+ the ldapSchemas line.
+
+ Intended usage: COMMON
+
+3.3. matchingRules
+
+ To: ietf-mime-direct@imc.org
+ Subject: Registration of text/directory MIME type matchingRules
+
+ Type name: matchingRules
+
+ Type purpose: To represent the LDAPv3 attribute "matchingRules",
+ defined in section 5.1.8 of [4].
+
+ Type encoding: 8bit
+
+ Type valuetype: text, encoded according to the BNF of
+ "MatchingRuleDescription" given in section 4.5 of [4].
+
+ Type special notes: Each value of the type specifies one matching
+ rule definition. The syntax reference in a value of matchingRules
+ MUST either be present in this content, or defined in one of the
+ schemas referenced in the "IMPORTS" field of the ldapSchemas line.
+
+ Intended usage: COMMON
+
+3.4. objectClasses
+
+ To: ietf-mime-direct@imc.org

+
+RFC 2927 MIME Directory Profile for LDAP Schema September 2000
+
+
+ Type special notes: Each value of the type specifies one LDAPv3
+ object class definition. The attributes and object classes
+ referenced in a value of objectClasses MUST either be present in this
+ content, or defined in one of the schema referenced in the "IMPORTS"
+ field of the ldapSchemas line.
+
+ Intended usage: COMMON
+
+3.5. matchingRuleUse
+
+ To: ietf-mime-direct@imc.org
+ Subject: Registration of text/directory MIME type matchingRuleUse
+
+ Type name: matchingRuleUse
+
+ Type purpose: To represent the LDAPv3 attribute "matchingRuleUse",
+ defined in section 5.1.9 of [4].
+
+ Type encoding: 8bit
+
+ Type valuetype: text, encoded according to the BNF of
+ "MatchingRuleUseDescription" given in section 4.5 of [4].
+
+ Type special notes: Each value of the type specifies a relationship
+ between a matching rule and attribute types. The matching rule and
+ attribute types referenced in a value of matchingRuleUse MUST either
+ be present in this content, or defined in one of the schemas
+ referenced in the "IMPORTS" statement of the ldapSchemas line.

+3. Example
+
+ From: Whomever@wherever.com
+ To: Someone@somewhere.com
+ Subject: schema information
+ MIME-Version: 1.0
+ Message-Id: <ids1@wherever.com>
+ Content-Type: text/directory; profile="schema-ldap-0";charset="utf-8"
+ Content-Transfer-Encoding: Quoted-Printable
+ ldapSchemas: ( 1.2.3.4 NAME 'bogus schema' CLASSES ( top $ thing ) =
+ ATTRIBUTES ( objectClass $ name ) SYNTAXES ( =
+ 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.38 $ 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 ) )
+ attributeTypes: ( 2.5.4.0 NAME 'objectClass' SYNTAX =
+ 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.38 )
+ objectClasses: ( 2.5.6.0 NAME 'top' ABSTRACT MUST objectClass )
+ attributeTypes: ( 2.5.4.41 NAME 'name' SYNTAX =
+ 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15{32768} )
+ objectClasses: ( 2.5.6.999 NAME 'thing' MUST name )
+ ldapSyntaxes: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 DESC 'String' )
+ ldapSyntaxes: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.38 DESC 'OID' )
+
+4. Security Considerations
+
+ A MIME body part containing an text/directory of the schema-ldap-0
+ profile may be incorporated in a digitally signed MIME content, which
+ can be used to verify that the body part has not been modified in
+ transit. When the signer has been certified by a trusted third party
+ service, it may also be possible to verify the origin of the content.

+
+Appendix A
+
+ This appendix defines two new attributes which could be present in an
+ subschema entry. These attributes could be added to a future
+ revision of the LDAP attribute definition [3].
+
+A.1. ldapSchemas attribute type definition
+
+ ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.101.120.17 NAME 'ldapSchemas'
+ SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.56 USAGE directoryOperation )
+
+ Each value of the ldapSchemas attribute defines one schema. Its
+ syntax, given in section A.2, contains the elements needed for an
+ LDAPv3 server to correctly process operations which use the
+ definitions from this syntax.
+
+A.2. LDAP Schema Definition syntax definition
+
+ ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.56 DESC 'LDAP Schema Definition' )
+
+ Values in this syntax are represented according to the following BNF:
+
+ LdapSchema = "(" whsp
+ numericoid whsp
+ [ "NAME" qdescrs ]
+ [ "OBSOLETE" whsp ]
+ [ "IMPORTS" oids ]
+ [ "CLASSES" oids ]
+ [ "ATTRIBUTES" oids ]
+ [ "MATCHING-RULES" oids ]
+ [ "SYNTAXES" oids ]
+ whsp ")"
+
+ The numericoid field uniquely identifies the schema. A new OID
+ should be assigned if any of the fields of the schema change. It is
+ not possible to import definitions from a schema until an OID has
+ been assigned to it.
+
+ The "NAME" field contains optional human-readable labels for the
+ schema.
+
+ The "OBSOLETE" field is present if the schema is obsolete.
+
+ The "IMPORTS" field lists the OIDs of other schemas which are to be
+ incorporated by reference into this schema. It is an error to have
+ an attribute type or object class defined in a schema with the same
+ name but a different OID as an attribute type or object class in an
+
+
+
+
+Wahl Informational [Page 8]
+
+RFC 2927 MIME Directory Profile for LDAP Schema September 2000
+
+
+ imported schema. It is also an error to import from two schema
+ definitions in which there are attribute types or object classes with
+ the same names but different OIDs.
+
+ The "CLASSES" field lists the OIDs of object classes defined in this
+ schema. A schema need not contain any object class definitions. A
+ schema must not contain two object class definitions of the same name
+ but with different OIDs.
+
+ The "ATTRIBUTES" field lists the OIDs of attribute types defined in
+ this schema. A schema need not contain any object class definitions.
+ A schema must not contain two attribute type definitions of the same
+ name but with different OIDs.
+
+ The "MATCHING-RULES" field lists the OIDs of matching rules defined
+ in this schema. A schema need not contain any matching rules.
+
+ The "SYNTAXES" field lists the OIDs of syntaxes defined in this
+ schema. A schema need not contain any syntaxes.
