Wahl +Request for Comments: 2927 Sun Microsystems, Inc. +Category: Informational September 2000 + + + MIME Directory Profile for LDAP Schema + +Status of this Memo + + This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does + not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this + memo is unlimited. + +Copyright Notice + + Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2000). All Rights Reserved. + +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. + + + + + +Wahl Informational [Page 1] + +RFC 2927 MIME Directory Profile for LDAP Schema September 2000 + + +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. + + + + + + + +Wahl Informational [Page 2] + +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.
