+
+ 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.
+
+
+
+IDS Working Group [Page 2]
+
+RFC 1632 X.500 Catalog May 1994
+
+
+ Section 3 contains the X.500 implementation descriptions.
+
+ Section 4 has a list of references.
+
+ Section 6 lists the editors' addresses.
+
+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.
+
+
+2.1.1 Availability
+
+
+ Available via FTP
+ Implementation is available using FTP.
+
+ Commercially Available
+ This implementation can be purchased.
+
+ Free
+ Available at no charge, although other restrictions may apply.
+
+ Limited Availability
+ Need to contact provider for terms and conditions of
+ distribution.

+NAME
+
+ X500-DS
+ X500-DUA
+ Bull S.A.
+
+
+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,

+
+ API, Available via FTP, DSA/DUA, Free, Limited Functionality,

+
+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:

+ large files should be in the area of performance. Specifically,
+ optimization requires loading parts of the DIB in core so greater

+
+
+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.

+
+
+KEYWORDS

+ Commercially Available, DS/DUA, RFC-1006, Source, Sun, X.25
+
+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

+
+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.

+
+ 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.

+
+KEYWORDS
+
+ Available via FTP, DUA Connectivity, DUA Interface, Free, LDAP,
+ Macintosh, RFC-1274,RFC-1484, RFC-1485, RFC-1487
+
+
+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.

+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.

+RFC 1632 X.500 Catalog Traxis Enterprise Directory
+
+
+NAME
+
+ Traxis Enterprise Directory
+ Angeli Systems Corporation
+
+
+KEYWORDS
+
+ API, CLNS, Commercially Available, DSA/DUA, HP, IBM PC, IBM RISC,
+ Macintosh, OSI Transport, RFC-1006, RFC-1274, Sun, X.25
+
+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.

+ RFC-1279, Sequent, Sun, Tandem, UNIX, X.25
+
+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.
