+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.

+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.

+
+
+   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

+   defined in section A.1.
+
+   Type encoding: 8bit
+
+   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

+
+
+   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

+   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

+   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.

+   Subject: schema information
+   MIME-Version: 1.0
+   Message-Id: <ids1@wherever.com>
+   Content-Type: text/directory; profile="schema-ldap-0";charset="utf-8"

+   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
+

+
+
+   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.
