                    X.500 Implementations Catalog-96

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 a revision to [RFC 1632]: A Revised Catalog of
   Available X.500 Implementations and is based on the results of data
   collection via a WWW home page that enabled implementors to submit
   new or updated descriptions of currently available implementations of
   X.500, including commercial products and openly available offerings.
   [RFC 1632] is a revision of [RFC 1292].  We contacted each
   contributor to [RFC 1632] to request an update and published the URL
   of the WWW home page survey template in several mailing lists to
   encourage the submission of new product descriptions.

   This document contains detailed description of 31 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.

   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 publishing a URL for a set of on-line
   description forms deployed on the WWW as a home page on an InterNIC
   server. This URL

   (http://www.internic.net/projects/x500catalog/catalogtop.html) was
   advertised on the following directory-related mailing lists:
   [e-mail], [e-mail], [e-mail],
   [e-mail], [e-mail], [e-mail],
   [e-mail], and [e-mail].

   Readers are encouraged to submit comments regarding both the forms
   and content of this memo.  New submissions are welcome.  Please
   direct input to the Integrated Directory Services (IDS) Working Group
   ([e-mail]) or to the authors.  IDS will produce new
   versions of this document when a significant number of substantive
   comments have been received or when significant updates and/or
   modifications to X.500-related standards documents have been
   ratified.  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 cannot guarantee the accuracy
   or completeness of the descriptions, nor the stability of the
   implementations.

1.4  Overview

   Section 1 contains introductory information.

   Section 2 contains a list of keywords, their definitions, a cross
   reference of the X.500 implementations by these keywords and a table
   containing implementor name, implementor abreviation, and the page of
   this document on which the description begins for a particular
   implementor.

   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 1632], Linda
   Millington and Sri Sataluri who graciously contributed the nroff
   source file used to structure their version of the catalog.

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.

      Support for the DAP protocol

   DSP

      Support for the DSP protocol

   DISP

      Support for the DISP protocol

   DOP

2.1.3  Conformance with Proposed Internet Standards

   These RFCs specify standards track protocols for the Internet
   community.  Implementations which conform to these evolving proposed
   standards have a higher probability of interoperating with other
   implementations deployed on the Internet.
