Network Working Group A. GetchellRequest for Comments: 1632 Lawrence Livermore National LaboratoryFYI: 11 S. SataluriObsoletes:1292 AT&T Bell LaboratoriesCategory: Informational Editors May 1994A Revised Catalog of Available X.500 ImplementationsStatus 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 ofRFC 1292. We contacted each contributor inRFC 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.IDS Working Group [Page 1]
RFC 1632 X.500 Catalog May 1994Section 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 OverviewSection 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 1994Section 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 ofRFC 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.IDS Working Group [Page 3]

RFC 1632 X.500 Catalog Bull S.A.NAME X500-DS X500-DUA Bull S.A.KEYWORDS API, Bull, CLNS, Commercially Available, DSA/DUA, OSI Transport,RFC-1006, X.25ABSTRACT 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, - The OSI standard protocols (ASN.1, ROSE, ACSE, Presentation and Session) for communication with the distant DSAs. The interface with the low layers of the stack being XTI.RFC-1006 is supported under XTI or the Session, - A DUA Cache to improve performances when accessing remote DSAs, - A management application for configuration of the product, controlling the operations and managing logs and traces, - A user application for the manipulations of the database entries. The X500-DS package contains: - All components of the X500-DUA, - A core DSA to process all requests received from distant DUAs through DAP protocol or from distant DSAs through DSP protocol. It supports the referral, chained and multi-casting modes of operation, access control lists, simple authentication, management of knowledge information (for distribution, shadows and copies of sub-trees),IDS Working Group [Page 17]
RFC 1632 X.500 Catalog Bull S.A. - A management application for managing the schema information (creation, deletion and modification of object classes and of attribute types, management of the rules of the DIT), - A C-ISAM database.COMPLIANCE (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs) Compliant with EWOS and OIW Agreements Strong authentication in X.509 is not yet implemented. (Password scheme is currently used.) Consists of both DUA and DSA implementation according to the 88 CCITT X.500 and ISO 9594 standard. The X/Open standard XDS and XOM interface libraries are also provided. When the product is installed with the DCE environment, XDS and XOM interfaces are also used to access DCE/CDS (Local Cell Directory Service) transparently. A GDA (Global Directory Agent) serves then as the gateway between the DCE CDS and GDS. It is planned to support full 1992 extensions in the products for 1995.CONFORMANCE WITH PROPOSED INTERNET STANDARDS [No information provided--Ed.]CONSISTENCE WITH INFORMATIONAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RFCs [No information provided--Ed.]INTEROPERABILITY This implementation of DAP and DSP can interoperate with other X.500 implementations from other Cebit demo participants including IBM, HP, ICL, Siemens-Nixdorf, etc. It also interoperates with ISODE QUIPU.PILOT CONNECTIVITY [No information provided--Ed.]BUGS [No information provided--Ed.]IDS Working Group [Page 18]

RFC 1632 X.500 Catalog CustosNAME Custos National Institute of Standards and TechnologyKEYWORDS API, Available via FTP, DSA/DUA, Free, Limited Functionality, Multiple Vendor Platforms, Needs ISODE, OSI Transport,RFC-1006, Sun, UNIXABSTRACT 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: - Search request decomposition - Modify Entry operation - Modify RDN operation - Abandon operation - Strong Authentication - Schema checkingIDS Working Group [Page 23]

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 inRFC1292. 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.COMPLIANCE (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs) N/AIDS Working Group [Page 26]

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.

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.IDS Working Group [Page 48]

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.

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/DSIDS 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.

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.IDS Working Group [Page 76]
