NAME
Forum LOOK'UP (tm)
Telis Systemes & Communications
ABSTRACT
Forum LOOK'UP (tm) is a Corporate directory solution based on the
X.500 recommendations. It includes:
* a Directory System Agent (DSA),
* Directory User Agents (DUAs).
* local network connections
* remote workstation access
* a WEB and videotex access
* data updating tools
* a directory editing tool
Forum LOOK'UP is a product based on PIZARRO, the research prototype
developed at INRIA by Christian Huitema's team, and commercialized by
Telis, 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.
* As an option, an ORACLE V7 database can also be used.
* 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 Forum LOOK'UP 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 have been tested operationally through
Telis's participation in PASSWORD, a VALUE project with aim
to pilot a European security infrastructure for network
applications.
* Access control : the DSA offers a mechanism defined by Telis
that is functionally equivalent to a profile of the X500 '93
access control mechanism. The mechanism is based on the
notion of administrative domains (autonomous and semi-
autonomous). A domain defines the user groups (categories)
and their access rights (consult, modify) to specified
attribute types. The access rights are defined in
prescriptive and entry ACI attributes.
* Phonetic searches : administrators may specify a language
(English, French, ...) for a subtree of the DIT. Approximate
(phonetic) searches will then be carried out in the given
language. The software loads a rule database to which new
languages and new rules may be added easily.
* Management: a Forum LOOK'UP DSA object has been defined to
allow operational parameters of the DSA to be managed via
DAP. Forum LOOK'UP conforms to X.500 (88) as specified in
poaragraph 9 of X.519 Administration tools are provided :
* to generate usage statistics automatically and distribute
these by mail to administrators
* to replicate subtrees of the DIT to other FORUM LOOK'UP
DSAs and automatically update shadow copies,
* to extract hardcopy listings from the database in an Excel
compatible format for "paper" directories, all the
management tasks are performed through a GUI (X/Motif).
* The GUI includes a "dashboard" for monitoring of servers and
the hardware they are installed on.
* The DUAs include a graphical directory browser with powerful
search functionality for PCs and Macintosh.

DSA connectivity to the PARADISE pilot.
BUGS
Forum LOOK'UP 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 1kb per node,
i.e., 10 Mb for a database of 10,000 objects.
* The current recommended maximum for the proprietary database
(based on the Unix file system) is a database size of the order
of 100,000 objects.
* For a larger database one unique server (up to 300,000 objects),
the use of the Oracle database is recommended
* 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 [RFC1274]: OtherMailbox, MailPreferenceOption
and the various quality attributes.
INTERNETWORKING ENVIRONMENT
Forum LOOK'UP includes a transport stack for TP0 with TCP/IP [RFC
1006] and X.25. The stack has been ported to SunNet OSI for TP4 with
CLNP.
DUAs on a LAN (Novell Netware, Microsoft Lan Manager, IBM Lan Server)
can access the DSA without the need for IP on every Workstation. A
module (called SOLO server) available on Novell, OS/2 and UNIX allows
to have an IP or X.25 stack only on the file server. It is in charge
of forwarding the request to a DSA.
A direct access (DUA / DSA) through IP, X.25, PSTN or ISDN is also
available.
HARDWARE PLATFORMS
Forum LOOK'UP can easily be ported to any UNIX machine.
It currently runs on: Sun Solaris and Hewlett Packard.
A port on IBM AIX is to be completed.
SOFTWARE PLATFORMS
The Forum LOOK'UP server is portable to any UNIX-like operating
system. X/Motif is the interface used for management.
The DUAs are available on Windows and Macintosh.
ORACLE V7 can be used as a database (option).

NAME
FX*500
Firefox International Limited
ABSTRACT
FX*500 is a core component of Firefoxs product suite for mail,
messaging and directories.
FX*500 provides a Directory System Agent (DSA) which adheres to the
latest 1993 X.500 standards.
FX*500 may be used in conjunction with the Firefox FX*400 messaging
products or may be combined with a range of Directory User Agent and
Gateway products in order to satisfy a broad range of directory
requirements.
FX*500 affords unique integration opportunities with Novell's NetWare
Directory Service (NDS) by offering the option of true dynamic
directory integration between NDS and X.500.
FX*500 provides support for key features of the X.500 1993 standard
while continuing to support interworking with 1988 based directory
user agents and system agents. The main 1993 features of X.500
supported by FX*500 are:
* Basic Access Control
* The 1993 DSA Information Model
* Replication and Shadowing
In summary, FX*500 supports:
* 1988 and 1993 X.500 Directory Access Protocol (DAP)
* 1988 and 1993 X.500 Directory System Protocol (DSP)
* 1993 X.500 Directory Information Shadowing Protocol (DISP)
* 1993 Basic (or Simplified) Access Control
* the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), as defined
by [RFC1777]
* configuration of knowledge information for distributed
operation using 1993 operational attributes
* local management services, including a knowledge
configuration application and extensive diagnostic facilities
* an extended set of management applications
* operation in a wide variety of network environments including
connectivity over X.25, TCP/IP [RFC1006] and OSI LANs.
* an application developer's toolkit
The optional application developer's toolkit includes:
* the X/Open Directory Services (XDS) API to support directory
user agent applications
* a Gateway (G-XDS) API which is based on a simplified version
of the XDS API syntax and allows developers to implement
gateways to existing/ proprietary directory databases
* a Network Management Interface (NMI) to support management
applications and integration with management services.
FX*500 is delivered with a schema defined to support the Common Use
and MHS (X.402) Schemas defined by UK GOSIP V4. The subschema for
FX*500 can be modified by the customer and updated dynamically.
FX*500 provides for search optimisation by supporting keyed search
whereby specific attributes can be identified as 'keyed' through
local configuration data. This optimisation avoids the need to do a
"brute force" search which requires a traversal of all the nodes of a
subtree. Approximate match search filters are also supported by using
a phonetic search based on the "Soundex" algorithm.
COMPLIANCE with X.500-1988 (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs)
FX*500 meets both the static and dynamic requirements implied by
section 9.2 of X.519 1988.

ISODE Consortium Release 3.0 X.500(1993) Directory ISODE Consortium
Ltd.
ABSTRACT
This implementation is a source release of an X.500(1993) Directory
System Agent (DSA). It has been designed an implemented as an X.500
1993 DSA not as a 1988 DSA with '93 extensions. Emphasis has been
placed on providing support for a flexible information model, access
control, X.509 security features, and standard replication.
The 1993 DSA offers a strong technical foundation on which to build
an information and messaging infrastructure that relies on robust and
scalable directory services. The implementation of this DSA
incorporates the experience gained through the development, support,
and maintenance of the earlier QUIPU, as well as operational
experience and standards support.
COMPLIANCE with X.500-1988 (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs)
The DSA is aligned to the 1988 ISO IS and the NIST OIW Directory
Implementors Guide Version 1. X.500(1993) features such as
replication, access control, as well as X.509 certification are also
available. Interoperability testing with other DSAs has been
performed.
COMPLIANCE with X.500-1993 (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs)
Please contact the ISODE Consortium if you wish to obtain our
protocol information conformance statements. PICS may also be
available from member organizations for their binary products.

INTEROPERABILITY
Interoperability with several other DSAs has been demonstrated in
pilot operation and at Eurosinet in October 1995.
At Eurosinet, X.500 interoperability testing used the X.500 DAP
(Directory Access) and DSP (Directory System) protocols. Successful
testing was done between the ISODE Consortium X.500(1993) DSA and
DSAs from four other vendors including Siemens-Nixdorf and Bull. The
ISODE Consortium was the only vendor to bring an X.500(93) compliant
DSA to the workshop for the scheduled X.500(93) testing.
PILOT CONNECTIVITY
Connectivity to the global research pilots (PARADISE etc.) has been
demonstrated. It is expected that this system will be used
extensively in a wide range of pilot activities. DUA Connectivity,
and DSA Connectivity.
BUGS
Bugs should be reported to the ISODE Consortium via email.

agent (DISH), a Motif Directory Administrator interface to configure
the first level and subordinate DSAs, and supporting utilities to
handle bulk loading of the Directory, maintain statistics, and
provide logging information.
In addition to supporting memory-based Directory Information Bases
(DIBs), the ISOPLEX DS includes the optional configuration of
delegate DSA processes for storing selected subtrees of the Directory
Information Tree (DIT) in disk-based index and data files.
The ISOPLEX DS includes a set of utilities integrating it with key
technology. The most important of these tools is the World Wide Web
to X.500 gateway, which supports Hyper-Text Markup Language (HTML)-
based DUA bindings to the ISOPLEX DS DSA via the ISOPLEX DS LDAP
daemon process.
The ISOPLEX DS additionally provides Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) functionality that works in conjunction with an
existing SNMP environment. The ISOPLEX DS functionality is
specifically designed to monitor a DSA's DSP and DAP connections from
a network managment system and uses the X.500 Directory monitoring
Management Information Base (MIB), which is based on [RFC1567].

NAME
LDAP
University of Michigan
ABSTRACT
UM-LDAP is an implementation of the Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol. LDAP is a draft Internet standard directory service
protocol that runs over TCP/IP. It can be used to provide a stand-
alone directory service, or to provide lightweight access to the
X.500 directory. LDAP is defined by [RFC1777] and [RFC1778].
The UM-LDAP package includes the following components:
* slapd - a stand-alone LDAP directory server
* slurpd - a stand-alone LDAP replication server
* ldapd - an LDAP-to-X.500 gateway server
* centipede - an LDAP centroid generation and maintenance
program
* libldap - an LDAP client library
* liblber - a lightweight BER/DER encoding/decoding library
* ldif tools - data conversion tools for use with slapd
* in.xfingerd - a finger-to-LDAP gateway server
* go500 - a gopher-to-LDAP gateway server for searching
* go500gw - a gopher-to-LDAP gateway server for searching and
browsing
* rcpt500 - an email-to-LDAP query responder
* mail500 - an LDAP-capable mailer
* fax500 - an LDAP-capable mailer that supports remote printing
* LDAP tools - A collection of shell-based LDAP utility
programs
In addition, there are some contributed components:
* web500 - an HTTP-to-LDAP gateway
* whois++d - a WHOIS++-to-LDAP gateway
* saucer - a simple command-line oriented client program
The latest information about LDAP can always be found on the LDAP
Home Page at this URL:
http://www.umich.edu/~rsug/ldap/
COMPLIANCE with X.500-1988 (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.
COMPLIANCE with X.500-1993 (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs)
Since the LDAP protocol itself has not yet been updated to support
any 1993-specific X.500 features, this implementation does support
any 1993 features yet either.
CONFORMANCE WITH PROPOSED INTERNET STANDARDS
Believed to be compliant with:
[RFC1274], [RFC1777], [RFC1778], [RFC1779], [RFC1781]
CONSISTENCE WITH INFORMATIONAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RFCs
