Naming Guidelines for the AARNet X.500 Directory Service
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.
Background
This document is an AARNet (Australian Academic and Research Network)
Engineering Note (AEN-001). AARNet Engineering Notes are engineering
documents of the AARNet Engineering Working Group, and record current
or proposed operational practices related to the provision of
Internetworking services within Australia, and AARNet in particular.
Abstract
AARNet is a member network of the global Internet and participates in
the global Internet X.500 based Directory Service. A number of RFC's
have been issued that make recommendations that alter or supplement
the OSI/ETU standards for X.500 [1]. In general, these RFCs will be
followed by the AARNet Directory Service. However, in certain cases
we wish to align ourselves with our national ISO body (Standards
Australia) rather than the Internet where they conflict. In naming,
we have chosen to align ourselves with Standards Australia and this
document notes the difference in our approach to the Internet
guidelines suggested in RFC 1384 [2].
1. Introduction
The intended audience of this document is the administrators (or
potential administrators) of an X.500 Directory System Agent (DSA).
It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the relevant Internet
documents, especially RFC 1384.
