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 of RFC 1292. We contacted each contributor in RFC 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.
