   PMDF-X500

   from:

   Innosoft International, Inc. 1050 East Garvey Ave. South West
   Covina, California  91790

   Phone:  +1 818-919-3600 email: sales@innosoft.com

ABSTRACT

   PMDF-X500 is Innosoft's implementation of the X.500 standards for
   Directory Services. PMDF-X500 is based upon the ISODE Consortium
   code-base. The core of PMDF-X500 is the Directory System Agent (DSA)
   server. This server provides directory information to Directory User
   Agents (DUA) using either OSI or TCP/IP networking protocols. Since
   PMDF-X500 is based on a widely used implementation, it interoperates
   particularly well with a whole host of X.500-based products from other
   sources.

   In order to facilitate initial loading of directory data as well as
   ongoing coordination with other directory services, PMDF-X500 includes
   tools to import from and export directory information to Entry
   Description File (EDF) files. EDF files are flat text files.
   PMDF-X500 provides directory coordination functions using EDF files
   for the following directories:

      * X.500 DSAs supporting LDAP access

      * cc:Mail

      * Digital's DDS

      * GroupWise

      * Microsoft Mail

      * PMDF  generic databases

COMPLIANCE with X.500-1988 (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs)

   OSI directory services as specified in CCITT X.500 Recommendations
   and ISO 9594 use the Directory Access Protocol (DAP) and the
   Directory System Protocol (DSP).
ToP   noToC   RFC2116 - Page 139
COMPLIANCE with X.500-1993 (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs)

   PMDF-X500 does not yet support the 1993 changes to the X.500
   standard.  Support for the 1993 X.500 recommendations is planned for
   a future release of PMDF-X500.

CONFORMANCE WITH PROPOSED INTERNET STANDARDS

   PMDF-X500 supports DAP and DSP accesses using Internet protocols as
   specified in [RFC 1006]. In addition, the Internet community has
   proposed two lightweight alternatives to DAP called Lightweight
   Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), which is specified in [RFC 1777],
   and Connectionless Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (CLDAP),
   which is specified in [RFC 1798]. LDAP and CLDAP, which are currently
   specified to run over TCP/IP, are much simpler protocols than DAP and
   were designed to reduce the cost of entry associated with using X.500
   protocols in client applications. PMDF-X500 includes both LDAP and
   CLDAP servers.

   The LDAP server accesses X.500 directory information using DAP to
   communicate with X.500 DSAs. PMDF-X500 provides an LDAP server which
   translates LDAP requests into DAP requests to communicate with X.500
   DSAs. CLDAP defines a very low overhead method for accessing X.500
   directory information. CLDAP is suitable for providing access to
   information that does not require access controls.

CONSISTENCE WITH INFORMATIONAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RFCs

   [No information provided. -- Ed.]

INTEROPERABILITY

   PMDF-X500 interoperates with a large number of DUAs and DSAs. This is
   demonstated by the fact that PMDF-X500 is DSA used by several Internet
   White Pages Project participants. PMDF-X500 DSA interoperability
   includes at least all of the DSA that are used in the White Pages
   Project.

   PMDF-X500 is delivered with several DUAs and in addition is know to
   support the DUAs from Unisys and Digital Equipment Corporation as well
   as the publically available DUAs MaX500, Cello, Swix, and the NASA
   DUA.

PILOT CONNECTIVITY

   PMDF-X500 is used by several sites that are participants of the
   Internet White Pages Project include the Innosoft DSA.

CAVEATS AND GENERAL LIMITATIONS

   [No information provided. -- Ed.]

INTERNETWORKING ENVIRONMENT

   DAP and DSP are layered on top of the OSI protocol suite. PMDF-X500
   supports this protocol suite over multiple network transports. For a
   pure OSI protocol stack, DECnet/OSI can be used to provide the lower
   layers of the stack. In addition, PMDF-X500 supports running OSI upper
   layer protocols over a TCP/IP transport in accordance with [RFC 1006].
   It is important to note that while [RFC 1006] specifies TCP/IP as a
   transport, all of the OSI upper layer protocols are always used with
   DAP and DSP.

ABSTRACT

   waX.500 :: Windows Access to X.500

   waX.500 is a (currently 16-bit) DUA that run on Microsoft Windows
   (3.1, Win95, & WinNT).  It uses libldap.dll which uses the winsock
   (v1.1) interface.  It works on any vendors tcp/ip stack that I've
   seen so far (some configuration may be required).

   waX.500 was developed by the University of Michigan for use by its

NAME

   X500-DS

   X500-DUA

   Bull S.A.

ABSTRACT

   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, those two products may
   be installed and used without the DCE environment. Some enhancements
   have been added for the user and the management facilities. 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 high layers (ASN.1, ROSE, ACSE, Presentation
        and Session) for communication with the distant DSAs. The
        interface with the low layers is XTI. [RFC 1006] is supported
        under XTI or the OSI Session,

      * A DUA Cache to improve performances when accessing remote
        DSAs,

      * A powerful management application facilitating the
        configuration of the product and controlling the operations,
        logs and traces,

      * A user application for the manipulations of the database
        entries,

      * A generic tool to load and unload ASCII and binary files
        in/from distributed DSAs,
ToP   noToC   RFC2116 - Page 158
      * The support of the LDAP [RFC 1777] thanks to an LDAP Server,

      * A DUA Server that allows to use A-Window-To-Directory (refer
        to this DUA product description) on a PC.

   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,

      * The support of the referral, chained and multi-casting modes
        of operation, access control lists and management of
        knowledge information (for distribution, shadows and  copies
        of sub-trees),

      * The support of the simple authentication and of the DCE
        authentication,

      * 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 that is specially designed for high
        performances: e.g. less than 10 ms to read an entry on an
        Escala at the XOM/XDS interface.

   These two products are easely installed, configured and administered
   thanks to the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) screens of AIX.

COMPLIANCE with X.500-1988 (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs)

   Compliant with EWOS and OIW Agreements

   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.

COMPLIANCE with X.500-1993 (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs)

   [New description field -- Ed.]

INTEROPERABILITY

   This implementation of DAP and DSP can interoperate with other X.500
   implementations from other Cebit and EUROSINET demo participants
   including IBM, HP, ICL, Siemens-Nixdorf, SUN, Marben, NEXOR, etc. It
   also interoperates with ISODE QUIPU.

PILOT CONNECTIVITY

   [No information provided--Ed.]

BUGS

   Bull S.A. provides complete software maintenance with the products.

CAVEATS AND GENERAL LIMITATIONS

   [No information provided--Ed.]

INTERNETWORKING ENVIRONMENT

   OSI TP4 with CLNP (WAN - LAN)

   OSI TP0, 2 & 4 with X.25 (WAN)

   [RFC 1006] with TCP/IP

   Either BSD sockets or XTI can be used to access the transports.

   Through XTI, both OSI and TCP/IP protocols are possible on the same
   machine, thus permitting to build a Directory Service distributed on
   OSI and TCP/IP networks.
