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. Section 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 publishing a URL for a set of on-line description forms deployed on the WWW as a home page on an InterNIC server. This URL Apple & Rossen Informational [Page 2] RFC 2116 X.500 Implementations Catalog-96 April 1997 (http://www.internic.net/projects/x500catalog/catalogtop.html) was advertised on the following directory-related mailing lists: iso@nic.ddn.mil, isode@nic.ddn.mil, osi-ds@cs.ucl.ac.uk, ids@merit.edu, ietf-asid@umich.edu, mhs-ds@mercury.udev.cdc.com, nadf-l@ema.org, and dssig@nist.gov. Readers are encouraged to submit comments regarding both the forms 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 authors. IDS will produce new versions of this document when a significant number of substantive comments have been received or when significant updates and/or modifications to X.500-related standards documents have been ratified. 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 cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the descriptions, nor the stability of the implementations. Apple & Rossen Informational [Page 3] RFC 2116 X.500 Implementations Catalog-96 April 1997 1.4 Overview Section 1 contains introductory information. Section 2 contains a list of keywords, their definitions, a cross reference of the X.500 implementations by these keywords and a table containing implementor name, implementor abreviation, and the page of this document on which the description begins for a particular implementor. Section 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 of [RFC 1632], Linda Millington and Sri Sataluri who graciously contributed the nroff source file used to structure their version of the catalog. 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.

Apple & Rossen Informational [Page 31] RFC 2116 X.500 Implementations Catalog-96 April 1997 NAME A-Window-To-Directory (AWTD) ABSTRACT A-Window-To-Directory is a simple-to-use DUA interface available on PC that provides access to the X.500 Directory Services. The available operations are: bind (authenticated or anonymous), read, list, compare, modify, modifyRDN, search, add, remove and unbind. It is designed to be used with the Bull X500-DUA product and for that reason is able to handle any of the defined schema. The new acronyms, objects and attributes are automatically loaded without any customisation. The interface of the application may be personalized in several ways, through Local Preferences stored on the PC and through User Settings stored on the UNIX machine that runs the Bull X500-DUA product. COMPLIANCE with X.500-1988 (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs) A-Window-To-Directory offers all the services described in the 88 CCITT X.500 standard. COMPLIANCE with X.500-1993 (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs) No CONFORMANCE WITH PROPOSED INTERNET STANDARDS No CONSISTENCE WITH INFORMATIONAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RFCs No INTEROPERABILITY Is designed to interoperate with Bull X500-DUA and X500-DS products PILOT CONNECTIVITY [No information provided. -- Ed.] BUGS Bull S.A. provides complete software maintenance with the products.

DATE LAST UPDATED or CHECKED November 1995 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION and/or COMMENTS [No information provided. -- Ed.] Apple & Rossen Informational [Page 33] RFC 2116 X.500 Implementations Catalog-96 April 1997 NAME Critical Angle X.500 Enabler (CAIx500e) ABSTRACT The X.500 Enabler product allows an LDAP-only directory server to be integrated into X.500 environments, by transparently converting X.500 DAP and DSP requests into LDAP requests. The initial release scheduled for 4Q96 will allow for connections from X.500-capable clients and servers to an LDAP-capable server, and will support the following features: * LDAP version 2, as defined in RFC 1777, * all attributes defined for LDAPv2, with the exception of certificates and revocation lists, * X.500(1988) DAP and DSP protocols over TCP/IP (using RFC 1006), * the following operations: Bind (with none or simple credentials), Read, Compare, List, Search, Abandon, AddEntry, ModifyEntry, RemoveEntry and ModifyRDN, * the X.500(1993) critical extensions field, to aid in deployments incorporating 1993 DSAs. This release will be available for Solaris 2.5 (SPARC and Intel) and Windows NT 4.0 Server (Intel). The product is expected to enter a public beta test period in September 1996. Beta test evaluation copies will be free (limited to two copies per site) but will be set to expire in December 1996. Released versions of X.500 Enabler will be licensed per server, and will be distributed over the Internet. COMPLIANCE with X.500-1988 (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs) The X.500 enabler accepts DAP and DSP connections. It supports Bind (with none or simple credentials), Read, Compare, List, Search, Abandon, AddEntry, ModifyEntry, RemoveEntry and ModifyRDN. Apple & Rossen Informational [Page 34] RFC 2116 X.500 Implementations Catalog-96 April 1997 It supports the attributes and object classes defined in X.520 and X.521. COMPLIANCE with X.500-1993 (applicable only for DSAs and DUAs) The X.500 Enabler will accept connections from X.500(1993) DUAs and DSAs. It supports the X.511(1993) critical extension mechanism. Non-critical protocol fields which do not map onto LDAPv2 are ignored. Attribute and object classes from X.520(1993) and X.521(1993) are supported, including collective. Operational attributes from X.501 are supported, with the exception of subschema. As LDAPv3-based servers become available, it is expected that the X.500 Enabler will be upgraded to map more of the X.500(1993) protocol onto LDAPv3. CONFORMANCE WITH PROPOSED INTERNET STANDARDS [RFC 1006] is the supported transport service. The product supports the object classes and attributes defined in RFC 1274. CONSISTENCE WITH INFORMATIONAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RFCs [No information provided. -- Ed.] INTEROPERABILITY The X.500 Enabler is being tested with public-domain X.500 and LDAP clients and servers, and with the various X.500 clients and servers connected to the PARADISE project, such as from the ISODE Consortium. Critical Angle intends to do interoperability testing with commercial LDAP-only servers as they become available. PILOT CONNECTIVITY This product will be used to connect LDAP-only servers, such as University of Michigan's slapd, and many vendor's forthcoming commercial LDAP server products, into the PARADISE project directory, so that they can be accessed by LDAP and X.500 DUAs throughout the project. Apple & Rossen Informational [Page 35] RFC 2116 X.500 Implementations Catalog-96 April 1997 BUGS Bugs reports may be sent to . CAVEATS AND GENERAL LIMITATIONS X.509 certificates and revocation lists are not supported due to limitations in the LDAP version 2 protocol. This restriction will be removed once LDAP version 3 servers become generally available. Under Windows NT there are limitations on the number of simultaneous incoming connections. INTERNETWORKING ENVIRONMENT This product supports RFC 1006 for DAP and DSP, and LDAP over TCP. HARDWARE PLATFORMS This product will initially be available for Sun Solaris 2.5 SPARC and Intel, and Windows NT Server 4.0 Intel. Subsequent versions may be available on additional platforms. SOFTWARE PLATFORMS An LDAP-based server, such as the freely-available slapd, is required. It does not need to run on the same host as the X.500 Enabler. NUMBER OF IMPLEMENTATIONS IN THE FIELD [No information provided. -- Ed.] AVAILABILITY This product is licensed per-host server, and is distributed over the Internet.
