Network Working Group P. Barker Request for Comments: 1274 S. Kille University College London November 1991 The COSINE and Internet X.500 Schema Status of this Memo This RFC specifies an IAB standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "IAB Official Protocol Standards" for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Abstract This document suggests an X.500 Directory Schema, or Naming Architecture, for use in the COSINE and Internet X.500 pilots. The schema is independent of any specific implementation. As well as indicating support for the standard object classes and attributes, a large number of generally useful object classes and attributes are also defined. An appendix to this document includes a machine processable version of the schema. This document also proposes a mechanism for allowing the schema to evolve in line with emerging requirements. Proformas to support this process are included. Corrections and additions to the schema should be sent to na- update@cs.ucl.ac.uk list, as described within. 1. Introduction Directory Services are a fundamental requirement of both human and computer communications' systems. Human users need to be able to look up various details about other people: for example, telephone numbers, facsimile numbers and paper mail addresses. Computing systems also need Directory Services for several purposes: for example, to support address look-ups for a variety of services, and to support user-friendly naming and distribution lists in electronic mail systems. Directory Services have recently been standardised and published as the 1988 CCITT X.500 / ISO IS9594 recommendations [1]. The standard provides a good basis for the provision of real services, and a considerable amount of Directory Service piloting activity is
currently underway. In the U.S., the PSI White Pages Pilot [4] has stimulated use of X.500 on the Internet. In Britain, the U.K. Academic Community Directory Pilot [5] is similarly promoting use of X.500. 2. Motivation and aims of this document In a number of areas the X.500 standard only provides a basis for services. One such area is the Directory's Schema or Naming Architecture. The standard defines a number of useful object classes, in X.521, and attribute types, in X.520. These are intended to be generally useful across a range of directory applications. However, while these standard definitions are a useful starting point, they are insufficient as a basis for a large scale pilot directory. While it is possible for directory administrators to define their own sets of additional attribute types and object classes, this is undesirable for some common attributes and objects. The same objects and attribute types would be privately defined many times over. This would result in the directory's generality being diminished as remote systems would be unable to determine the semantics of these privately defined data types. A number of useful additions to the standard definitions were made in this note's forerunner, "The THORN and RARE Naming Architecture" [2]. These have been heavily used in early X.500 piloting activities. Furthermore, both the THORN and Quipu X.500 implementations have made use of these definitions. Since the afore-mentioned note was issued, a number of further requirements have come to light as the volume and variety of piloting activity has increased. Yet further requirements seem likely as the scale of X.500 pilot services increases. Thus, it is argued that it is not sufficient to merely reissue an updated version of the original note. The schema is a "living document" that needs procedures for: - Allowing submission of requests for new attributes and object classes to be added into the schema; - Allowing groups of object classes and attribute types defined elsewhere to be integrated into the schema. - Checking for the redundancy of any previously defined attribute types and object classes. This document attempts to establish procedures to allow for the
continual updating of the schema. Two proformas are set out for this
purpose. In addition, descriptive detail is provided for the
additional object classes and attribute types defined in the schema.
These descriptions follow the style used in X.520 and X.521.
Finally, also following the style adopted in the standards documents,
appendices will include the entire schema. Plain text versions of
the document's appendices are intended to be machine processable to
allow derivation of a system's schema tables. Appendix C lists all
the schema's object classes and attribute types in their respective
ASN.1 macro formats.
The scope and intended remit of this coordination activity should be
clearly understood.
- Esoteric and local, highly experimental requirements should
continue to be met by private definitions.
- Requirements which have support from more than one site will
usually be integrated into the schema. Put in other words,
the tendency will be for the inclusion, as opposed to the
exclusion, of useful additions to the schema.
- An attempt will be made to avoid duplication of object
classes and attribute types for essentially similar real
world objects.
3. What conformance to this schema means
It is not reasonable to require that a DSA which supports this schema
has specific code to handle each of the defined syntaxes. However,
the following requirements are made of a system which claims
conformance to this specification:
1. A DSA shall be able to store all of the attributes and
object class values specified. (Note that this implies
support for all the object classes and attribute types
required by strong authentication as defined in X.509.)
2. A DUA shall be able to identify each attribute type and
object class to the user, with an appropriate representation
(e.g., a string).
3. These statement are qualified for large attributes values
(>1kbyte). A conforming DSA does not have to store such
attribute values, and a DUA does not have to display such
values, although it must indicate their presence.
The following are desirable, but not required:
1. For a DSA to match correctly on the basis of all attribute
syntaxes defined
2. For a DSA to enforce the Object Class schema implied by
these definitions
3. For a DUA to correctly display the attribute values
(syntaxes) defined
4. For DUAs and DSAs to maintain compatibility with a previous
version of the schema.
4. Requesting new object classes and attribute types
This section defines procedures for requesting new object classes and
attribute types to be added to the schema. Proformas for object
classes and attribute types are specified, and examples given of how
to use them. A mechanism for making requests for large groups of new
object classes and attribute types is described in the next section.
As stated earlier, it is anticipated that the schema will evolve
considerably over time. As X.500 is used to support a widening range
of applications, there will be requirements for extensions to the
schema. This document proposes formalising this procedure by
requiring requests for additions to the schema to be submitted as
completed proformas. This stipulation will greatly simplify
subsequent revisions of the schema.
There is one qualification to the above with respect to requests for
modifications to an existing object class. If a modification to an
object class merely involves additional, optional attributes, the
object class will be enhanced as requested. Systems are expected to
be resilient to such changes to the schema. However, requests to
modify an object class, such that the mandatory attribute types
require altering, will not be met. Instead, a new object class will
be created, and the original object class expired following the
scheme described in the next main section.
It is anticipated that most requests for modifications to the schema
will be met without any need for editorial intervention. Sometimes,
however, some discussion between the submitter of a request and the
schema's editor may be required. For example, the editor may have to
judge the relative merits of two very similar requests and, as a
result, one of the parties may not get quite what they want. In
cases such as this where the submitter of a request feels aggrieved
about an editorial decision, the requestor may appeal to a broader
community by explaining their views to the mailing list osi-
ds@cs.ucl.ac.uk. Heed will be paid to any consensus that emerges
from discussions on the schema on this list. If it proves that this list is used almost solely for discussions on schema issues, a separate discussion list will be created. To facilitate the production of the afore-mentioned proformas, tools are included in Appendix B which will verify that a proforma has been correctly formatted. Completed proformas should be mailed to na-update@cs.ucl.ac.uk 4.1. Object Class proforma This section gives an example, completed proforma for a new object class, alcoholic drink. A proforma for object class specified in BNF is included in Appendix A. Object Class: Alcoholic Drink Description: The Alcoholic Drink object class is used to define entries representing intoxicating beverages. ASN1OCMacro: alcoholicDrink OBJECT-CLASS SUBCLASS OF drink MUST CONTAIN { percentAlcohol} MAY CONTAIN { normalServing, hue} An object class description consists of three fields, separated by blank lines. The keywords Object Class, Description and ASN1OCMacro, and their suffixed colons, must be included exactly as above. The Object Class field should be used for a textual description of the object class. This will be at most three or four words. The Description field should contain some explanatory text about the intended use of the object class. This can run to a number of lines. The ASN1OCMacro field should follow the definition of the object class macro as specified in X.501. The above example shows the main features. There are many more examples which can studied in the section defining the Pilot Object Classes. 4.2. Attribute type proforma This section gives an example completed proforma for a new attribute type, hue (one of the attribute types in the alcoholic drink object
class).
Attribute Type: Hue
Description: The Hue attribute type specifies the hue of
an object. (Note that a description may run to several
lines.)
OCMust:
OCMay: alcoholicDrink
ASN1ATMacro:hue ATTRIBUTE

(SIZE (1 .. ub-hue))
ub-hue INTEGER ::= 256
An attribute type description consists of five fields, separated by
blank lines. The keywords Attribute Type, Description, OCMust, OCMay
and ASN1ATMacro, and their suffixed colons, must be included exactly
as above.
The Attribute Type field should be used for a textual description of
the attribute type. This will be at most three or four words.
The Description field should contain some explanatory text about the
intended use of the attribute type. This can run to a number of
lines.
The OCMust field should contain a comma-separated list of object
classes for which this attribute is mandatory.
The OCMay field should contain a comma-separated list of object
classes for which this attribute is optional.
The ASN1ATMacro field should follow the definition of the attribute
macro as specified in X.501. The above example shows some of the
features. In particular, please note the format for specifying size
constraints.
5. Integrating groups of object classes and attribute types.
This section describes two mechanisms that may be employed to allow
the integration of a substantial number of new object classes and
attribute types into the schema.
The first mechanism allows for the transition of groups of related,
privately defined object classes and attribute types into the schema.
An example of when such a transition might be appropriate is when
some experimental use of the Directory is widely adopted within the
pilot. Such a transition will be made if the following conditions
hold:
- The definitions are well structured: i.e., they are not
scattered over a multiplicity of object identifier subtrees.
- The definitions are in use at a number of sites, and having
to adopt new object identifiers would be unnecessarily
disruptive.
A second mechanism allows for the allocation of an object subtree for
a group of new definitions. A pilotGroups object identifier has been
defined for this purpose. This method will be suitable for an
experiment requiring a considerable number of new object identifiers
to be defined. This approach allows for flexibility during
experimentation and should simplify both the management and the
coherence of the pilot's object identifiers.
In both cases, the object classes, attribute types and syntaxes
should be defined and described in an RFC. It is suggested that such
documents should follow the style used in this document for object
class and attribute type definitions. A reference will be given in
this schema to the document containing the definitions.
6. Removing "old" object classes and attribute types.
It is also important that object classes and attribute types which
are no longer used or useful are removed from the schema. Some
object classes and attribute types initially defined as pilot
extensions may be included as standard definitions in future versions
of the standard. In such a case, it is important that there should
be a fairly rapid transition to the standard definitions. Another
possibility is that newer, more specific definitions obviate the
original definitions.
Two things are essential. First, it is crucial that "old"
definitions are retired as gracefully as possible. The intention to
retire a definition will be sent to the osi-ds@cs.ucl.ac.uk mail
list. In the absence of objections, the definition will be marked
for expiry with a given expiry date. The definition will remain in
the schema until the expiry date. Users of the schema should ensure
that they make the transition to new, alternative definitions in the
interim.
Second, users of the schema must have the right to argue for the retention of definitions which they regard as necessary, there being no other definitions which closely meet their requirements. It is clearly impossible to lay down hard and fast rules on this point, as no two instances will ever be quite the same. It is intended that the refereeing on these matters will be sympathetic! As for requests for additions, an aggrieved user can "go to arbitration" by initiating a discussion on the osi-ds@cs.ucl.ac.uk mail list. 7. Object Identifiers Some additional object identifiers are defined for this schema. These are also reproduced in Appendix C. data OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {ccitt 9} pss OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {data 2342} ucl OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {pss 19200300} pilot OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {ucl 100} pilotAttributeType OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {pilot 1} pilotAttributeSyntax OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {pilot 3} pilotObjectClass OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {pilot 4} pilotGroups OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {pilot 10} iA5StringSyntax OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {pilotAttributeSyntax 4} caseIgnoreIA5StringSyntax OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {pilotAttributeSyntax 5} 8.

9.3.34. Unique Identifier The Unique Identifier attribute type specifies a "unique identifier" for an object represented in the Directory. The domain within which the identifier is unique, and the exact semantics of the identifier, are for local definition. For a person, this might be an institution-wide payroll number. For an organisational unit, it might be a department code. uniqueIdentifier ATTRIBUTE WITH ATTRIBUTE-SYNTAX caseIgnoreStringSyntax (SIZE (1 .. ub-unique-identifier)) ::= {pilotAttributeType 44} 9.3.35. Organisational Status The Organisational Status attribute type specifies a category by which a person is often referred to in an organisation. Examples of usage in academia might include undergraduate student, researcher, lecturer, etc. A Directory administrator should probably consider carefully the distinctions between this and the title and userClass attributes. organizationalStatus ATTRIBUTE WITH ATTRIBUTE-SYNTAX caseIgnoreStringSyntax (SIZE (1 .. ub-organizational-status)) ::= {pilotAttributeType 45} 9.3.36. Janet Mailbox The Janet Mailbox attribute type specifies an electronic mailbox attribute following the syntax specified in the Grey Book of the Coloured Book series. This attribute is intended for the convenience of U.K users unfamiliar with rfc822 and little-endian mail addresses. Entries using this attribute MUST also include an rfc822Mailbox attribute. janetMailbox ATTRIBUTE WITH ATTRIBUTE-SYNTAX caseIgnoreIA5StringSyntax (SIZE (1 .. ub-janet-mailbox)) ::= {pilotAttributeType 46}
9.3.37. Mail Preference Option An attribute to allow users to indicate a preference for inclusion of their names on mailing lists (electronic or physical). The absence of such an attribute should be interpreted as if the attribute was present with value "no-list-inclusion". This attribute should be interpreted by anyone using the directory to derive mailing lists, and its value respected. mailPreferenceOption ATTRIBUTE WITH ATTRIBUTE-SYNTAX ENUMERATED { no-list-inclusion(0), any-list-inclusion(1), -- may be added to any lists professional-list-inclusion(2) -- may be added to lists -- which the list provider -- views as related to the -- users professional inter- -- ests, perhaps evaluated -- from the business of the -- organisation or keywords -- in the entry. } ::= {pilotAttributeType 47} 9.3.38. Building Name The Building Name attribute type specifies the name of the building where an organisation or organisational unit is based. buildingName ATTRIBUTE WITH ATTRIBUTE-SYNTAX caseIgnoreStringSyntax (SIZE (1 .. ub-building-name)) ::= {pilotAttributeType 48} 9.3.39. DSA Quality The DSA Quality attribute type specifies the purported quality of a DSA. It allows a DSA manager to indicate the expected level of availability of the DSA. See [8] for details of the syntax. dSAQuality ATTRIBUTE WITH ATTRIBUTE-SYNTAX DSAQualitySyntax SINGLE VALUE ::= {pilotAttributeType 49}
9.3.40. Single Level Quality The Single Level Quality attribute type specifies the purported data quality at the level immediately below in the DIT. See [8] for details of the syntax. singleLevelQuality ATTRIBUTE WITH ATTRIBUTE-SYNTAX DataQualitySyntax SINGLE VALUE ::= {pilotAttributeType 50} 9.3.41. Subtree Minimum Quality The Subtree Minimum Quality attribute type specifies the purported minimum data quality for a DIT subtree. See [8] for more discussion and details of the syntax. subtreeMinimumQuality ATTRIBUTE WITH ATTRIBUTE-SYNTAX DataQualitySyntax SINGLE VALUE -- Defaults to singleLevelQuality ::= {pilotAttributeType 51} 9.3.42. Subtree Maximum Quality The Subtree Maximum Quality attribute type specifies the purported maximum data quality for a DIT subtree. See [8] for more discussion and details of the syntax. subtreeMaximumQuality ATTRIBUTE WITH ATTRIBUTE-SYNTAX DataQualitySyntax SINGLE VALUE -- Defaults to singleLevelQuality ::= {pilotAttributeType 52} 9.3.43. Personal Signature The Personal Signature attribute type allows for a representation of a person's signature. This should be encoded in G3 fax as explained in recommendation T.4, with an ASN.1 wrapper to make it compatible with an X.400 BodyPart as defined in X.420. IMPORT G3FacsimileBodyPart FROM { mhs-motis ipms modules information-objects } personalSignature ATTRIBUTE WITH ATTRIBUTE-SYNTAX CHOICE {

(SIZE (1 .. ub-personal-signature))
::= {pilotAttributeType 53}
9.3.44. DIT Redirect
The DIT Redirect attribute type is used to indicate that the object
described by one entry now has a newer entry in the DIT. The entry
containing the redirection attribute should be expired after a
suitable grace period. This attribute may be used when an individual
changes his/her place of work, and thus acquires a new organisational
DN.
dITRedirect ATTRIBUTE

distinguishedNameSyntax
::= {pilotAttributeType 54}
9.3.45. Audio
The Audio attribute type allows the storing of sounds in the
Directory. The attribute uses a u-law encoded sound file as used by
the "play" utility on a Sun 4. This is an interim format.
audio ATTRIBUTE
