RFC 1632                   X.500 Catalog                      May 1994


   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 surveying several Internet mailing lists,
   including:  ,    , ,
   and . We also contacted many people by telephone
   and sent the template to several individuals and mailed a floppy disk
   containing the survey template to a person who did not have Internet
   access.

   Readers are encouraged to submit comments regarding both the form and
   content  of  this  memo.  New submissions are welcome.  Please direct
   input to  the  Integrated  Directory  Services  (IDS)  Working  Group
   ()  or  to  the editors.  IDS will produce new ver-
   sions of this document when a sufficient number of changes have  been
   received.  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 can not guarantee the accuracy
   or completeness of the descriptions, or the stability of the
   implementations.

1.4  Overview

   Section 1 contains introductory information.

   Section 2 contains a list of keywords, their definitions, and a cross
   reference of the X.500 implementations by these keywords.
