Abstract

   While the X.500 standards define many useful attribute types [X520]
   and object classes [X521], they do not define a person object class
   that meets the requirements found in today's Internet and Intranet
   directory service deployments.  We define a new object class called
   inetOrgPerson for use in LDAP and X.500 directory services that
   extends the X.521 standard organizationalPerson class to meet these
   needs.
