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.
