Abstract
This document is the result of a survey that gathered new or updated
descriptions of currently available implementations of X.500,
including commercial products and openly available offerings. This
document is a revision of RFC 1292. We contacted each contributor in
RFC 1292 and requested an update and published the survey template in
several mailing lists and obtained new product descriptions.
This document contains detailed description of twenty six (26) X.500
implementations - DSAs, DUAs, and DUA interfaces.
1. 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.
