"LDAP:String Representation of Distinguished Names", Kurt Zeilenga, 14-Feb-05. (31921 bytes)

The X.500 Directory uses distinguished names (DNs) as primary keys to entries in the directory. This document defines the string representation used in the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) to transfer distinguished names. The string representation is designed to give a clean representation of commonly used distinguished names, while being able to represent any distinguished name.

This document is an integral part of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) technical specification [Roadmap]. It provides a technical specification of attribute types and object classes intended for use by LDAP directory clients for many directory services, such as, White Pages. These objects are widely used as a basis for the schema in many LDAP directories. This document does not cover attributes used for the administration of directory servers, nor does it include directory objects defined for specific uses in other documents.
