RFC 4524 COSINE LDAP/X.500 Schema June 2006
1. Introduction
In the late 1980s, X.500 Directory Services were standardized by the
CCITT (Commite' Consultatif International de Telegraphique et
Telephonique), now a part of the ITU (International Telephone Union).
This lead to Directory Service piloting activities in the early
1990s, including the COSINE (Co-operation and Open Systems
Interconnection in Europe) PARADISE Project pilot [COSINEpilot] in
Europe. Motivated by needs for large-scale directory pilots, RFC
1274 was published to standardize the directory schema and naming
architecture for use in the COSINE and other Internet X.500 pilots
[RFC1274 ].
In the years that followed, X.500 Directory Services have evolved to
incorporate new capabilities and even new protocols. In particular,
the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) [RFC4510 ] was
introduced in the early 1990s [RFC1487 ], with Version 3 of LDAP
introduced in the late 1990s [RFC2251 ] and subsequently revised in
2005 [RFC4510 ].
While much of the material in RFC 1274 has been superceded by
subsequently published ITU-T Recommendations and IETF RFCs, many of
the schema elements lack standardized schema descriptions for use in
modern X.500 and LDAP directory services despite the fact that these
schema elements are in wide use today. As the old schema
descriptions cannot be used without adaptation, interoperability
issues may arise due to lack of standardized modern schema
descriptions.
This document addresses these issues by offering standardized schema
descriptions, where needed, for widely used COSINE schema elements.
1.1. Relationship to Other Documents
This document, together with [RFC4519 ] and [RFC4517 ], obsoletes RFC
1274 in its entirety. [RFC4519 ] replaces Sections 9.3.1 (Userid) and
9.3.21 (Domain Component) of RFC 1274. [RFC4517 ] replaces Section
9.4 (Generally useful syntaxes) of RFC 1274.
This document replaces the remainder of RFC 1274. Appendix A
discusses changes since RFC 1274, as well as why certain schema
elements were not brought forward in this revision of the COSINE
schema. All elements not brought are to be regarded as Historic.
The description of the 'domain' object class provided in this
document supercedes that found in RFC 2247. That is, Section 3.4 of
this document replaces Section 5.2 of [RFC2247 ].
Zeilenga Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 4524 COSINE LDAP/X.500 Schema June 2006
Some of the schema elements specified here were described in RFC 2798
(inetOrgPerson schema). This document supersedes these descriptions.
This document, together with [RFC4519 ], replaces Section 9.1.3 of RFC
2798.
1.2. Terminology and Conventions
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119 ].
DIT stands for Directory Information Tree.
DN stands for Distinguished Name.
DSA stands for Directory System Agent, a server.
DSE stands for DSA-Specific Entry.
DUA stands for Directory User Agent, a client.
These terms are discussed in [RFC4512 ].
Schema definitions are provided using LDAP description formats
[RFC4512 ]. Definitions provided here are formatted (line wrapped)
for readability.
2. COSINE Attribute Types
This section details COSINE attribute types for use in LDAP.
2.1. associatedDomain
The 'associatedDomain' attribute specifies DNS [RFC1034 ][RFC2181 ]
host names [RFC1123 ] that are associated with an object. That is,
values of this attribute should conform to the following ABNF:
domain = root / label *( DOT label )
root = SPACE
label = LETDIG [ *61( LETDIG / HYPHEN ) LETDIG ]
LETDIG = %x30-39 / %x41-5A / %x61-7A ; "0" - "9" / "A"-"Z" / "a"-"z"
SPACE = %x20 ; space (" ")
HYPHEN = %x2D ; hyphen ("-")
DOT = %x2E ; period (".")
For example, the entry in the DIT with a DN might
have an associated domain of "example.com".

RFC 4524 COSINE LDAP/X.500 Schema June 2006
The IA5String (1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26) syntax and the
'caseIgnoreIA5Match' and 'caseIgnoreIA5SubstringsMatch' rules are
described in [RFC4517 ].
Note that the directory will not ensure that values of this attribute
conform to the production provided above. It is the
application's responsibility to ensure that domains it stores in this
attribute are appropriately represented.
Also note that applications supporting Internationalized Domain Names
SHALL use the ToASCII method [RFC3490 ] to produce components
of the production.
2.2. associatedName
The 'associatedName' attribute specifies names of entries in the
organizational DIT associated with a DNS domain [RFC1034 ][RFC2181 ].
( 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.38 NAME 'associatedName'

The 'buildingName' attribute specifies names of the buildings where
an organization or organizational unit is based, for example, "The
White House".
( 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.48 NAME 'buildingName'

'caseIgnoreMatch' and 'caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch' rules are described
in [RFC4517 ].
2.4. co
The 'co' (Friendly Country Name) attribute specifies names of
countries in human-readable format, for example, "Germany" and
"Federal Republic of Germany". It is commonly used in conjunction
with the 'c' (Country Name) [RFC4519 ] attribute (whose values are
restricted to the two-letter codes defined in [ISO3166]).

'distinguishedNameMatch' rule are described in [RFC4517 ].
2.6. documentIdentifier
The 'documentIdentifier' attribute specifies unique identifiers for a
document. A document may be identified by more than one unique
identifier. For example, RFC 3383 and BCP 64 are unique identifiers
that (presently) refer to the same document.

an object. This information is not necessarily descriptive of the
object.
Applications should not attach specific semantics to values of this
attribute. The 'description' attribute [RFC4519 ] is available for
specifying descriptive information pertinent to an object.

Zeilenga Standards Track [Page 9]
RFC 4524 COSINE LDAP/X.500 Schema June 2006
Note that the directory will not ensure that values of this attribute
conform to the production [RFC2821 ]. It is the
application's responsibility to ensure that domains it stores in this
attribute are appropriately represented.
Additionally, the directory will compare values per the matching
rules named in the above attribute type description. As these rules
differ from rules that normally apply to comparisons,
operational issues may arise. For example, the assertion
(mail=joe@example.com) will match "JOE@example.com" even though the
differ. Also, where a user has two es whose
addresses differ only by case of the , both cannot be
listed as values of the user's mail attribute (as they are considered
equal by the 'caseIgnoreIA5Match' rule).
Also note that applications supporting internationalized domain names
SHALL use the ToASCII method [RFC3490 ] to produce
components of the production.
2.17. manager
The 'manager' attribute specifies managers, by distinguished name, of
the person (or entity).

person is often referred to in an organization. Examples of usage in
academia might include "undergraduate student", "researcher",
"professor", and "staff". Multiple values are allowed where the
person is in multiple categories.
Directory administrators and application designers SHOULD consider

2.22. roomNumber
The 'roomNumber' attribute specifies the room number of an object.
During periods of renumbering, or in other circumstances where a room
has multiple valid room numbers associated with it, multiple values
may be provided. Note that the 'cn' (commonName) attribute type
SHOULD be used for naming room objects.

2.24. uniqueIdentifier
The 'uniqueIdentifier' attribute specifies a unique identifier for an
object represented in the Directory. The domain within which the
identifier is unique and the exact semantics of the identifier are
for local definition. For a person, this might be an institution-
wide payroll number. For an organizational unit, it might be a
department code.

2.25. userClass
The 'userClass' attribute specifies categories of computer or
application user. The semantics placed on this attribute are for
local interpretation. Examples of current usage of this attribute in
academia are "student", "staff", and "faculty". Note that the
'organizationalStatus' attribute type is now often preferred, as it
makes no distinction between persons as opposed to users.

4. Security Considerations
General LDAP security considerations [RFC4510 ] are applicable to the
use of this schema. Additional considerations are noted above where
appropriate.
Zeilenga Standards Track [Page 18]
RFC 4524 COSINE LDAP/X.500 Schema June 2006
Directories administrators should ensure that access to sensitive
information be restricted to authorized entities and that appropriate
data security services, including data integrity and data
confidentiality, are used to protect against eavesdropping.
Simple authentication (e.g., plain text passwords) mechanisms should
only be used when adequate data security services are in place. LDAP
offers reasonably strong authentication and data security services
[RFC4513 ].
5. IANA Considerations
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has updated the LDAP
descriptors registry [RFC4520 ] as indicated in the following
template:
Subject: Request for LDAP Descriptor Registration Update

Appendix A. Changes since RFC 1274
This document represents a substantial rewrite of RFC 1274. The
following sections summarize the substantive changes.
A.1. LDAP Short Names
A number of COSINE attribute types have short names in LDAP.
X.500 Name LDAP Short Name
------------- ---------------
domainComponent dc
favoriteDrink drink
friendCountryName co
homeTelephoneNumber homePhone
mobileTelephoneNumber mobile
pagerTelephoneNumber pager
rfc822Mailbox mail
userid uid
While the LDAP short names are generally used in LDAP, some
implementations may (for legacy reasons [RFC3494 ]) recognize the
attribute type by its X.500 name. Hence, the X.500 names have been
reserved solely for this purpose.
Note: 'uid' and 'dc' are described in [RFC4519 ].
A.2. pilotObject
The 'pilotObject' object class was not brought forward as its
function is largely replaced by operational attributes introduced in
X.500(93) [X.501] and version 3 of LDAP [RFC4512 ]. For instance, the
function of the 'lastModifiedBy' and 'lastModifiedTime' attribute
types is now served by the 'creatorsName', 'createTimestamp',
'modifiersName', and 'modifyTimestamp' operational attributes
[RFC4512 ].
A.3. pilotPerson
The 'pilotPerson' object class was not brought forward as its
function is largely replaced by the 'organizationalPerson' [RFC4512 ]
object class and its subclasses, such as 'inetOrgPerson' [RFC2798 ].
Most of the related attribute types (e.g., 'mail', 'manager') were
brought forward as they are used in other object classes.
Zeilenga Standards Track [Page 23]
RFC 4524 COSINE LDAP/X.500 Schema June 2006
A.4. dNSDomain
The 'dNSDomain' object class and related attribute types were not
brought forward as its use is primarily experimental [RFC1279 ].
A.5. pilotDSA and qualityLabelledData
The 'pilotDSA' and 'qualityLabelledData' object classes, as well as
related attribute types, were not brought forward as its use is
primarily experimental [QoS].
A.6. Attribute Syntaxes
RFC 1274 defined and used caseIgnoreIA5StringSyntax attribute syntax.
This has been replaced with the IA5String syntax and appropriate
matching rules in 'mail' and 'associatedDomain'.
RFC 1274 restricted 'mail' to have non-zero length values. This
restriction is not reflected in the IA5String syntax used in the
definitions provided in this specification. However, as values are
to conform to the production, the 'mail' should not contain
zero-length values. Unfortunately, the directory service will not
enforce this restriction.
Appendix B. Changes since RFC 2247
The 'domainNameForm' name form was not brought forward as
specification of name forms used in LDAP is left to a future
specification.
