- F.435.
- The following table shows how Elements of Service defined in

- ANNEX M
-
- Realization of an EDIMG User in the Directory
-
- (This annex does not form an integral part of this Recommendation.)
- An EDIMG User object class that a Directory administrator can realize
- contains a set of characteristics that define its application,
- communication mechanism, depending entity, and naming. The following text
- describes how such an EDIMG User object class, for use with EDI messaging,
- can be realized from the generic EDI User object class and suggests a
- manner in which it can be defined.
- This need can be rationalized from the following observations:
- a) The description of the EDI User object class in Annex J of this
- Recommendation is that of a generic EDI user. That is, a
- description that does not presuppose a notion of a specific
- communication mechanism such as MHS. EDI users may desire to use
- other communication mechanisms.
- b) The definition of the MHS User object class in Recommendation
- X.402 is of a generic MHS User. It does not presuppose that a MHS
- User is associated with any particular kind of "named" entity,
- such as country, or organization. Also, its definition does not
- limit the MHS User to the Interpersonal Messaging Service.
- c) The selected object classes in Recommendation X.521 define the
- characteristics for a set of "independent" entities, such as
- country and organization, and their name forms. These entities
- are generic in the sense that they are not bound to any
- particular kind of user application.
- d) Recommendation X.521, Annex B, suggests a set of relationships
- among these entities. These relationships form the DIT structure,
- and thus the naming of the entities. As in point b above, the
- notion of an application or how applications are used in a
- communication mechanism is open ended.
- e) The Directory recommendations do not prescribe a "binding"
- mechanism that will allow the formation of composite objects from
- generic objects.
- To realize a Directory entry for an EDIMG user requires that a new
- unregistered object class be defined. This new object class forms a
- composite of the characteristics from each desired generic object class,
- for example, by combining the EDI User object class and MHS User object
- class into a new unregistered object class. In ASN.1 this may be expressed
- as:
- edimg-user OBJECT CLASS ::= SUBCLASS OF edi-user, mhs-user
- NOTE - An Unregistered Object Class is discussed in 9.4.1 of
- Recommendation X.501, as an object class without an assigned object
- identifier. It is intended for local use as a means of conveniently adding
- new attribute types to a pre-defined superclass.
- In this example, the edimg-user is a type identifier specified by the
- defining Directory administration. Additionally, the administration may
- include private attributes by adding the MUST CONTAIN and MAY CONTAIN
- statements to the unregistered object class definition.
- In addition to the definition of the content of Directory entries by
- use of the object class notation, a naming policy for these entires is also
- required. For example, using the approach of Annex B of Recommendation
- X.521 it may be specified that for entries of the EDI User object class,
- the EDI Name attribute is used for naming; entries of this object class may
- be immediately subordinate to entries of for example, Organization object
- class or Organizational Unit object class.
- To provide an alternative name for an EDIMG user requires that
- another unregistered object class be defined. This new object class forms a
- composite of the characteristics from the alias object class and the
- desired EDI user naming attribute. In ASN.1, this may be expressed as:
- edimg-user-alias OBJECT CLASS ::= SUBCLASS OF alias MUST CONTAIN {edi-name}
- the
- the naming policy of the unregistered EDIMG User object class.
