A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries.
RFC 1485:
Title: A String Representation of Distinguished Names
(OSI-DS 23 (v5))
Author: S. Hardcastle-Kille
Mailbox: S.Kille@ISODE.CO
Pages: 7
Characters: 11,158
Updates/Obsoletes: none
The OSI Directory uses distinguished names as the primary keys to
entries in the directory. Distinguished Names are encoded in ASN.1.
When a distinguished name is communicated between to users not using a
directory protocol (e.g., in a mail message), there is a need to have
a user-oriented string representation of distinguished name. This
specification defines a string format for representing names, which is
designed to give a clean representation of commonly used names, whilst
being able to represent any distinguished name.
This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
This RFC specifies an IAB standards track protocol for the Internet
community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
Please refer to the current edition of the "IAB Official Protocol
Standards" for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
