- Description of Working Group:
-
- The Directory Information Services (pilot) Infrastructure Working
- Group is chartered to facilitate the deployment in the Internet of
- Directory Services based on implementations of the X.500 standards.
- It will facilitate this deployment by producing informational RFCs
- intended to serve as a Directory Services ``Administrator's Guide''.
- These RFCs will relate the current usage and scope of the X.500
- standard and Directory Services in North America and the world, and
- will contain information on the procurement, installation, and
- operation of various implementations of the X.500 standard. As the
- various implementations of the X.500 standard work equally well over
- TCP/IP and CLNP, the DISI Working Group shall not mandate specific
- implementations or transport protocols.
-
- The DISI Working Group is an offshoot of the OSI Directory Services
- Group, and, accordingly, is a combined effort of the OSI Integration
- Area and User Services Area of the IETF. The current OSIDS Working
- Group was chartered to smooth out technical differences in information
- storage schema and difficulties in the interoperability and coherence
- of various X.500 implementations. The DISI Group is concerned solely
- with expanding the Directory Services infrastructure. As DISI will be
- providing infrastructure with an eye towards truly operational status,
- DISI will need to form liaisons with COSINE, Paradise, and perhaps the
- RARE WG3.
-
- As a final document, the DISI Working Group shall write a Charter for
- a new working group concerned with user services, integration,
- maintenance, and operations of Directory Services, the Internet
- Directory User Services Group.
