- Description of Working Group:
-
- The Integrated Directory Services Working Group (IDS) is chartered to
- facilitate the integration and interoperability of current and future
- directory services into a unified directory service. This work will
- unite directory services based on a heterogeneous set of directory
- services protocols (X.500, WHOIS++, etc.). In addition to specifying
- technical requirements for the integration, the IDS Group will also
- contribute to the administrative and maintenance issues of directory
- service offerings by publishing guidelines on directory data integrity,
- maintenance, security, and privacy and legal issues for users and
- administrators of directories.
-
- IDS will also assume responsibility for the completion of the
- outstanding Directory Information Services Infrastructure (DISI)
- Internet-Drafts, which are all specific to the X.500 protocol, and for
- the maintenance of FYI 11, ``A catalog of available X.500
- implementations''.
-
- IDS will need to liase with the groups working on development and
- deployment of the various directory service protocols.
-
- The IDS Working Group is a combined effort of the Applications Area and
- the User Services Area of the IETF.
-
- Goals and Milestones:
-
- Ongoing Track emerging directory service protocols to specify standards for
- interoperation with existing protocols.
-
- Ongoing Liase with groups working on deployment and development of directory
- services to locate and fix interoperability problems.
-
- Ongoing Identify unfilled needs of directory service offerers,
- administrators, and users.
