- 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.
