- 21 May 1993
- Beta test release of maX.500 2.0 Macintosh Directory Client
- Location: /x500/max500-test.sit.hqx
- Version: 2.0 Beta 4 5/20/93
- Description: This is the final beta of a new version of maX.500.

- BUD X.500 LDAP client for MSDOS
- Location: /x500/bud.exe.ldap
- Version: 2.0
- Description: This is a port of the ldap-2.0 ud program to MSDOS.
- It requires that your MSDOS machine be configured to
- run NCSA Telnet. There is no documentation for bud at
- the present time. There are some known bugs in this
- version, so it is fairly experimental at this time.
- Notes: The distribution is binary MSDOS .exe file.
-
- 6 Sept 1992
- LDAP server/library/clients
-
- Location: /x500/ldap-2.0.tar.Z
- Version: 2.0
- Description: The ldap distribution contains an intermediate protocol
- server that speaks X.500 on one side and LDAP on the
- other, as defined by the IETF Internet Drafts OSI-DS 26
- and 27. There is also a lightweight BER encoding/
- decoding library, an LDAP client library with API
- useful for building X.500 user agents, and several
- clients that use the client library (including UD, a
- simple command line white pages client, a couple of
- Gopher gateways, and an finger daemon that access X.500
- intead of /etc/passwd).
- Changes: (as compared to U-M LDAP 1.0) several bug fixes,
- improved error handling, bitstring support added to
- lber library, fax photo support added to ldap server,
- true abandon capability added to client and server,
- addition of ud and go500gw clients, support for Ultrix,
- MSDOS, Mac platforms, no longer requires shared ISODE
- libraries.
- Lists: for discussion: ldap@terminator.cc.umich.edu
- to join list: ldap-request@terminator.cc.umich.edu
- support: ldap-support@terminator.cc.umich.edu
- bug reports: bug-ldap@terminator.cc.umich.edu
- Notes: The distribution is a compressed tar file. ISODE-8.0
- and QUIPU are required to build the LDAP server, but
- other clients and associated libraries can be built
- without ISODE. The DIXIE release, described below, is
- being phased out in favor of LDAP.

- 9 June 1992
- DIXIE server/library/ud client
-
- Location: /x500/dixie-1.4.tar.Z
- Version: 1.4
- Description: The dixie distribution contains an intermediate protocol
- server that speaks X.500 on one side and dixie on the other
- (over udp/tcp). The server does protocol translation,
- ASN.1 encoding/decoding, etc. The server is used by
- the maX.500 client described below. Also included
- is a simple Unix client called ud, and an application
- library that can be used by programmers to access the
- dixie protocol (and thus X.500). Many of the other
- X.500 servers and clients developed at U-M and elsewhere
- make use of this software. Most of these clients have
- been ported to the new LDAP release, though, and you
- should probably get that instead of DIXIE.
- Changes: Support for audio attributes and jpeg format photos has
- been added to the server and client library. The client
- library has been enhanced to try all IP addresses the
- dixie server name has listed in its DNS record (up to 4 IP
- addresses on DOS and on the Macintosh). Numerous bug fixes
- and enhancements to the server, library, and ud client.
- Lists: for discussion: dixie@terminator.cc.umich.edu
- to join list: dixie-request@terminator.cc.umich.edu
- support & bugs: dixie-support@terminator.cc.umich.edu
- Notes: The distribution is a compressed tar file. The DIXIE
- release is being phased out in favor of LDAP, described
- above.

- Location: /x500/go500.tar.Z
- Version: N/A
- Description: go500 is a simple daemon that transforms queries from Gopher
- clients to X.500 queries. Point your gopher client at
- totalrecall.rs.itd.umich.edu port 5555 if you want to try
- this out.
- Notes: The distribution is a compressed tar file. go500 has only
- been built and tested on a Sun4 running SunOS 4.1.1. There
- are definite University of Michigan dependencies in the code,
- but they can easily be cleaned up.

- X.500 Finger daemon
- Location: /x500/dixie-fingerd.tar.Z
- Version: N/A
- Description: This is a replacement for the standard Unix finger daemon
- that looks up names in X.500 instead of in /etc/passwd or
- the local equivalent. It uses the dixie protocol and
- client library (see "DIXIE server/library/ud client" above).
- If you want to see how it works, finger <name>@umich.edu.
- Notes: The distribution is a compressed tar file. This has only
- been built and tested on a Sun4 running SunOS 4.1.1. There
- are definite University of Michigan dependencies in the code,
- but they can easily be cleaned up.

- X.500 sendmail
-
- Location: /x500/x500sendmail-5.64.x500.tar.Z
- /x500/x500sendmail-5.65.x500.tar.Z
- Version: 1.1
- Description: A sendmail (5.64 or 5.65, take your pick) modified to
- do X.500 lookups. Lookups are accomplished by using udp
- to contact the dixie server, which keeps a connection open
- to the DSA. Instructions for making and configuring things
- are in the sendmail source in READ_ME.X500. Mail sent
- to <name>@umich.edu makes use of this modified sendmail.
- Changes: Since 1.0, the x.500 sendmail now uses the dixie server
- instead of duad. Also, a few changes to the way
- lookups are done (uid's are now looked up). Groups are also
- handled. A few bug fixes, too.
- Notes: This distribution is a compressed tar file. Also, the
- distribution contains only the src/ subdirectory of the
- sendmail distribution, so you should cd into the toplevel
- sendmail source directory before untarring.
