Naming Guidelines for the AARNet X.500 Directory Service

Status of this Memo

This memo provides information for the Internet community. This memo

does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of

this memo is unlimited.

Background

This document is an AARNet (Australian Academic and Research Network)

Engineering Note (AEN-001). AARNet Engineering Notes are engineering

documents of the AARNet Engineering Working Group, and record current

or proposed operational practices related to the provision of

Internetworking services within Australia, and AARNet in particular.

Abstract

AARNet is a member network of the global Internet and participates in

the global Internet X.500 based Directory Service. A number of RFC's

have been issued that make recommendations that alter or supplement

the OSI/ETU standards for X.500 [1]. In general, these RFCs will be

followed by the AARNet Directory Service. However, in certain cases

we wish to align ourselves with our national ISO body (Standards

Australia) rather than the Internet where they conflict. In naming,

we have chosen to align ourselves with Standards Australia and this

document notes the difference in our approach to the Internet

guidelines suggested in RFC1384 [2].

1. IntrodUCtion

The intended audience of this document is the administrators (or

potential administrators) of an X.500 Directory System Agent (DSA).

It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the relevant Internet

documents, especially RFC1384.

2. The Australian X.500 domain

Standards Australia (SAA) have produced a document [3] that describes

the organisation of the Australian X.500 namespace. It is considered

that, as far as possible, we should align the AARNet Directory

Service with these requirements in order to provide a smooth

transition to an Australian Directory Service as ultimately the OSI

Registration Authority of Standards Australia has naming authority

for the DIT suBTree underneath the node "c=AU".

The SAA document defines only two types of objects that can be placed

directly below the c=AU node in the DIT, organisations with

nationally recognised names and localities representing the states

and territories of the Commonwealth of Australia.

It is intended to follow this scheme with one modification. The

recommendation doesn't indicate where ADMD and PRMD names should be

registered and so these objects will be treated as for organisations

with nationally recognised names.

3. Entries representing DSAs

The naming convention currently used by the Internet leads to a large

amount of clutter due to organisational DSAs being named directly

under the country node. The "normal" user of a directory service

isn't interested in the mechanics of the service and so the presence

of these entries in such a prominent location is unfortunate. In

order to avoid this clutter, and to conform to SAA requirements, we

have created a pseudo organisation called DMD where all Australian

DSAs should be registered.

Rather than continue the Quipu tradition of naming DSAs after

endangered South American animals, in Australia, it is suggested that

DSAs be named after Australian fauna.

4. Entries representing the states and territories of Australia

Immediately subordinate to the Australian entry are locality objects

representing the eight states and territories of the Commonwealth of

Australia. The RDN of these entries will use the stateOrProvinceName

attribute and have values consisting of the standard Australian two

or three letter abbreviations for the particular state of territory.

5. Entries representing organisations

SAA recommends that organisations are registered as immediate

subordinates of either the Australian entry or of the eight states

and territories depending on the uniqueness of the organisation's

name.

Organisations that can demonstrate that they have a name unique

within Australia (for example, if it has been allocated a name by an

organisation that can guarantee this uniqueness such as the

Australian Securities Commission) may be added immediately beneath

the Australian entry. If the name is only unique within a specific

state or territory, then the entry must be added immediately beneath

the state entry.

The names chosen for the distinguished name of an organisation must

be the officially registered name of the organisation and have a

maximum length of 64 characters, but other more familiar names can be

added as additional organisation names to aid searching.

6. Entries representing residential people

An individual may be registered in the directory and their entry will

be placed subordinate to the entry for their state of residence. The

RDN of such an entry will be composed of a combination of their

common name and their street address.
