		X.500 Implementation Survey

Goal Of This Survey:

To gather information regarding currently available implementations of
X.500 including products, public domain and openly available
offerings.

The Directory Information Services (pilot) Infrastructure (DISI)
working group of IETF will produce an RFC/FYI that identifies existing
implementations of the X.500 standard.  This RFC/FYI will provide
information to the Internet community regarding the availability and
capability of X.500 implementations.  It will not specify a standard,
list IAB policy, or list IAB recommendations.  It will be similar in
intent, nature, and scope to the Network Management Tools Catalog (RFC
1147/FYI 2).

Instructions For Completing This Survey:

If you are an X.500 implementor or product representative, please
fill-out this survey using one form per application suite or named
application.  Return completed forms by May 3, 1991 to:

	Ruth Lang  (rlang@nisc.sri.com)
	Russ Wright (wright@lbl.gov)

Questions regarding how to complete the survey may also be sent to
either Ruth Lang or Russ Wright.

We apologize for the duplicates received by those of you who are on
some or all of the mailing list recipients of this message.  Please
feel free to pass this survey form on to others who may have something
to contribute but are not on any of the lists above. The editors and
the DISI working group thank you for your participation!

NAME:

<List the name of the X.500 implementation, DSA, DUA, or DUA interface
process.  Fill-out one form per named implementation.  If commercial,
indicate name trademark by "(tm)", e.g., GeeWhiz(tm).>


ABSTRACT:

<Write a brief (less than 250 words) description of the application.
Include a list of Pilot projects in which the application is being
used.>


COMPLETENESS:

<State compliance with or describe any voids in implementation with
respect to both the 88 standard and the 88 OIW Implementation
Agreements.  E.g., 88 Standard: Search function or strong
authentication not yet implemented.>


INTEROPERABILITY:

<State which other DUAs and DSAs this implementation can interoperate
with; also state test suite (if any) used to test interoperability.>


BUGS:

<Warn the reader about any problems and/or advertise bug report email
address.>


CAVEATS and GENERAL LIMITATIONS:

<Warn the reader about possible side effects or any short comings,
e.g., log file size, a feature that works on one platform but not
another.>


INTERNETWORKING ENVIRONMENT:

<List environments in which this implementation is used.  Examples:
RFC 1006 with TCP/IP, TP0 or TP4 with X.25.>


HARDWARE PLATFORMS:

<List hardware platforms on which this application runs.  Also list
any additional boards or processors required.  Include any suggested
or required configuration options.  Example: GeeWhiz run on all models
of Sun-3, Sun-4, Sun-386i, and on IBM PC/AT/XT and compatibles.>


SOFTWARE PLATFORMS:

<List operating systems, window systems, unbundled software packages,
etc. including version numbers.  Include any suggested or required
configuration options.  Example: Distributed and supported for Sun OS
version 4.0 and greater, and HP-UX version 7.0 and greater.>


AVAILABILITY: 

<State "openly available" or "commercially available".  Describe how 
software is acquired.  If openly available, state distribution 
conditions/restrictions. Include company or institution name, and 
point(s) of contact for distribution, technical information, sales.
