Representing Tables and Subtrees in the X.500 Directory

Overview

RFC 2293, “Representing Tables and Subtrees in the X.500 Directory”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 1998 by S. Kille. It obsoletes RFC 1837. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document defines techniques for representing two types of information mapping in the OSI Directory: Mapping from a key to a value (or set of values), as might be done in a table lookup, and mapping from a distinguished name to an associated value (or values), where the values are not defined by the owner of the entry. This is achieved by use of a directory subtree. [STANDARDS-TRCK]

Abstract as published in the RFC, via rfc-editor.org.

What “Proposed Standard” means

An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
