Naming Plan for Internet Directory-Enabled Applications
RFC 2377, “Naming Plan for Internet Directory-Enabled Applications”, is an Informational document published in September 1998 by A. Grimstad, R. Huber, S. Sataluri, M. Wahl. It has since been updated by RFC 4519. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Application of the conventional X.500 approach to naming has heretofore, in the experience of the authors, proven to be an obstacle to the wide deployment of directory-enabled applications on the Internet. We propose a new directory naming plan that leverages the strengths of the most popular and successful Internet naming schemes for naming objects in a hierarchical directory. This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind.
What “Informational” means
Published for the general information of the community. It does not define an IETF standard and carries no standards-track status.
