Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (v3): UTF-8 String Representation of Distinguished Names

M. Wahl, S. Kille, T. Howes

Open publisher page 54 citations

Abstract

The X.500 Directory uses distinguished names as the primary keys to entries in the directory. Distinguished Names are encoded in ASN.1 in the X.500 Directory protocols. In the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, a string representation of distinguished names is transferred. This specification defines the string format for representing names, which is designed to give a clean representation of commonly used distinguished names, while being able to represent any distinguished name.
