Abstract

This document describes a mechanism for distributed configuration
     of similar directory user agents.  This document defines a schema
     for configuration of these DUAs that may be discovered using the
     Lightweight Directory Access Protocol in RFC 2251[1].  A set of
     attribute types and an objectclass are proposed, along with
     specific guidelines for interpreting them.  A proposal of using
     attribute and objectclass mapping allows DUAs to re-configure their
     schema to that of the end user's environment. This document is
     intended to be a skeleton for future documents that describe
     configuration of specific DUA services.

Internet-Draft          DUA Configuration Schema              March 2005

1.  Background & Motivation

The LDAP protocol has brought about a new and nearly ubiquitous
     acceptance of the directory server.  Many new client applications
     (DUAs) are being created that use LDAP directories for many
     different services.  And although the LDAP protocol has eased the
     development of these applications, some challenges still exist for
     both developers and directory administrators.

The authors of this document are implementers of DUAs described by
     RFC 2307 [2].  In developing these agents, we felt there are
     several issues that still need to be addressed to ease the
     deployment and configuration of a large network of these DUAs.

One of these challenges stems from the lack of a utopian schema.  A
     utopian schema would be one that every application developer could
     agree upon and that would support every application.  Unfortunately
     today, many DUAs define their own schema (like RFC 2307 vs.
     Microsoft's Services for Unix [3]) containing similar attributes,
     but with different attribute names.  This can lead to data
     redundancy within directory entries and give directory
     administrators unwanted challenges, updating schemas and
     synchronizing data.

So, one goal of this document is to eliminate data redundancy by
     having DUAs configure themselves to the schema of the deployed
     directory, instead of forcing its own schema on the directory.

Another goal of this document is to provide the DUA with enough
     configuration information so that it can discover how to retrieve
     its data in the directory, such as what locations to search in the
     directory tree.

Finally, this document intends to describe a configuration method
     for DUAs that can be shared among many DUAs, on various platforms,
     providing as such, a configuration profile, the purpose is to
     centralize and simplify management of DUAs.

This document is intended to provide the skeleton framework for
     future drafts, which will describe the individual implementation
     details for the particular services provided by that DUA.  The
     authors of this document plan to develop such a document for the
     Network Information Service DUA, described by RFC 2307 or its
     successor.

We expect that as DUAs take advantage of this configuration scheme,
     each DUA will require additional configuration parameters, not
     specified by this document.  Thus, we would expect that new

Internet-Draft          DUA Configuration Schema              March 2005

auxiliary object classes, containing new configuration attributes
     will be created, and then joined with the structural class defined
     by this document to create a configuration profile for a particular
     DUA service.  And that by joining various auxiliary objectclasses
     for different DUA services, that configuration of various DUA
     services can be controlled by a single configuration profile entry.

2.  General Issues

The schema defined by this document is defined under the "DUA
     Configuration Schema."  This schema is derived from the OID: iso
     (1) org (3) dod (6) internet (1) private (4) enterprises (1)
     Hewlett-Packard Company (11) directory (1) LDAP-UX Integration
     Project (3) DUA Configuration Schema (1).  This OID is represented
     in this document by the keystring "DUAConfSchemaOID"
     (1.3.6.1.4.1.11.1.3.1).

2.1 Terminology

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
     "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED",  "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in
     this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 (RFC
     2119) [4].

2.2 Attributes

The attributes and classes defined in this document are summarized
     below.

The following attributes are defined in this document:

preferredServerList
          defaultServerList
          defaultSearchBase
          defaultSearchScope
          authenticationMethod
          credentialLevel

5.  Implementation Details

5.1.1 Interpreting the preferredServerList attribute

Interpretation:

As described by the syntax, the preferredServerList parameter
          is a white-space separated list of server addresses and
          associated port numbers.  When the DUA needs to contact a DSA,
          the DUA MUST first attempt to contact one of the servers
          listed in the preferredServerList attribute.  The DUA MUST
          contact the DSA specified by the first server address in the
          list.  If that DSA is unavailable, the remaining DSAs MUST be
          queried in the order provided (left to right) until a
          connection is established with a DSA.  Once a connection with
          a DSA is established, the DUA SHOULD NOT attempt to establish
          a connection with the remaining DSAs.  The purpose of
          enumerating multiple DSAs is not for supplemental data, but
          for high availability of replicated data.  This is also the
          main reason why an LDAP URL[10] syntax was not selected for
          this document.

If the DUA is unable to contact any of the DSAs specified by
          the preferredServerList, the defaultServerList attribute MUST
          be examined, as described in 5.1.2.  The servers identified by
          the preferredServerList MUST be contacted before attempting to
          contact any of the servers specified by the defaultServerList.

Syntax:

serverList       = hostport *(space [hostport])

Neal-Joslin                                                    [Page 9]

Internet-Draft          DUA Configuration Schema              March 2005

Default Value:

The preferredServerList attribute does not have a default
          value.  Instead a DUA MUST examine the defaultServerList
          attribute.

Other attribute notes:

This attribute is used in conjunction with the
          defaultServerList attribute.  Please see section 5.1.2 for
          additional implementation notes.  Determining how the DUA
          should query the DSAs also depends on the additional
          configuration attributes, credentialLevel,
          serviceCredentialLevel, bindTimeLimit,
          serviceAuthenticationMethod and authenticationMethod.  Please
          review section 5.2 for details on how a DUA should properly
          bind to a DSA.

Example:

preferredServerList: 192.168.169.170 ldap1.mycorp.com
            ldap2:1389 [1080::8:800:200C:417A]:389

5.1.2 Interpreting the defaultServerList attribute

Interpretation:

The defaultServerList attribute MUST only be examined if the
          preferredServerList attribute is not provided, or the DUA is
          unable to establish a connection with one of the DSAs
          specified by the preferredServerList.

If more than one address is provided, the DUA may choose to
          either accept the order provided, or choose to create its own
          order, based on what the DUA determines is the "best" order of
          servers to query.  For example, the DUA may choose to examine
          the server list and choose to query the DSAs in order based on
          the "closest" server or the server with the least amount of
          "load." Interpretation of the "best" server order is entirely
          up to the DUA, and not part of this document.

Once the order of server addresses is determined, the DUA
          contacts the DSA specified by the first server address in the
          list.  If that DSA is unavailable, the remaining DSAs SHOULD
          be queried until an available DSA is found or no more DSAs are
          available.  If a server address or port is invalid, the DUA
          SHOULD proceed to the next server address as described just
          above.

Neal-Joslin                                                   [Page 10]

Internet-Draft          DUA Configuration Schema              March 2005

Syntax:

serverList       = hostport *(space [hostport])

Default Value:

If a defaultServerList attribute is not provided, the DUA MAY
          attempt to contact the same DSA that provided the
          configuration profile entry itself.  The default DSA is
          contacted only if the preferredServerList attribute is also
          not provided.

Other attribute notes:

This attribute is used in conjunction with the
          preferredServerList attribute.  Please see section 5.1.1 for
          additional implementation notes.  Determining how the DUA
          should query the DSAs also depends on the additional
          configuration attributes, credentialLevel,
          serviceCredentialLevel, bindTimeLimit,
          serviceAuthenticationMethod and authenticationMethod.  Please
          review section 5.2 for details on how a DUA should properly
          contact a DSA.

Example:

defaultServerList: 192.168.169.170 ldap1.mycorp.com
            ldap2:1389 [1080::8:800:200C:417A]:5912

5.1.3 Interpreting the defaultSearchBase attribute

Interpretation:

When a DUA needs to search the DSA for information, this
          attribute provides the base for the search.  This parameter
          can be overridden or appended by the serviceSearchDescriptor
          attribute.  See section 5.1.6.

Syntax:

Defined by OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.12 [5]

Default Value:

There is no default value for the defaultSearchBase.  A DUA
          MAY define its own method for determining the search base, if
          the defaultSearchBase is not provided.

Internet-Draft          DUA Configuration Schema              March 2005

Other attribute notes:

This attribute is used in conjunction with the
          serviceSearchDescriptor attribute.  See section 5.1.6.

Example:

defaultSearchBase: dc=mycompany,dc=com

5.1.4 Interpreting the authenticationMethod attribute

Interpretation:

The authenticationMethod attribute defines an ordered list of
          LDAP bind methods to be used when attempting to contact a
          DSA[11].   The serviceAuthenticationMethod overrides this
          value for a particular service (see 5.1.15.)  Each method MUST
          be attempted in the order provided by the attribute, until a
          successful LDAP bind is performed ("none" is assumed to always
          be successful.) However the DUA MAY skip over one or more
          methods.  See section 5.2 for more information.

none   - The DUA does not perform an LDAP bind.
            simple - The DUA performs an LDAP simple bind.
            sasl   - The DUA performs an LDAP SASL[12] bind using the
                     specified SASL mechanism and options.
            tls    - The DUA performs an LDAP StartTLS operation
                     followed by the specified bind method (for more
                     information refer to section 5.1 of RFC 2830 [13]).

Syntax:

authMethod  = method *(";" method)
          method      = none | simple | sasl | tls
          none        = "none"
          simple      = "simple"
          sasl        = "sasl/" saslmech [ ":" sasloption ]
          sasloption  = "auth-conf" | "auth-int"
          tls         = "tls:" (none | simple | sasl)
          saslmech    = SASL mechanism name as defined in [18]

Note: Although multiple authentication methods may be
          specified in the syntax, at most one of each type is allowed.
          I.E. "simple;simple" is invalid.

Default Value:

If the authenticationMethod or serviceAuthenticationMethod

Neal-Joslin                                                   [Page 12]

Internet-Draft          DUA Configuration Schema              March 2005

(for that particular service) attributes are not provided, the
          DUA MAY choose to bind to the DSA using any method defined by
          the DUA.  However, if either authenticationMethod or
          serviceAuthenticationMethod are provided, the DUA MUST only
          use the methods specified.

Other attribute notes:

When using TLS, the string "tls:sasl/EXTERNAL" implies that
          two way (DSA and DUA) authentication is to be performed.  Any
          other TLS authentication method implies one way (DSA side
          credential) authentication.

Determining how the DUA should bind to the DSAs also depends
          on the additional configuration attributes, credentialLevel,
          serviceCredentialLevel, serviceAuthenticationMethod and
          bindTimeLimit.  Please review section 5.2 for details on how
          to properly bind to a DSA.

Example:

authenticationMethod: tls:simple;sasl/DIGEST-MD5
          (see [14])

5.1.5 Interpreting the credentialLevel attribute

Interpretation:

The credentialLevel attribute defines what type(s) of
          credential(s) the DUA MUST use when contacting the DSA.  The
          serviceCredentialLevel overrides this value for a particular
          service (5.1.16.)  The credentialLevel can contain more than
          one credential type, separated by white space.

anonymous - The DUA SHOULD NOT use a credential when binding
          to the DSA.

proxy - The DUA SHOULD use a known proxy identity when binding
          to the DSA.  A proxy identity is a specific credential that
          was created to represent the DUA.  This document does not
          define how the proxy user should be created, or how the DUA
          should determine what the proxy user's credential is.  This
          functionality is up to each implementation.

self - When the DUA is acting on behalf of a known identity,
          the DUA MUST attempt to bind to the DSA as that identity.  The
          DUA should contain methods to determine the identity of the
          user such that that identity can be authenticated by the

Neal-Joslin                                                   [Page 13]

Internet-Draft          DUA Configuration Schema              March 2005

directory server using the defined authentication methods.

If the credentialLevel contains more than one credential type,
          the DUA MUST use the credential types in the order specified.
          However, the DUA MAY skip over one or more credential types.
          As soon as the DUA is able to successfully bind to the DSA,
          the DUA SHOULD NOT attempt to bind using the remaining
          credential types.

Syntax:

credentialLevel   = level *(space level)
          level             = self | proxy | anonymous
          self              = "self"
          proxy             = "proxy"
          anonymous         = "anonymous"

Note: Although multiple credential levels may be specified in
          the syntax, at most one of each type is allowed.  Refer to
          implementation notes in section 5.2 for additional syntax
          requirements for the credentialLevel attribute.

Default Value:

If the credentialLevel attribute is not defined, the DUA
          SHOULD NOT use a credential when binding to the DSA (also
          known as anonymous.)

Other attribute notes:

Determining how the DUA should bind to the DSAs also depends
          on the additional configuration attributes,
          authenticationMethod, serviceAuthenticationMethod,
          serviceCredentialLevel and bindTimeLimit.  Please review
          section 5.2 for details on how to properly bind to a DSA.

Example:

credentialLevel: proxy anonymous

5.1.6 Interpreting the serviceSearchDescriptor attribute

Interpretation:

The serviceSearchDescriptor attribute defines how and where a
          DUA SHOULD search for information for a particular service.
          The serviceSearchDescriptor contains a serviceID, followed by
          one or more base-scope-filter triples.  These base-scope-

Neal-Joslin                                                   [Page 14]

Internet-Draft          DUA Configuration Schema              March 2005

filter triples are used to define searches only for the
          specific service.  Multiple base-scope-filters allow the DUA
          to search for data in multiple locations of the DIT.  Although
          this syntax is very similar to the LDAP URL[8], this draft
          requires the ability to supply multiple hosts as part of the
          configuration of the DSA.  In addition, an ordered list of
          search descriptors is required, which can not be specified by
          the LDAP URL.

In addition to the triples, serviceSearchDescriptor might also
          contain the DN of an entry that will contain an alternate
          profile.  The DSA SHOULD re-evaluate the alternate profile and
          perform searches as specified by that profile.

If the base, as defined in the serviceSearchDescriptor, is
          followed by the "," (ASCII 0x2C) character, this base is known
          as a relative base.  This relative base may be constructed of
          one or more RDN components.  The DUA MUST define the search
          base by appending the relative base with the
          defaultSearchBase.

Syntax:

serviceSearchList = serviceID ":" serviceSearchDesc
                              *(";" serviceSearchDesc)
          serviceSearchDesc = confReferral | searchDescriptor
          searchDescriptor  = [base] ["?" [scope] ["?" [filter]]]
          confReferral      = "ref:" DistinguishedName
          base              = DistinguishedName |
                              RelativeBaseName
          RelativeBaseName  = 1*(RelativeDistinguishedName ",")
          filter            = UTF-8 encoded string

If the base or filter contains the ";" (ASCII 0x3B) "?" (ASCII
          0x3F) """ (ASCII 0x22) or "\" (ASCII 0x5C) characters, those
          characters MUST be escaped (preceded with the "\" character.)
          Alternately the DN may be surrounded by quotes (ASCII 0x22.)
          Refer to RFC 2253, section 4.  If the base or filter are
          surrounded by quotes, only the """ character needs to be
          escaped.  Any character that is preceded by the "\" character,
          which does not need to be escaped results in both "\"
          character and the character itself.

The usage and syntax of the filter string MUST be defined by
          the DUA service.  A suggested syntax would be that as defined
          by RFC 2254.

If a DUA is performing a search for a particular service,

Neal-Joslin                                                   [Page 15]

Internet-Draft          DUA Configuration Schema              March 2005

which has a serviceSearchDescriptor defined, the DUA MUST set
          the base, scope and filter as defined.  Each base-scope-filter
          triple represents a single LDAP search operation.  If multiple
          base-scope-filter triples are provided in the
          serviceSearchDescriptor, the DUA SHOULD perform multiple
          search requests and in that case it MUST be in the order
          specified by the serviceSearchDescriptor.

FYI: Service search descriptors do not exactly follow the LDAP
          URL syntax [7].  The reasoning for this difference is to
          separate the host name(s) from the filter.  This allows the
          DUA to have a more flexible solution in choosing its DSA.

Default Values:

If a serviceSearchDescriptor, or an element their-of, is not
          defined for a particular service, the DUA SHOULD create the
          base, scope and filter as follows:

base   - Same as the defaultSearchBase or as
                     defined by the DUA service.
            scope  - Same as the defaultSearchScope or as
                     defined by the DUA service.
            filter - Use defaults as defined by DUAs service.

If the defaultSearchBase or defaultSearchScope are not
          defined, then the DUA service may use its own default.

Other attribute notes:

If a serviceSearchDescriptor exists for a given service, the
          service MUST use at least one base-scope-filter triple in
          performing searches.  It SHOULD perform multiple searches per
          service if multiple base-scope-filter triples are defined for
          that service.

The details of how the "filter" is interpreted by each DUA's
          service is defined by that service.  This means the filter is
          NOT REQUIRED to be a legal LDAP filter [15].  Furthermore,
          determining how attribute and objectclass mapping affects that
          search filter MUST be defined by the service.  I.E. The DUA
          SHOULD specify if the attributes in the filter have assumed to
          already have been mapped, or if it is expected that attribute
          mapping (see 5.1.7) would be applied to the filter.  In
          general practice, implementation and usability suggests that
          attribute and objectclass mapping (sections 5.1.7 and 5.1.13)
          SHOULD NOT be applied to the filter defined in the

Neal-Joslin                                                   [Page 16]

Internet-Draft          DUA Configuration Schema              March 2005

serviceSearchDescriptor.

It is assumed the serviceID is unique to a given service
          within the scope of any DUA that might use the given profile.

Example:

defaultSearchBase: dc=mycompany,dc=com

serviceSearchDescriptor: email:ou=people,ou=org1,?
           one;ou=contractor,?one;
           ref:cn=profile,dc=mycompany,dc=com

In this example, the DUA MUST search in
          "ou=people,ou=org1,dc=mycompany,dc=com" first.  The DUA then
          SHOULD search in "ou=contractor,dc=mycompany,dc=com", and
          finally it SHOULD search other locations as specified in the
          profile described at "cn=profile,dc=mycompany,dc=com".  For
          more examples, see section 9.

5.1.7 Interpreting the attributeMap attribute

Interpretation:

A DUA SHOULD perform attribute mapping for all LDAP operations
          performed for a service that has an attributeMap entry.
          Because attribute mapping is specific to each service within
          the DUA, a "serviceID" is required as part of the attributeMap
          syntax.  I.E. not all DUA services should necessarily perform
          the same attribute mapping.

Attribute mapping in general is expected be used to map
          attributes of similar syntaxes as specified by the service
          supported by the DUA.  However, a DUA is NOT REQUIRED to
          verify syntaxes of mapped attributes.  If the DUA does
          discover that the syntax of the mapped attribute does not
          match that of the original attribute, the DUA MAY perform
          translation between the original syntax and the new syntax.
          When DUAs do support attribute value translation, the list of
          capable translations SHOULD be documented in a description of
          the DUA service.

Syntax:

attributeMap      = serviceID ":" origAttribute "="
                              attributes
          origAttribute     = attribute

Neal-Joslin                                                   [Page 17]

Internet-Draft          DUA Configuration Schema              March 2005

attributes        = wattribute *( space wattribute )
          wattribute        = whsp newAttribute whsp
          newAttribute      = descr | "*NULL*"
          attribute         = descr

Values of the origAttribute are defined by and SHOULD be
          documented for the DUA service, as a list of known supported
          attributes.

Default Value:

By default, attributes that are used by a DUA service are not
          mapped unless mapped by the attributeMap attributes.  The DUA
          MUST NOT map an attribute unless it is explicitly defined by
          an attributeMap attribute.

Other attribute notes:

When an attribute is mapped to the special keystring "*NULL*",
          the DUA SHOULD NOT request that attribute from the DSA, when
          performing a search or compare request.  If the DUA is also
          capable of performing modification on the DSA, the DUA SHOULD
          NOT attempt to modify any attribute which has been mapped to
          "*NULL*".

It is assumed the serviceID is unique to a given service
          within the scope of the DSA.

A DUA SHOULD support attribute mapping.  If it does, the
          following additional rules apply:

1) The list of attributes that are allowed to be mapped SHOULD
          defined by and documented for the service.

2) Any supported translation of mapping from attributes of
          dissimilar syntax SHOULD also be defined and documented.

3) If an attribute may be mapped to multiple attributes the
          DSA SHOULD define a syntax or usage statement for how the new
          attribute value will be constructed.  Furthermore, the
          resulting translated syntax of the combined attributes MUST be
          the same as the attribute being mapped.

4) A DUA MUST support mapping of attributes using the
          attribute OID.  It SHOULD support attribute mapping based on
          the attribute name.

5) It is recommended that attribute mapping not be applied to

Neal-Joslin                                                   [Page 18]

Internet-Draft          DUA Configuration Schema              March 2005

parents of the target entries.

6) Attribute mapping is not recursive.  In other words, if an
          attribute has been mapped to a target attribute, that new
          target attribute MUST NOT be mapped to a third attribute.

7) A given attribute MUST only be mapped once for a given
          service.

Example:

Suppose a DUA is acting on behalf of an email service.  By
          default the "email" service uses the "mail", "cn" and "sn"
          attributes to discover mail addresses.  However, the email
          service has been deployed in an environment that uses
          "employeeName" instead of "cn."  And also instead of using the
          "mail" attribute for email addresses, the "email" attribute is
          used for that purpose.  In this case, the attribute "cn" can
          be mapped to "employeeName," allowing the DUA to perform
          searches using the "employeeName" attribute as part of the
          search filter, instead of "cn".  And "mail" can be mapped to
          "email" when attempting to retrieve the email address.  This
          mapping is performed by adding the attributeMap attributes to
          the configuration profile entry as follows (represented in
          LDIF[16]):

attributeMap: email:cn=employeeName
          attributeMap: email:mail=email

As described above, the DUA MAY also map a single attribute to
          multiple attributes.  When mapping a single attribute to more
          than one attribute, the new syntax or usage of the mapped
          attribute must be intrinsically defined by the DUAs service.

attributeMap: email:cn=firstName lastName

In the above example, the DUA creates the new value by
          generating space separated string using the values of the
          mapped attributes.  In this case, a special mapping must be
          defined so that a proper search filter can be created.  For
          further information on this example, please refer to section
          9.

Another possibility for multiple attribute mapping might come
          in when constructing returned attributes.  For example,
          perhaps all email addresses are of a guaranteed syntax of
          "uid@domain".  And in this example, the uid and domain are

Neal-Joslin                                                   [Page 19]

Internet-Draft          DUA Configuration Schema              March 2005

separate attributes in the directory.  The email service may
          define that if the "mail" attribute is mapped to two different
          attributes, it will construct the email address as a
          concatenation of the uid and domain attributes, placing the
          "@" character between them.

attributeMap: email:mail=uid domain

5.1.8 Interpreting the searchTimeLimit attribute

Interpretation:

The searchTimeLimit attribute defines the maximum time, in
          seconds, that a DUA SHOULD allow to perform a search request.

Syntax:

Defined by OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.27. [5]

Default Value:

If the searchTimeLimit attribute is not defined or is zero,
          the search time limit is not enforced by the DUA.

Other attribute notes:

This time limit only includes the amount of time required to
          perform the LDAP search operation.  If other operations are
          required, those operations do not need to be considered part
          of the search time.  See bindTimeLimit for the LDAP bind
          operation.

5.1.9 Interpreting the bindTimeLimit attribute

Interpretation:

The bindTimeLimit attribute defines the maximum time, in
          seconds, that a DUA SHOULD allow to perform an LDAP bind
          request against each server on the preferredServerList or
          defaultServerList.

Syntax:

Defined by OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.27.

Default Value:

Internet-Draft          DUA Configuration Schema              March 2005

If the bindTimeLimit attribute is not defined or is zero, the
          bind time limit is not enforced by the DUA.

Other attribute notes:

This time limit only includes the amount of time required to
          perform the LDAP bind operation.  If other operations are
          required, those operations do not need to be considered part
          of the bind time.  See searchTimeLimit for the LDAP search
          operation.

5.1.10 Interpreting the followReferrals attribute

Interpretation:

If set to TRUE, the DUA SHOULD follow any referrals if
          discovered.

If set to FALSE, the DUA MUST NOT follow referrals.

Syntax:

Defined by OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.7. [5]

Default Value:

If the followReferrals attribute is not set or set to an
          invalid value the default value is TRUE.

5.1.11 Interpreting the dereferenceAliases attribute

Interpretation:

If set to TRUE, the DUA SHOULD enable alias dereferencing.

If set to FALSE, the DUA MUST NOT enable alias dereferencing.

Syntax:

Defined by OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.7.

Default Value:

If the dereferenceAliases attribute is not set or set to an
          invalid value the default value is TRUE.

5.1.12 Interpreting the profileTTL attribute

Neal-Joslin                                                   [Page 21]

Internet-Draft          DUA Configuration Schema              March 2005

Interpretation:

The profileTTL attribute defines how often the DUA SHOULD re-
          load and reconfigure itself using the corresponding
          configuration profile entry.  The value is represented in
          seconds.  Once a DUA reloads the profile entry, it SHOULD re-
          configure itself with the new values.

Syntax:

Defined by OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.27.

Default Value:

If not specified the DUA MAY use its own reconfiguration
          policy.

Other attribute notes:

If the profileTTL value is zero, the DUA SHOULD NOT
          automatically re-load the configuration profile.

5.1.13 Interpreting the objectclassMap attribute

Interpretation:

A DUA MAY perform objectclass mapping for all LDAP operations
          performed for a service that has an objectclassMap entry.
          Because objectclass mapping is specific for each service
          within the DUA, a "serviceID" is required as part of the
          objectclassMap syntax.  I.E. Not all DUA services should
          necessarily perform the same objectclass mapping.

Objectclass mapping SHOULD be used in conjunction with
          attribute mapping to map the required schema by the service to
          an equivalent schema that is available in the directory.

Objectclass mapping may or may not be required by a DUA.
          Often, the objectclass attribute is used in search filters.
          If a service search descriptor is provided, it is expected
          that the search filter contains a "correct" search filter
          (though this is not a requirement,) which does not need to be
          re-mapped.  However, when the service search descriptor is not
          provided, and the default search filter for that service
          contains the objectclass attribute, that search filter SHOULD
          be re-defined by objectclass mapping.  If a default search
          filter is not used, it SHOULD be re-defined through the
          serviceSearchDescriptor.  If a serviceSearchDescriptor is

Neal-Joslin                                                   [Page 22]

Internet-Draft          DUA Configuration Schema              March 2005

defined for a particular service, it SHOULD NOT be re-mapped
          by either the objectclassMap or attributeMap values.

One condition where the objectclassMap SHOULD be used is when
          the DUA is providing gateway functionality.  In this case, the
          DUA is acting on behalf of another service, which may pass in
          a search filter itself.  In this type of DUA, the DUA may
          alter the search filter according to the appropriate
          attributeMap and objectclassMap values.  And in this case, it
          is also assumed that a serviceSearchDescriptor is not defined.

Syntax:

objectclassMap    = serviceID ":" origObjectclass "="
                              objectclass
          origObjectclass   = objectclass
          objectclass       = keystring

Values of the origObjectclass depend on the type of DUA
          Service using the objectclass mapping feature.

Default Value:

The DUA MUST NOT remap an objectclass unless it is explicitly
          defined by an objectclassMap attribute.

Other attribute notes:

A DUA SHOULD support objectclass mapping.  If it does, the DUA
          MUST support mapping of objectclasses using the objectclass
          OID.  It SHOULD support objectclass mapping based on the
          objectclass name.

It is assumed the serviceID is unique to a given service
          within the scope of the DSA.

Example:

Suppose a DUA is acting on behalf of an email service.  By
          default the "email" service uses the "mail", "cn" and "sn"
          attributes to discover mail addresses in entries created using
          inetOrgPerson objectclass[17].  However, the email service has
          been deployed in an environment that uses entries created
          using "employee" objectclass.  In this case, the attribute
          "cn" can be mapped to "employeeName", and "inetOrgPerson" can
          be mapped to "employee", allowing the DUA to perform LDAP
          operations using the entries that exist in the directory.
          This mapping is performed by adding attributeMap and

Neal-Joslin                                                   [Page 23]

Internet-Draft          DUA Configuration Schema              March 2005

objectclassMap attributes to the configuration profile entry
          as follows (represented in LDIF[16]):

attributeMap: email:cn=employeeName
          objectclassMap: email:inetOrgPerson=employee

5.1.14 Interpreting the defaultSearchScope attribute

Interpretation:

When a DUA needs to search the DSA for information, this
          attribute provides the "scope" for the search.  This parameter
          can be overridden by the serviceSearchDescriptor attribute.
          See section 5.1.6.

Syntax:

scopeSyntax   = "base" | "one" | "sub"

Default Value:

The default value for the defaultSearchScope SHOULD be defined
          by the DUA service.  If the default search scope for a service
          is not defined then the scope SHOULD be for the DUA to perform
          a subtree search.

5.1.15 Interpreting the serviceAuthenticationMethod attribute

Interpretation:

The serviceAuthenticationMethod attribute defines an ordered
          list of LDAP bind methods to be used when attempting to
          contact a DSA for a particular service.  Interpretation and
          use of this attribute is the same as 5.1.4, but specific for
          each service.

Syntax:

svAuthMethod    = service ":" method *(";" method)

Note: Although multiple authentication methods may be
          specified in the syntax, at most one of each type is allowed.

Default Value:

If the serviceAuthenticationMethod attribute is not provided,

Neal-Joslin                                                   [Page 24]

Internet-Draft          DUA Configuration Schema              March 2005

the authenticationMethod SHOULD be followed, or its default.

Other attribute notes:

Determining how the DUA should bind to the DSAs also depends
          on the additional configuration attributes, credentialLevel,
          serviceCredentialLevel and bindTimeLimit.  Please review
          section 5.2 for details on how to properly bind to a DSA.

Example:

serviceAuthenticationMethod: email:tls:simple;sasl/DIGEST-MD5

5.1.16 Interpreting the serviceCredentialLevel attribute

Interpretation:

The serviceCredentialLevel attribute defines what type(s) of
          credential(s) the DUA SHOULD use when contacting the DSA for a
          particular service.  Interpretation and used of this attribute
          are the same as 5.1.5.

Syntax:

svCredentialLevel = service ":" level *(space level)

Refer to implementation notes in section 5.2 for additional
          syntax requirements for the credentialLevel attribute.

Note: Although multiple credential levels may be specified in
          the syntax, at most one of each type is allowed.

Default Value:

If the serviceCredentialLevel attribute is not defined, the
          DUA MUST examine the credentialLevel attribute, or follow its
          default if not provided.

Other attribute notes:

Determining how the DUA should bind to the DSAs also depends
          on the additional configuration attributes,
          serviceAuthenticationMethod, authenticationMethod and
          bindTimeLimit.  Please review section 5.2 for details on how
          to properly bind to a DSA.

Example:

Internet-Draft          DUA Configuration Schema              March 2005

serviceCredentialLevel: email:proxy anonymous

5.2 Binding to the Directory Server

The DUA SHOULD use the following algorithm when binding to the
     server:

for (clevel in credLevel) [see note 1]
       if (clevel is "anonymous")
         for (host in hostnames) [see note 2]
           if (server is responding)
             return success
         return failure
       else
         for (amethod in authMethod) [see note 3]
           if (amethod is none)
             for (host in hostnames)
               if (server is responding)
                 return success
             return failure
           else
             for (host in hostnames)
               authenticate using amethod and clevel
               if (authentication passed)
                 return success
     return failure

Note 1: The credLevel is a list of credential levels as defined
             in serviceCredentialLevel (section 5.1.16) for a given
             service.  If the serviceCredentialLevel is not defined,
             the DUA MUST examine the credentialLevel attribute.

Note 2: hostnames is the list of servers to contact as defined
             in 5.1.1 & 5.1.2.

Note 3: The authMethod a list of authentication methods as defined
             in serviceAuthenticationMethod (section 5.1.15) for a
             given service.  If the serviceAuthenticationMethod is not
             defined, the DUA MUST examine the authenticationMethod
             attribute.

6.  Security Considerations

The profile entries MUST be protected against unauthorized
     modification.  Each service needs to consider implications of

Neal-Joslin                                                   [Page 26]

Internet-Draft          DUA Configuration Schema              March 2005

providing its service configuration as part of this profile and
     limit access to the profile entries accordingly.

The management of the authentication credentials for the DUA is
     outside the scope of this document and needs to be handled by the
     DUA.

Since the DUA needs to know how to properly bind to the directory
     server, the access control configuration of the DSA MUST assure
     that the DSA can view all the elements of the DUAConfigProfile
     attributes.  For example, if the credentialLevel attribute contains
     "Self" but the DSA is unable to access the credentialLevel
     attribute, the DUA will instead attempt an anonymous connection to
     the directory server.

The algorithm described by section 5.2 also has security
     considerations.  Altering that design will alter the security
     aspects of the configuration profile.

9.  Examples

In this section we will describe a fictional DUA which provides one
     service, called the "email" service.  This service would be similar
     to an email client that uses an LDAP directory to discover email
     addresses based on a textual representation of the recipient's
     colloquial name.

This email service is defined by default to expect that users with
     email addresses will be of the "inetOrgPerson" objectclass type
     [17].  And by default, the "email" service expects the colloquial
     name to be stored in the "cn" attribute, while it expects the email
     address to be stored in the "mail" attribute (as one would expect
     as defined by the inetOrgPerson objectclass.)

As a special feature, the "email" service will perform a special
     type of attribute mapping, when performing searches.  If the "cn"
     attribute has been mapped to two or more attributes, the "email"
     service will parse the requested search string and map each white-
     space separated token into the mapped attributes, respectively.

The default search filter for the "email" service is
     "(objectclass=inetOrgPerson)".  The email service also defines that
     when it performs a name to address discovery, it will wrap the
     search filter inside a complex search filter as follows:

(&(<filter>)(cn~=<name string>)

or if "cn" has been mapped to multiple attributes, that wrapping
     would appear as follows:

(&(<filter>)(attr1~=<token1>)(attr2~=<token2>)...)

Neal-Joslin                                                   [Page 29]

Internet-Draft          DUA Configuration Schema              March 2005

The below examples show how the "email" service builds it search
     requests, based on the defined profile.  In all cases, the
     defaultSearchBase is "o=airius.com" and the defaultSearchScope is
     undefined.

In addition, for all examples, we assume that the "email" service
     has been requested to discover the email address for "Jane
     Hernandez."

Example 1:

serviceSearchDescriptor: email:"ou=marketing,"

base: ou=marketing,o=airius.com
     scope: sub
     filter: (&(objectclass=inetOrgPerson)(cn~=Jane Hernandez))

Example 2:

serviceSearchDescriptor: email:"ou=marketing,"?one?
      (&(objectclass=inetOrgPerson)(c=us))
     attributeMap: email:cn=2.5.4.42 sn

Note: 2.5.4.42 is the OID that represents the "givenName"
     attribute.

In this example, the email service performs <name string> parsing
     as described above to generate a complex search filter.  The above
     example results in one search.

base: ou=marketing,o=airius.com
     scope: one
     filter: (&(&(objectclass=inetOrgPerson)(c=us))
                 (2.5.4.42~=Jane)(sn~=Hernandez))

Example 3:

serviceSearchDescriptor: email:ou=marketing,"?base
     attributeMap: email:cn=name

This example is invalid, because either the quote should have been
     escaped, or there should have been a leading quote.

Example 4:

serviceSearchDescriptor: email:ou=\mar\\keting,\"?base
     attributeMap: email:cn=name

Internet-Draft          DUA Configuration Schema              March 2005

base: ou=\mar\keting,"
     scope: base
     filter (&(objectclass=inetOrgPerson)(name~=Jane Hernandez))

Example 5:

serviceSearchDescriptor: email:ou="marketing",o=supercom

This example is invalid, since the quote was not a leading quote,
     and thus should have been escaped.

Example 6:

serviceSearchDescriptor: email:??(&(objectclass=person)
                                      (ou=Org1 \$temporary\$))

base: o=airius.com
     scope: sub
     filter: (&((&(objectclass=person)(ou=Org1 $Temporary$))
               (cn~=Jane Henderson)))

Example 7:

serviceSearchDescriptor: email:"ou=funny?org,"

base: ou=funny?org,o=airius.com
     scope: sub
     filter (&(objectclass=inetOrgPerson)(cn~=Jane Hernandez))
