	Title		: Wide Area Directory Deployment Experiences

The TISDAG (Technical Infrastructure for Swedish Directory Access
Gateway) project provided valuable insight into the current reality
of deploying a wide-scale directory service.  This document
catalogues some of the experiences gained in developing the necessary
infrastructure for a national (i.e., multi-organizational) directory
service and pilot deployment of the service in an environment with
off-the-shelf directory service products.  A perspective on the
project's relationship to other directory deployment projects is
provided, along with some proposals for future extensions of the work
(larger scale deployment, other application areas).

These are our own observations, based on work done and general
project discussions. No doubt, other project participants have their
own list of project experiences; we don't claim this document is
exhaustive!

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
