 A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
 directories. This draft is a work item of the Access, Searching and 
 Indexing of Directories Working Group of the IETF.                        

       Title     : An Approach for Using Domains in 
                   LDAP Distinguished Names

The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) uses X.500-compatible 
Distinguished Names for providing unique identifcation of entries.  
Distinguished Names in currently-deployed X.500 directories have the 
properties that they are descriptive, hierarchical, and follow common 
organizational models.  However, there is not today a universal 
registration mechanism to permit individuals and organizations to obtain 
Distinguished Names.                     
                                  
This document describes an experimental mechanism by which a name 
registered with the Internet Domain Name Service, for which there is an 
active registration service, can be represented as a Distinguished Name so 
that it may be used with the LDAP protocol.  This is not intended to have 
LDAP replace the DNS protocol, but to permit further deployment of LDAP 
into organizations connected to the Internet.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-asid-ldap-domains-00.txt".

NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net 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.

For questions, please mail to [e-mail]


Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
