A small problem with the BNF. OSI-DS 23 osi-ds-23-03.ps osi-ds-23-03.txt A String Representation of Distinguished Names S.E. Hardcastle-Kille April 1992 Abstract: The OSI Directory uses distinguished names as the primary keys to entries in the directory. Distinguished Names are encoded in ASN.1. When a distinguished name is communicated between to users not using a directory protocol (e.g., in a mail message), there is a need to have a user-oriented string representation of distinguished name. The following topics may be obtained from the info-server using a request in the form: request: osi-ds topic: <one of topics the below> For example: From: Joe.Soap@somedomain To: info-server@cs.ucl.ac.uk Subject: Anything you like request: osi-ds topic: scope.txt Files are available in Text, Postscript or both. FILENAME.txt for plain text format FILENAME.ps for postscript Note that not all the files are available in all the formats. All documents are numbered, in the form OSI-DS nnn or OSI-DS-MINUTES nnn The files are also available by FTP, NIFTP, and FTAM. FTP to CS.UCL.AC.UK, username anonymous and your own name as password cd osi-ds; FTAM to bells, computer science, university college london, gb username = anon, no password NIFTP to uk.ac.ucl.cs, binary mode, username = guest, password = (Your mail address in the form user@site) filenames should be prepended with <OSI-DS> (Note that the angle brackets and capital letters are vital)
