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
Neal-Joslin [Page 4]
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
serviceSearchDescriptor
serviceCredentialLevel
serviceAuthenticationMethod
attributeMap
objectclassMap
searchTimeLimit
bindTimeLimit
followReferrals
dereferenceAliases
profileTTL

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.
Neal-Joslin [Page 11]
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]

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:
Neal-Joslin [Page 20]
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:
Neal-Joslin [Page 25]
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
Neal-Joslin [Page 30]
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))
