Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission)
form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC
participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the
respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees
collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.
In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. In
addition to developing International Standards, ISO/IEC JTC 1 has created a Special Group on Functional
Standardization for the elaboration of International Standardized Profiles.
An International Standardized Profile is an internationally agreed harmonized document which identifies a standard
or group of standards, together with options and parameters, necessary to accomplish a function or a set of
functions.
Draft International Standardized Profiles are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standardized Profile requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
International Standardized Profile ISO/IEC ISP 11189 was prepared with the collaboration of
� Asia-Oceania Workshop (AOW);
� European Workshop for Open Systems (EWOS);
� Open Systems Environment Implementors' Workshop (OIW).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/IEC ISP 11189:1997), which has been technically
revised.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standardized Profile may be the
subject of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Annex A forms a normative part of this International Standardized Profile. Annex B is for information only.

ISO/IEC FDISP 11189: 1999 (E)                                 ãã
The concept and structure of International Standardised Profiles for
Information Systems are laid down in ISO/IEC TR 10000. The purpose of
an International Standardised Profile is to recommend when and how
certain information technology standards shall be used. This International
Standardised Profile ISO/IEC ISP 11189 specifies application profile FDI2
as defined in ISO/IEC TR 10000-2.
ISO/IEC 10616 profiles information to be stored within the directory which is
common to a variety of application. ISO/IEC ISP 11189 augments this
information by specific information for use with Message Handling Systems.
To support the implementation of the Directory as defined by ITU-T Rec.
X.500 - series of Recommendations | ISO/IEC 9594, this ISP gives
requirements that are applicable to implementations of DSAs. Additionally,
these requirements may guide Directory users and administrative
authorities in defining their needs for the use of the Directory.
The primary objective of this International Standardized Profile is to define
the minimum capabilities that DSAs must have to support an MHS
application's view of Directory information. It does this by specifying a
minimum set of structure and naming elements for the DIT which a DSA
must be capable of holding and accessing, and other minimum schema
requirements.
This International Standardized Profile does not limit DSAs to these
minimum capabilities - DSAs that comply with this ISP and which have no
additional information handling (storage, retrieval and modification)
capabilities may not be adequate for many purposes, and Implementors are
strongly encouraged to provide such additional capabilities.
Likewise, this International Standardized Profile does not limit Naming
Authorities in any way, e.g. restrict their selection of object classes or
naming attributes to those which are required to be supported by this
Profile. Rather, it guarantees that selections made within the scope of this
International Standardized Profile will be within the capabilities of DSAs
compliant with this International Standardized Profile.

To specify the support level of schema elements for this International Standardized Profile, the following
terminology is defined.
3.2.1
3.2.1.1 General
Mandatory requirement for support. A feature (object class, attribute type and associated attribute
syntax, structure element, or matching rule , or context ) is supported by a DSA implementation if
as specified in this International Standardized Profile.
3.2.1.2
Support of object classes by a DSA conformant with FDI2 requires the DSA to be able to store,
modify and retrieve, via Directory operations, an entry of its fragment of the DIT, if the entry is
c) The entry contains no other than MUST CONTAIN and MAY CONTAIN attributes of its object
3.2.1.3
a) The DSA shall perform, on the original inclusion or on a subsequent modification attempt of
an attribute, the checking algorithm which is associated with the syntax of the attribute, when
b) The DSA shall check that the number of attribute values complies with the multivalued
element of the attribute definition;
c) The DSA shall check that the attribute value(s) conform with the bounds defined in ITU-T
d) The DSA shall support the equality matching algorithm that is associated with the attribute,
and shall execute this matching algorithm in a manner that conforms with ITU-T Rec. X.500
series | ISO/IEC 9594 requirements as clarified in 9.3 of ISO/IEC ISP 10616.
NOTE - the word 'equality' has been added to the original FDI11 text in ISO/IEC ISP 10616 to avoid the
necessity of mandating all of the OR-Address and OR-Name attribute matching rules which have been
defined in ISO/IEC 10021.
e) The DSA shall support the attribute for each supported object class which references that
attribute.
f) The DSA shall be able to check values of the attribute syntax associated with the attribute for
syntactical correctness in compliance with limitations as defined by ITU-T Rec. X.520, annex C

- Attribute Syntaxes are separately defined in the 1988/90 editions of the Directory documents and
referenced by the 1988/92 editions of the Message Handling Systems documents. In the 1993/95
Directory documents and the 1995/7 Message Handling System documents, Attribute Syntaxes are
implicitly defined in the definition of Attributes.
3.2.1.4
Mandatory support of a matching rule implies the DSA’s ability to perform matches according to
rules defined in ITU-T Rec. X.520 | ISO/IEC 9594-6 as well as the rules defined in annex D
subclause 12.4 and the additional rules stated in ISO/IEC ISP 10616, 9.4. Support for a Matching
Rule implies that it is supported for all attributes which reference the matching rule;
3.2.1.5
(refer to clause 6 of ISO/IEC ISP 10616). The DSA complies with a structure element for an entry
of a particular structural object class if:
c) its RDN is formed using the naming attribute(s).
3.2.1.6
A DSA shall be able to store a list of contexts associated with each value of an attribute. It shall be able
to supply all the associated context properties with each att ribute when the values of an attribute are
read. Furthermore, the DSA shall be capable of selecting values of an attribute based on properties of
3.2.2
An implementation is not required to support the element (object class, attribute types and associated attribute
syntaxes, structure element or matching rule). If support is claimed, the element shall be treated as if it were
3.2.3
The element (object class, attribute type and associated attribute syntax, structure element or matching rule)
shall be supported under the conditions specified in this International Standardized Profile. If these conditions
are met, the element shall be treated as if it were specified as mandatory support. If these conditions are not
met, the element shall be treated as if it were specified as optional support.
