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. Draft
International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication
as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
International Standard ISO/IEC 13248-1 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information
technology, Subcommittee SC 33, Distributed application services, in collaboration with ITU-T. The identical text is
published as ITU-T Recommendation X.583.
ISO/IEC 13248 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information technology — Open Systems
Interconnection — The Directory:
— Part 1: Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma for the Directory Access Protocol

Introduction
This Recommendation | International Standard has been produced to facilitate the interconnection of information
processing systems to provide directory services. The set of all such systems, together with the directory information
which they hold, can be viewed as an integrated whole, called the Directory The information held by the Directory,
collectively known as the Directory Information Base (DIB), is typically used to facilitate communication between, with
or about objects such as application entities, people, terminals and distribution lists.
The Directory plays a significant role in Open Systems Interconnection, whose aim is to allow, with a minimum of
technical agreement outside of the interconnection standards themselves, the interconnection of information processing
systems:
– from different manufacturers;
– under different management;
– of different levels of complexity; and
– of different ages.
To evaluate conformance of a particular implementation, it is necessary to have a statement of which capabilities and
options have been implemented for a given OSI protocol. Such statement is called a Protocol Implementation
Conformance Statement (PICS).
This Recommendation | International Standard provides the Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS)
proforma for the Directory Access Protocol (DAP) specified in ITU-T Rec. X.500-Series (1993) | ISO/IEC 9594:1995.
All references to the Directory Specifications, made throughout this Recommendation | International Standard, are to the
second edition of those specifications (ITU-T Rec. X.500-Series (1993) | ISO/IEC 9594:1995).
Annex A specifies the PICS proforma for the Directory Access Protocol as defined in ITU-T Rec. X.500-Series |
ISO/IEC 9594.

A.2 Instructions
A.2.1 Purpose and structure of the proforma
The purpose of this PICS proforma is to provide suppliers of implementations of ITU-T Rec. X.500-Series (1993) |
ISO/IEC 9594:1995 with consistent means of stating which capabilities have been implemented.
The proforma is in the form of a questionnaire and consists of a set of items. An item is provided for each capability for
which an implementation choice is allowed. Items are also provided for mandatory capabilities for which no implemen-
tation choice is allowed. Each item includes an item number, item description, a status value specifying the support
requirement, and room for a support answer to be provided by the supplier.
This subclause provides general information and instructions for completion of the proforma.
Subclause A.3 is for the identification of the implementation.
Subclause A.4 is for identifying the protocol within ITU-T Rec. X.500-Series | ISO/IEC 9594.
Subclause A.5 is for the identification of the Technical Corrigenda to the protocol.
Subclause A.6 contains tables in which the supplier specifies details of the implementation options chosen.
A.2.2 Symbols, terms, and abbreviations
A.2.2.1 Introduction
Notations have been introduced in order to reduce the size of the tables in the PICS proforma. These have allowed the
use of multi-column layout where the columns are headed ‘Status’ and ‘Support’. Definitions of each are given below.
Additionally, the following definitions apply.
A.2.2.1.1 (PICS) item: A row in the PICS proforma table.
A.2.2.1.2 (PICS) question: The question to be answered in the intersection of a PICS item and either a support column
(i.e. "Is this item supported in the context applying to this table and column?") or supported value column (i.e. "What
values are supported for this item in the context applying to this table and column?") in a PICS proforma table.
A.2.2.1.3 status (value): An allowed entry in the status column for an item in a PICS proforma table.

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
ISO/IEC 13248-1 : 1998 (E)
A.2.2.1.4 (support) answer: An allowed entry in the support values columns for an item in PICS, in answer to a PICS
question.
A.2.2.2 Prerequisite notation
If a predicate applies to a whole table, a prerequisite line may be specified in front of the table to which it applies. A
prerequisite line takes the form:
Prerequisite:
The meaning of such a line is that if is True, then the table applies, else it is not applicable.
A.2.2.3 Item reference numbers
Each line within the PICS proforma is numbered at the left-hand edge of the line. This numbering is included as a means
of uniquely identifying all possible implementation details within the PICS proforma. This referencing is used both
inside the PICS proforma, and for references from other test specification documents.
The means of referencing individual responses is done by the following sequence:
– a reference to the smallest enclosing the relevant item;
– a solidus character, '/';
– the reference number of the row in which the response appears;
– if, and only if, more than one response occurs in the row identified by the reference number, then each
possible entry is implicitly labeled a, b, c, etc., from left to right, and this letter is appended to the
sequence.
An example of the use of this notation would be A.6.3.3.1.1/1, which refers to the support for credentials in a
DirectoryBind protocol data unit.
A.2.2.4 Status column
This column indicates the level of support required for conformance to this Recommendation | International Standard.
The values are as follows:
m The capability is required to be implemented in conformance with the related specification
o The capability may be implemented and if it is implemented it is required to conform to the related
specification
c The requirement on the capability depends on the selection of other optional or conditional items
i The capability is outside the scope of this PICS, and hence irrelevant and not subject to conformance
testing
– In the given context it is impossible to use this capability
Nested conditionals are denoted by nested numbering (e.g. 1, 1.1, 1.1.1, etc.) of the item descriptions in the tables. A
table may have zero, one or more levels of nesting. The status of a leading item is specified by its status entry, as defined
above. The status of a subordinate (that is nested) item is specified as follows: if the superior item is supported, the status
of the subordinate item is determined by its status column entry and applicable predicate, if any. If the superior item is
not supported, the subordinate item is not applicable, independent of its status column entry.
The Status "DUA" or "DSA" identifies whether the implementation is a DUA or DSA, respectively.
A.2.2.5 Support column
This column shall be completed by the supplier or implementor, to indicate the level of implementation of each item. An
item is not considered implemented simply because a default value has been defined by the standard. In order for an
Implementation Under Test (IUT) to claim a protocol element is implemented, it must have the ability, where
appropriate, to generate, receive, and perform the appropriate action.
The proforma is designed such that support values are:
Y Yes, the item has been implemented
N No, the item has not been implemented
– The item is not applicable
ITU-T Rec. X.583 (1997 E) 5

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
ISO/IEC 13248-1 : 1998 (E)
A.2.2.6 Definition of support
A capability is said to be supported if the Implementation Under Test (IUT) is able:
– to generate the corresponding operation parameters (either automatically or because the end user
explicitly requires that capability);
– to interpret, handle and, when required, make available to the end user the corresponding error or result.
A protocol element is said to be supported for a sending implementation if it is able to generate it under some
circumstances (either automatically or because the end user requires relevant services explicitly).
A protocol element is said to be supported for a receiving implementation if it is correctly interpreted and handled and,
when appropriate, made available to the end user.
An object class is said to be supported if the IUT is able to construct entries of that object class. Support of an object
class also requires support of the object identifier(s) of the superclass(es) of that object class.
An attribute type is said to be supported by a DUA implementation if the DUA supports those aspects of the attribute
syntax which are pertinent to encoding, decoding or both of the attribute.
An attribute type is said to be supported by a DSA implementation if the DSA supports the specified syntax, and hence
data types, to which every value in such attributes shall conform.
A.2.2.7 Predicate column
The item number contained in the predicate column, if any, means that the status in the "Status" column applies only
when the PICS states that one or more features identified by the item is supported.
A.2.2.8 Predicate Name
The predicate name indicates that name upon which the predicate is based. A predicate name flagged with an asterisk
preceding the predicate name indicates the condition by which the predicate is being set. A predicate name not flagged
with an asterisk indicates the predicate on which the conditional support is based.
Note that the predicate may be set by the DUA or DSA but only applies for the type of agent claiming support. For
example, if an implementation includes both a DUA and a DSA, then if the DSA supports the Read operation (which is
mandatory for a DSA), the "Read" predicate will be set for the DSA only. If the Read operation is also supported for the
DUA (which is optional) the predicate would be set for both the DUA and DSA.
A.2.2.9 Note column
This column indicates the following:
notexx: Refers to Note xx
d(xx): A default value xx within ( ) is defined in the standard. When absent in the PDU, both sender and
receiver shall interpret it as having the default value specified in the standard.
See xx: Refers to Table xx
A.2.3 Instructions for completing the PICS proforma
The supplier shall complete all entries in the column marked ‘Support’. In certain clauses of the PICS proforma further
guidance for completion may be necessary. Such guidance shall supplement the guidance given in this clause and shall
have a scope restricted to the clause in which it appears. In addition, other specifically identified information shall be
provided by the implementor where requested. No changes shall be made to the proforma except the completion as
required. Recognizing that the level of detail required may, in some instances, exceed the space available for responses,
a number of responses specifically allow for the addition of appendices to the PICS.
All entries within the PICS proforma shall be made in ink. Alterations to such entries shall be made by crossing out, not
erasing or making the original entry illegible, and writing the new entry alongside the alteration. All such alterations to
records shall be initialized by the staff making them.

Introduction
La présente Recommandation | Norme internationale a été élaborée en vue de faciliter l'interconnexion des équipements
informatiques et permettre ainsi d'assurer des services d'annuaire. L'ensemble de ces équipements, avec les informations
d'annuaire qu'ils contiennent, peut être considéré comme un tout intégré, appelé l'Annuaire. Les informations contenues
dans l'Annuaire, appelées collectivement "base de données de l'annuaire" (DIB, directory information base), sont
généralement utilisées pour faciliter la communication entre des objets tels que entités d'application, individus,
terminaux, listes de distribution, ainsi que les communications avec ces objets ou au sujet de ces objets.
L'Annuaire joue un rôle important dans l'interconnexion des systèmes ouverts, dont le but est de permettre, moyennant
un minimum d'accords techniques en dehors des normes d'interconnexion, l'interconnexion d'équipements informatiques:
– provenant de divers fabricants;
– gérés différemment;
– de niveaux de complexité différents;
– de générations différentes.
Pour évaluer la conformité d'une implémentation particulière, il est nécessaire de disposer d'une déclaration des capacités
et des options qui ont été incluses pour un protocole OSI donné. Une telle déclaration est appelée déclaration de
conformité d'une implémentation de protocole (PICS).
La présente Recommandation | Norme internationale contient le formulaire de déclaration de conformité d'une
implémentation de protocole (PICS) pour le protocole d'accès à l'annuaire (DAP, directory access protocol) spécifié
dans les Recommandations UIT-T de la série X.500 (1993) | ISO/CEI 9594:1995. Toutes les références concernant les
spécifications d'Annuaire paraissant dans la présente Recommandation | Norme internationale se rapportent à la
deuxième version de ces spécifications (Recommandations UIT-T de la série X.500 (1993) | ISO/CEI 9594:1995).
L'Annexe A contient la spécification du formulaire PICS pour le protocole d'accès à l'annuaire, tel qu'il est défini dans
les Recommandations UIT-T de la série X.500 | ISO/CEI 9594.

A.2 Instructions
A.2.1 Purpose and structure of the proforma
The purpose of this PICS proforma is to provide suppliers of implementations of ITU-T Rec. X.500-Series (1993) |
ISO/IEC 9594:1995 with consistent means of stating which capabilities have been implemented.
The proforma is in the form of a questionnaire and consists of a set of items. An item is provided for each capability for
which an implementation choice is allowed. Items are also provided for mandatory capabilities for which no implemen-
tation choice is allowed. Each item includes an item number, item description, a status value specifying the support
requirement, and room for a support answer to be provided by the supplier.
This subclause provides general information and instructions for completion of the proforma.
Subclause A.3 is for the identification of the implementation.
Subclause A.4 is for identifying the protocol within ITU-T Rec. X.500-Series | ISO/IEC 9594.
Subclause A.5 is for the identification of the Technical Corrigenda to the protocol.
Subclause A.6 contains tables in which the supplier specifies details of the implementation options chosen.
A.2.2 Symbols, terms, and abbreviations
A.2.2.1 Introduction
Notations have been introduced in order to reduce the size of the tables in the PICS proforma. These have allowed the
use of multi-column layout where the columns are headed ‘Status’ and ‘Support’. Definitions of each are given below.
Additionally, the following definitions apply.
A.2.2.1.1 (PICS) item: A row in the PICS proforma table.
A.2.2.1.2 (PICS) question: The question to be answered in the intersection of a PICS item and either a support column
(i.e. "Is this item supported in the context applying to this table and column?") or supported value column (i.e. "What
values are supported for this item in the context applying to this table and column?") in a PICS proforma table.
A.2.2.1.3 status (value): An allowed entry in the status column for an item in a PICS proforma table.

ISO/CEI 13248-1 : 1998 (F)
A.2.2.1.4 (support) answer: An allowed entry in the support values columns for an item in PICS, in answer to a PICS
question.
A.2.2.2 Prerequisite notation
If a predicate applies to a whole table, a prerequisite line may be specified in front of the table to which it applies. A
prerequisite line takes the form:
Prerequisite:
The meaning of such a line is that if is True, then the table applies, else it is not applicable.
A.2.2.3 Item reference numbers
Each line within the PICS proforma is numbered at the left-hand edge of the line. This numbering is included as a means
of uniquely identifying all possible implementation details within the PICS proforma. This referencing is used both
inside the PICS proforma, and for references from other test specification documents.
The means of referencing individual responses is done by the following sequence:
– a reference to the smallest enclosing the relevant item;
– a solidus character, '/';
– the reference number of the row in which the response appears;
– if, and only if, more than one response occurs in the row identified by the reference number, then each
possible entry is implicitly labeled a, b, c, etc., from left to right, and this letter is appended to the
sequence.
An example of the use of this notation would be A.6.3.3.1.1/1, which refers to the support for credentials in a
DirectoryBind protocol data unit.
A.2.2.4 Status column
This column indicates the level of support required for conformance to this Recommendation | International Standard.
The values are as follows:
m The capability is required to be implemented in conformance with the related specification
o The capability may be implemented and if it is implemented it is required to conform to the related
specification
c The requirement on the capability depends on the selection of other optional or conditional items
i The capability is outside the scope of this PICS, and hence irrelevant and not subject to conformance
testing
– In the given context it is impossible to use this capability
Nested conditionals are denoted by nested numbering (e.g. 1, 1.1, 1.1.1, etc.) of the item descriptions in the tables. A
table may have zero, one or more levels of nesting. The status of a leading item is specified by its status entry, as defined
above. The status of a subordinate (that is nested) item is specified as follows: if the superior item is supported, the status
of the subordinate item is determined by its status column entry and applicable predicate, if any. If the superior item is
not supported, the subordinate item is not applicable, independent of its status column entry.
The Status "DUA" or "DSA" identifies whether the implementation is a DUA or DSA, respectively.
A.2.2.5 Support column
This column shall be completed by the supplier or implementor, to indicate the level of implementation of each item. An
item is not considered implemented simply because a default value has been defined by the standard. In order for an
Implementation Under Test (IUT) to claim a protocol element is implemented, it must have the ability, where
appropriate, to generate, receive, and perform the appropriate action.
The proforma is designed such that support values are:
Y Yes, the item has been implemented
N No, the item has not been implemented
– The item is not applicable
Rec. UIT-T X.583 (1997 F) 5

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
ISO/CEI 13248-1 : 1998 (F)
A.2.2.6 Definition of support
A capability is said to be supported if the Implementation Under Test (IUT) is able:
– to generate the corresponding operation parameters (either automatically or because the end user
explicitly requires that capability);
– to interpret, handle and, when required, make available to the end user the corresponding error or result.
A protocol element is said to be supported for a sending implementation if it is able to generate it under some
circumstances (either automatically or because the end user requires relevant services explicitly).
A protocol element is said to be supported for a receiving implementation if it is correctly interpreted and handled and,
when appropriate, made available to the end user.
An object class is said to be supported if the IUT is able to construct entries of that object class. Support of an object
class also requires support of the object identifier(s) of the superclass(es) of that object class.
An attribute type is said to be supported by a DUA implementation if the DUA supports those aspects of the attribute
syntax which are pertinent to encoding, decoding or both of the attribute.
An attribute type is said to be supported by a DSA implementation if the DSA supports the specified syntax, and hence
data types, to which every value in such attributes shall conform.
A.2.2.7 Predicate column
The item number contained in the predicate column, if any, means that the status in the "Status" column applies only
when the PICS states that one or more features identified by the item is supported.
A.2.2.8 Predicate Name
The predicate name indicates that name upon which the predicate is based. A predicate name flagged with an asterisk
preceding the predicate name indicates the condition by which the predicate is being set. A predicate name not flagged
with an asterisk indicates the predicate on which the conditional support is based.
Note that the predicate may be set by the DUA or DSA but only applies for the type of agent claiming support. For
example, if an implementation includes both a DUA and a DSA, then if the DSA supports the Read operation (which is
mandatory for a DSA), the "Read" predicate will be set for the DSA only. If the Read operation is also supported for the
DUA (which is optional) the predicate would be set for both the DUA and DSA.
A.2.2.9 Note column
This column indicates the following:
notexx: Refers to Note xx
d(xx): A default value xx within ( ) is defined in the standard. When absent in the PDU, both sender and
receiver shall interpret it as having the default value specified in the standard.
See xx: Refers to Table xx
A.2.3 Instructions for completing the PICS proforma
The supplier shall complete all entries in the column marked ‘Support’. In certain clauses of the PICS proforma further
guidance for completion may be necessary. Such guidance shall supplement the guidance given in this clause and shall
have a scope restricted to the clause in which it appears. In addition, other specifically identified information shall be
provided by the implementor where requested. No changes shall be made to the proforma except the completion as
required. Recognizing that the level of detail required may, in some instances, exceed the space available for responses,
a number of responses specifically allow for the addition of appendices to the PICS.
All entries within the PICS proforma shall be made in ink. Alterations to such entries shall be made by crossing out, not
erasing or making the original entry illegible, and writing the new entry alongside the alteration. All such alterations to
records shall be initialized by the staff making them.
