- Directory Data Structure Profile
- Description
- The Directory Data Structure Profile provides standards and guidance in support of the definition of the namespace of a federated mission network on the basis of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). The Directory Data Structure Profile facilitate the need to share contact information across all participants of a federation, in order to support improved collaboration and communication, for example through the sharing of a Global Address List (GAL) for email addresses.
Taxonomy
Standards
Guidance
The central DIT, for sharing GAL information, is based on the IETF standards for ‘inetOrgPerson’ LDAP Object Class.
The Federated Directory Services shall be able to exchange inetOrgPerson object class with mandatory Common Name (cn) and Surname (sn) attributes.
Based on the specific mission network’s requirements, the list of exchanged attributes for a particular mission network might be extended by Service Management Authority (SMA) during the planning process. The table provides mandatory, recommended and optional specific guidance of such attributes within a federation context. The attributes refer back to those attributes as defined in ACP 133 Supp-1(C).
