Introduction This document provides an overview of attribute types and object classes intended for use by Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory clients for many directory services, such as White Pages. Originally specified in the X.500 [X.500] documents, these objects are widely used as a basis for the schema in many LDAP directories. This document does not cover attributes used for the administration of directory servers, nor does it include directory objects defined for specific uses in other documents. 1.1. Relationship with Other Specifications This document is an integral part of the LDAP technical specification [RFC4510], which obsoletes the previously defined LDAP technical specification, RFC 3377, in its entirety. In terms of RFC 2256, Sections 6 and 8 of RFC 2256 are obsoleted by [RFC4517]. Sections 5.1, 5.2, 7.1, and 7.2 of RFC 2256 are obsoleted by [RFC4512]. The remainder of RFC 2256 is obsoleted by this document. The technical specification for the 'dc' attribute type and 'dcObject' object class found in RFC 2247 are superseded by sections 2.4 and 3.3 of this document. The remainder of RFC 2247 remains in force. Sciberras Standards Track [Page 3] RFC 4519 LDAP: Schema for User Applications June 2006 This document updates RFC 2798 by replacing the informative description of the 'uid' attribute type with the definitive description provided in Section 2.39 of this document. This document updates RFC 2377 by replacing the informative description of the 'uidObject' object class with the definitive description provided in Section 3.14 of this document. A number of schema elements that were included in the previous revision of the LDAP Technical Specification are not included in this revision of LDAP. PKI-related schema elements are now specified in [RFC4523]. Unless reintroduced in future technical specifications, the remainder are to be considered Historic. The descriptions in this document SHALL be considered definitive for use in LDAP. 1.2. Conventions 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 RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. 1.3. General Issues This document references Syntaxes defined in Section 3 of [RFC4517] and Matching Rules defined in Section 4 of [RFC4517]. The definitions of Attribute Types and Object Classes are written using the Augmented Backus-Naur Form (ABNF) [RFC4234] of AttributeTypeDescription and ObjectClassDescription given in [RFC4512]. Lines have been folded for readability. When such values are transferred as attribute values in the LDAP Protocol, the values will not contain line breaks. 2. Attribute Types The attribute types contained in this section hold user information. There is no requirement that servers implement the 'searchGuide' and 'teletexTerminalIdentifier' attribute types. In fact, their use is greatly discouraged. An LDAP server implementation SHOULD recognize the rest of the attribute types described in this section. Sciberras Standards Track [Page 4] RFC 4519 LDAP: Schema for User Applications June 2006 2.1. 'businessCategory' The 'businessCategory' attribute type describes the kinds of business performed by an organization. Each kind is one value of this multi-valued attribute. (Source: X.520 [X.520]) ( 2.5.4.15 NAME 'businessCategory' EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 ) 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 refers to the Directory String syntax [RFC4517]. Examples: "banking", "transportation", and "real estate". 2.2. 'c' The 'c' ('countryName' in X.500) attribute type contains a two-letter ISO 3166 [ISO3166] country code. (Source: X.520 [X.520]) ( 2.5.4.6 NAME 'c' SUP name SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.11 SINGLE-VALUE ) 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.11 refers to the Country String syntax [RFC4517]. Examples: "DE", "AU" and "FR". 2.3. 'cn' The 'cn' ('commonName' in X.500) attribute type contains names of an object. Each name is one value of this multi-valued attribute. If the object corresponds to a person, it is typically the person's full name. (Source: X.520 [X.520]) ( 2.5.4.3 NAME 'cn' SUP name ) Examples: "Martin K Smith", "Marty Smith" and "printer12". Sciberras Standards Track [Page 5] RFC 4519 LDAP: Schema for User Applications June 2006 2.4. 'dc' The 'dc' ('domainComponent' in RFC 1274) attribute type is a string holding one component, a label, of a DNS domain name [RFC1034][RFC2181] naming a host [RFC1123]. That is, a value of this attribute is a string of ASCII characters adhering to the following ABNF [RFC4234]: label = (ALPHA / DIGIT) [*61(ALPHA / DIGIT / HYPHEN) (ALPHA / DIGIT)] ALPHA = %x41-5A / %x61-7A ; "A"-"Z" / "a"-"z" DIGIT = %x30-39 ; "0"-"9" HYPHEN = %x2D ; hyphen ("-") The encoding of IA5String for use in LDAP is simply the characters of the ASCII label. The equality matching rule is case insensitive, as is today's DNS. (Source: RFC 2247 [RFC2247] and RFC 1274 [RFC 1274]) ( 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.25 NAME 'dc' EQUALITY caseIgnoreIA5Match SUBSTR caseIgnoreIA5SubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 SINGLE-VALUE ) 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 refers to the IA5 String syntax [RFC4517]. Examples: Valid values include "example" and "com" but not "example.com". The latter is invalid as it contains multiple domain components. It is noted that the directory service will not ensure that values of this attribute conform to the host label restrictions [RFC1123] illustrated by the <label> production provided above. It is the directory client's responsibility to ensure that the labels it stores in this attribute are appropriately restricted. Directory applications supporting International Domain Names SHALL use the ToASCII method [RFC3490] to produce the domain component label. The special considerations discussed in Section 4 of RFC 3490 [RFC3490] should be taken, depending on whether the domain component is used for "stored" or "query" purposes. 2.5. 'description' The 'description' attribute type contains human-readable descriptive phrases about the object. Each description is one value of this multi-valued attribute. (Source: X.520 [X.520]) Sciberras Standards Track [Page 6] RFC 4519 LDAP: Schema for User Applications June 2006 ( 2.5.4.13 NAME 'description' EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 ) 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 refers to the Directory String syntax [RFC4517]. Examples: "a color printer", "Maintenance is done every Monday, at 1pm.", and "distribution list for all technical staff". 2.6. 'destinationIndicator' The 'destinationIndicator' attribute type contains country and city strings associated with the object (the addressee) needed to provide the Public Telegram Service. The strings are composed in accordance with CCITT Recommendations F.1 [F.1] and F.31 [F.31]. Each string is one value of this multi-valued attribute. (Source: X.520 [X.520]) ( 2.5.4.27 NAME 'destinationIndicator' EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.44 ) 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.44 refers to the Printable String syntax [RFC4517]. Examples: "AASD" as a destination indicator for Sydney, Australia. "GBLD" as a destination indicator for London, United Kingdom. It is noted that the directory will not ensure that values of this attribute conform to the F.1 and F.31 CCITT Recommendations. It is the application's responsibility to ensure destination indicators that it stores in this attribute are appropriately constructed. 2.7. 'distinguishedName' The 'distinguishedName' attribute type is not used as the name of the object itself, but it is instead a base type from which some user attribute types with a DN syntax can inherit. It is unlikely that values of this type itself will occur in an entry. LDAP server implementations that do not support attribute subtyping need not recognize this attribute in requests. Client implementations MUST NOT assume that LDAP servers are capable of performing attribute subtyping. Sciberras Standards Track [Page 7] RFC 4519 LDAP: Schema for User Applications June 2006 (Source: X.520 [X.520]) ( 2.5.4.49 NAME 'distinguishedName' EQUALITY distinguishedNameMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.12 ) 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.12 refers to the DN syntax [RFC4517]. 2.8. 'dnQualifier' The 'dnQualifier' attribute type contains disambiguating information strings to add to the relative distinguished name of an entry. The information is intended for use when merging data from multiple sources in order to prevent conflicts between entries that would otherwise have the same name. Each string is one value of this multi-valued attribute. It is recommended that a value of the 'dnQualifier' attribute be the same for all entries from a particular source. (Source: X.520 [X.520]) ( 2.5.4.46 NAME 'dnQualifier' EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch ORDERING caseIgnoreOrderingMatch SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.44 ) 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.44 refers to the Printable String syntax [RFC4517]. Examples: "20050322123345Z" - timestamps can be used to disambiguate information. "123456A" - serial numbers can be used to disambiguate information. 2.9. 'enhancedSearchGuide' The 'enhancedSearchGuide' attribute type contains sets of information for use by directory clients in constructing search filters. Each set is one value of this multi-valued attribute. (Source: X.520 [X.520]) ( 2.5.4.47 NAME 'enhancedSearchGuide' SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.21 ) 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.21 refers to the Enhanced Guide syntax [RFC4517]. Sciberras Standards Track [Page 8] RFC 4519 LDAP: Schema for User Applications June 2006 Examples: "person#(sn$APPROX)#wholeSubtree" and "organizationalUnit#(ou$SUBSTR)#oneLevel". 2.10. 'facsimileTelephoneNumber' The 'facsimileTelephoneNumber' attribute type contains telephone numbers (and, optionally, the parameters) for facsimile terminals. Each telephone number is one value of this multi-valued attribute. (Source: X.520 [X.520]) ( 2.5.4.23 NAME 'facsimileTelephoneNumber' SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.22 ) 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.22 refers to the Facsimile Telephone Number syntax [RFC4517]. Examples: "+61 3 9896 7801" and "+81 3 347 7418$fineResolution". 2.11. 'generationQualifier' The 'generationQualifier' attribute type contains name strings that are typically the suffix part of a person's name. Each string is one value of this multi-valued attribute. (Source: X.520 [X.520]) ( 2.5.4.44 NAME 'generationQualifier' SUP name ) Examples: "III", "3rd", and "Jr.". 2.12. 'givenName' The 'givenName' attribute type contains name strings that are the part of a person's name that is not their surname. Each string is one value of this multi-valued attribute. (Source: X.520 [X.520]) ( 2.5.4.42 NAME 'givenName' SUP name ) Examples: "Andrew", "Charles", and "Joanne". 2.13. 'houseIdentifier' The 'houseIdentifier' attribute type contains identifiers for a building within a location. Each identifier is one value of this multi-valued attribute. (Source: X.520 [X.520]) Sciberras Standards Track [Page 9] RFC 4519 LDAP: Schema for User Applications June 2006 ( 2.5.4.51 NAME 'houseIdentifier' EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 ) 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 refers to the Directory String syntax [RFC4517]. Example: "20" to represent the house number 20. 2.14. 'initials' The 'initials' attribute type contains strings of initials of some or all of an individual's names, except the surname(s). Each string is one value of this multi-valued attribute. (Source: X.520 [X.520]) ( 2.5.4.43 NAME 'initials' SUP name ) Examples: "K. A." and "K". 2.15. 'internationalISDNNumber' The 'internationalISDNNumber' attribute type contains Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) addresses, as defined in the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Recommendation E.164 [E.164]. Each address is one value of this multi-valued attribute. (Source: X.520 [X.520]) ( 2.5.4.25 NAME 'internationalISDNNumber' EQUALITY numericStringMatch SUBSTR numericStringSubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.36 ) 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.36 refers to the Numeric String syntax [RFC4517]. Example: "0198 333 333". 2.16. 'l' The 'l' ('localityName' in X.500) attribute type contains names of a locality or place, such as a city, county, or other geographic region. Each name is one value of this multi-valued attribute. (Source: X.520 [X.520]) Sciberras Standards Track [Page 10] RFC 4519 LDAP: Schema for User Applications June 2006 ( 2.5.4.7 NAME 'l' SUP name ) Examples: "Geneva", "Paris", and "Edinburgh". 2.17. 'member' The 'member' attribute type contains the distinguished names of objects that are on a list or in a group. Each name is one value of this multi-valued attribute. (Source: X.520 [X.520]) ( 2.5.4.31 NAME 'member' SUP distinguishedName ) Examples: "cn=James Clarke,ou=Finance,o=Widget\, Inc." and "cn=John Xerri,ou=Finance,o=Widget\, Inc." may be two members of the financial team (group) at Widget, Inc., in which case, both of these distinguished names would be present as individual values of the member attribute. 2.18. 'name' The 'name' attribute type is the attribute supertype from which user attribute types with the name syntax inherit. Such attribute types are typically used for naming. The attribute type is multi-valued. It is unlikely that values of this type itself will occur in an entry. LDAP server implementations that do not support attribute subtyping need not recognize this attribute in requests. Client implementations MUST NOT assume that LDAP servers are capable of performing attribute subtyping. (Source: X.520 [X.520]) ( 2.5.4.41 NAME 'name' EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 ) 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 refers to the Directory String syntax [RFC4517]. 2.19. 'o' The 'o' ('organizationName' in X.500) attribute type contains the names of an organization. Each name is one value of this multi-valued attribute. Sciberras Standards Track [Page 11] RFC 4519 LDAP: Schema for User Applications June 2006 (Source: X.520 [X.520]) ( 2.5.4.10 NAME 'o' SUP name ) Examples: "Widget", "Widget, Inc.", and "Widget, Incorporated.". 2.20. 'ou' The 'ou' ('organizationalUnitName' in X.500) attribute type contains the names of an organizational unit. Each name is one value of this multi-valued attribute. (Source: X.520 [X.520]) ( 2.5.4.11 NAME 'ou' SUP name ) Examples: "Finance", "Human Resources", and "Research and Development". 2.21. 'owner' The 'owner' attribute type contains the distinguished names of objects that have an ownership responsibility for the object that is owned. Each owner's name is one value of this multi-valued attribute. (Source: X.520 [X.520]) ( 2.5.4.32 NAME 'owner' SUP distinguishedName ) Example: The mailing list object, whose DN is "cn=All Employees, ou=Mailing List,o=Widget\, Inc.", is owned by the Human Resources Director. Therefore, the value of the 'owner' attribute within the mailing list object, would be the DN of the director (role): "cn=Human Resources Director,ou=employee,o=Widget\, Inc.". 2.22. 'physicalDeliveryOfficeName' The 'physicalDeliveryOfficeName' attribute type contains names that a Postal Service uses to identify a post office. (Source: X.520 [X.520]) Sciberras Standards Track [Page 12] RFC 4519 LDAP: Schema for User Applications June 2006 ( 2.5.4.19 NAME 'physicalDeliveryOfficeName' EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 ) 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 refers to the Directory String syntax [RFC4517].

'userPassword' The 'userPassword' attribute contains octet strings that are known only to the user and the system to which the user has access. Each string is one value of this multi-valued attribute. The application SHOULD prepare textual strings used as passwords by transcoding them to Unicode, applying SASLprep [RFC4013], and encoding as UTF-8. The determination of whether a password is textual is a local client matter.

Passwords are stored using an Octet String syntax and are not encrypted. Transfer of cleartext passwords is strongly discouraged where the underlying transport service cannot guarantee confidentiality and may result in disclosure of the password to unauthorized parties. An example of a need for multiple values in the 'userPassword' attribute is an environment where every month the user is expected to Sciberras Standards Track [Page 19] RFC 4519 LDAP: Schema for User Applications June 2006 use a different password generated by some automated system.

Security Considerations Attributes of directory entries are used to provide descriptive information about the real-world objects they represent, which can be people, organizations, or devices. Most countries have privacy laws regarding the publication of information about people. Transfer of cleartext passwords is strongly discouraged where the underlying transport service cannot guarantee confidentiality and integrity, since this may result in disclosure of the password to unauthorized parties. Multiple attribute values for the 'userPassword' attribute need to be used with care. Especially reset/deletion of a password by an administrator without knowing the old user password gets tricky or impossible if multiple values for different applications are present. Certainly, applications that intend to replace the 'userPassword' value(s) with new value(s) should use modify/replaceValues (or modify/deleteAttribute+addAttribute). In addition, server implementations are encouraged to provide administrative controls that, if enabled, restrict the 'userPassword' attribute to one value. Note that when used for authentication purposes [RFC4513], the user need only prove knowledge of one of the values, not all of the values. 6.
