API to Directory Services (XDS), Issue 3

This document (XDS Issue 3) defines the application programming interfaces (APIs) to Directory Services. This interface is designed to offer services that are consistent with, but not limited to, the 1988 CCITT X.500 Series of Recommendations and the ISO 9594 Standard. This 'Issue 3' of the XDS CAE Specification includes revisions to align with the ISO Directory Services API group of Standards, which in turn were based on the previous issue of this XDS Specification. All new implementation work by API providers should be based on XDS Issue 3. XDS is one of several specifications originally developed in collaboration with the XAPI Association. The other documents are OSI-Abstract-Data Manipulation (XOM)(C607), X.400 Electronic Mail (XMHS) (C609), Message Storage (C305) & EDI specifications (P150). A Guide to Selected X.400 and Directory Services APIs is also available (G150). The XOM & XMHS Specifications have also been aligned with the equivalent ISO Standards.
