ISO/IEC ISP 10615-3:1996, Information technology - International Standardized Profiles ADInn - OSI Directory - Part 3: ADI21 - DSA Performer Role

GeneralThis part of ISO/IEC ISP 10615 covers the use of the DSP protocol by a DSA which receives an invoke from another DSA and responds with a result or error. The related part of the ISP, AD132, covers the behavior of the DSA in fulfilling distributed operations, when considered to be independent of the protocol usedThe objective of this part of ISO/IEC ISP 10615 is to define capabilities and constraints on support for DSP by performer functions of DSAs so that DSAs will be able to interwork within the Directory. Factors outside the scope of this part of ISO/IEC ISP 10615 include, but are not limited to, DIT structure, behaviour in distributed operations and some aspects of authentication (e.g., simple authentication with protected passwords, strong authentication, and the use of non-local authentication).The scope of ISO/IEC ISP 10615 is limited to the '88 edition of the Directory standards.Position Within the TaxonomyThis part of ISO/IEC ISP 10615 is identified in ISO/IEC TR 10000-2 as “ADI21 - DSA Performer Role”.It may be combined with other parts of ISO/IEC ISP 10615, with ISO/IEC ISP 10616 specifying use of the directory, and with T-Profiles specifying the OS1 connection-mode transport service.ScenarioThe model used is described in Overview of Concepts, Models, and Services in ISO/IEC 9594-1 : CCITT X.500. Specifications of ISO/IEC ISP 10615-3 apply to the perRormer role of DSP for a DSA within the scenario of Figure 1.
