Integrated Directory Services (ids) ----------------------------------- Charter Current status: active working group Chair(s): Chris Weider Tim Howes User Services Area Director(s) Joyce Reynolds Mailing lists: General Discussion:ids@merit.edu To Subscribe: ids-request@merit.edu Archive: merit.edu:~/pub/ids-archive Description of Working Group: The Integrated Directory Services Working Group is chartered to facilitate the integration and interoperability of current and future directory services into a unified directory service. This work will unite directory services based on a heterogeneous set of directory services protocols (X.500, WHOIS++, etc.). In addition to specifying technical requirements for the integration, the IDS Working Group will also contribute to the administrative and maintenance issues of directory service offerings by publishing guidelines on directory data integrity, maintenance, security, and privacy and legal issues for users and administrators of directories. IDS will also assume responsibility for the completion of the outstanding Directory Information Services Infrastructure (DISI) Internet-Drafts, which are all specific to X.500, and for the maintenance of FYI 11, ``A catalog of available X.500 implementations''. IDS will need to liase with the groups working on development and deployment of the various directory service protocols. The IDS Working Group is a combined effort of the Applications Area and the User Services Area of the IETF.
