Abstract / scope
ISO/IEC 9594-7:2005 provides specifications for how information about objects, e.g. persons, is organized, created, maintained and retrieved. It also gives provision for protecting stored information through authentication and access control specifications.
ISO/IEC 9594-7:2005 defines a number of selected object classes and name forms which may be useful across a range of applications of the Directory. An object class definition specifies the attribute types which are relevant to the objects of that class. A name form definition specifies the attributes to be used in forming names for the objects of a given class.
