[comp.protocols.iso] X.500 in ISODE 5.0 ?

paccini@uni2a.unige.ch (Jean-Francois PACCINI, CUI) (06/22/89)

   In the announcement of ISODE 5.0 recently posted in comp.protocols.iso,
it is said the ISODE contains the "OSI directory services". Does it
mean that these directory services conform to X.500 ?

C.Robbins@CS.UCL.AC.UK (Colin Robbins) (06/26/89)

Yes !

ISODE-5.0 contains QUIPU, an implementation of X.500 developed at University
College London.

QUIPU provides a DSA, offering both DAP and DSP access, 
a procedural DUA interface, and DISH a (DIrectory SHell) DUA interface.

ISODE can be configured to use this directory to lookup the address
of OSI applications.

For further information mail quipu-support@uk.ac.ucl.cs
