| Active Directory is Microsoft's "roll your own" attempt to become
a defacto standard, and is compliant to nothing in the
multi-verse. X.500 is written to conform to international
standards.
If you explore the MSG_SOLUTIONS conference, there is mention of
ways to synchronize. I don't believe I've seen a mention of any
bridge.

That's not my understanding. Based on attending the Active Directory
workshop at Microsoft last month, it's clear that Active Directory *is*
based on LDAP.
What makes you think that it is not?

compliant.

| 986.4 | X.500 vs AD and then What? | NQOS01::rdodial_port13.32.81.16.in-addr.arpa::ATKINS | [email protected] | Wed Mar 19 1997 21:25 | 11 |
| What are the real differences other than "Standards"? I've pointed LDAP
clients at the Exchange 5.0 LDAP service with some good success. If they make
AD extensible what will they be missing on the function level.
Are we (Digital) going to have a X.500 "Standard" directory running on NT in
the near future. For customers who are buying into NT but not Digital UNIX
what do we tell them for a Directory service? UNIX? And if the already have
lots of AIX UNIX do we have any thing to tell them?
Thanks,
Steve

| The current AltaVista Directory product has all the code needed
for DAP, DSP, DISP and DOP protocols from the original X.500
product (RFC1006 only - no OSI transport). There is just no way
to manage it, as NT does not support ncl. (You can try using DAP
to access the directory - It's not supported but if you get any
problems let us know).
The next version of AltaVista Directory should have additional
management tools to enable some of this stuff to work, though we
haven't got enough bits working to support everything you might
want to do.

The customer want's standards based X.500 running on NT. Not X.500 Like and we
can't wait for Active Directory.

We do note support DSP links in or out of AltaVista Directory. So no, this
configuration cannot be used.

| In principle .8 works with the current product.
However, if you want to make the Digital DSA get replicated data
from the CDC DSA using the DISP protocol then you might have
problems. CDC do not support the DOP protocol, which is used to
set up replication agreements. So replication would have to be
configured manually, and we dont have any documentation to tell you
how to do this. There may well be other interoperability problems
with replication as well (though we have done some testing with CDC,
so it should be possible).
