Review of Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Joint Australian/


New Zealand Standards are subject to periodic review and are kept up to date by the
issue of amendments or new editions as necessary. It is important therefore that
Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest edition, and any
amendments thereto.
Full details of all Joint Standards and related publications will be found in the Standards
Australia and Standards New Zealand Catalogue of Publications; this information is
supplemented each month by the magazines ‘The Australian Standard’ and ‘Standards
New Zealand’, which subscribing members receive, and which give details of new
publications, new editions and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.
Suggestions for improvements to Joint Standards, addressed to the head office of either
Standards Australia or Standards New Zealand, are welcomed. Notification of any
inaccuracy or ambiguity found in a Joint Australian/New Zealand Standard should be
made without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action
taken.

PREFACE

This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee
IT/1 on Information Systems— Interconnection. It is identical with and has been reproduced from
ISO/IEC 9594-6:1995, Information technology— Open Systems Interconnection— The Directory:
Selected attribute types. This edition will be concurrent with AS 4019.6— 1992, Information
technology — Open Systems Interconnection — The Directory, Part 6: Selected attribute types.
The objective of this Standard is to provide users of information technology with a definition of a
number of attribute types and matching rules which may be found useful across a range of
applications of the Directory.
This Standard is one of a series of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Standards which are
currently under development. Since OSI Standards are developmental, there may be some minor
difficulties encountered in their implementation. For this reason, Standards Australia will be

providing, through the OSI Help Desk, a service to coordinate and disseminate information
concerning difficulties which are identified in using this Standard.
This edition technically revises and enhances AS 4019.6. Implementation may still claim
conformance to AS 4019.6. However, at some point, AS 4019 will no longer be supported. It is
recommended that implementation conform to AS/NZS 4019.6:1996 as soon as possible.

AUSTRALIAN/NEW ZEALAND STANDARD


INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY – OPEN SYSTEMS INTERCONNECTION –
THE DIRECTORY: SELECTED ATTRIBUTE TYPES

SECTION 1 – GENERAL

1 Scope
This Recommendation International Standard defines a number of attribute types and matching rules which may be
found useful across a range of applications of the Directory.

Attribute types and matching rules fall into three categories, as described below.
This is a free 7 page sample. Access the full version at http://infostore.saiglobal.com.

Some attribute types and matching rules are used by a wide variety of applications or are understood and/or used by
the Directory itself.

NOTE – It is recommended that an attribute type or matching rule defined in this document be used, in preference to the
generation of a new one, whenever it is appropriate for the application.

Some attribute types and matching rules are internationally standardized, but are application-specific. These are defined
in the standards associated with the application concerned.

Any administrative authority can define its own attribute types and matching rules for any purpose. These are not
internationally standardized, and are available to others beyond the administrative authority which created them only by
bilateral agreement.

2 Normative references
The following Recommendations and International Standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text,
constitute provisions of this Recommendation International Standard part. At the time of publication, the editions
