Purchasing, X.500 is an international standard for distributed directory services. The distinguished name uses the following format: [X500:/C=CountryCode/O=Organization/OU=OrganizationUnit/CN=CommonName], X.500 Distinguished Names In some cases, values for various properties or options are expected to contain X.500 Distinguished Name (DN) strings. For example, the keytool command for generating a key pair requires a DN as the value of the -dname option indicating the DN of the entity for whom keys should be generated.
X.500 Distinguished Names – IBM, X.500 Overview – Oracle, X.500 Overview – Oracle, A distinguished name is the concatenation of selected attributes from each entry, called the relative distinguished name (RDN), in the tree along a path leading from the root down to the named entry . Users of the X.500 directory may (subject to access control) interrogate and modify the entries and attributes in the DIB. For more information on the X.500, refer to the CCITT.
Abstract The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) uses X.500- compatible distinguished names for providing unique identification of entries. This document defines an algorithm by which a name registered with the Internet Domain Name Service [ 2 ] can be represented as an LDAP distinguished name.
The IX500DistinguishedName interface represents an X.500 distinguished name (DN). The X.500 series of networking standards covers electronic directory services. A distinguished name uniquely identifies (distinguishes) each entry in the directory from all other entries. Each DN consists of one or more relative distinguished names (RDNs).
Many OSI Applications make use of Distinguished Names (DN) as defined in the OSI Directory, commonly known as X.500 [ 1 ]. This specification assumes familiarity with X.500, and the concept of Distinguished Name. It is important to have a common format to be able to unambiguously represent a distinguished name.
Distinguished Name (DN) The identification of an entity following the X.500 notation. SWIFTNet identifiers have the format of a DN. An example is cn=xyz,ou=abc,o=bankbebb,o=swift, in which bankbebb is the 8-character BIC, and the other elements at the left form the optional extension.
