About
This document defines the application programming interface (API) to X/Open Directory Services. This interface is designed to offer services that are consistent with, but not limited to, the 1988 CCITT X.500 Series of Recommendations and the ISO 9594 standard. This Issue 2 includes revisions to align with the IEEE Directory Services group of standards that themselves are based on the previous version of this X/Open specification. All new implementation work by API providers should be based on this Issue 2. The previous specification will be retained by X/Open for only as long as branding is available for products based on it. XDS is one of several specifications that X/Open originally developed in collaboration with the X.400 API Association. The XOM and X.400 specifications have similarly served as bases for corresponding IEEE standards and have been upgraded to Issue 2 for IEEE alignment.
