	Title		: A Configuration Schema for LDAP Based Directory User 
                          Agents et al.
	Author(s)	: B. Joslin
	Filename	: draft-joslin-config-schema-00.txt

This document describes a mechanism for global confi-
guration of similar directory user agents.  This docu-
ment proposes a schema for configuration of these DUAs
that may be discovered using the Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol [RFC2251]. A set of attribute types and
an objectclass are proposed, along with specific guide-
lines for interpreting them.  A significant feature of
the global configuration policy for DUAs, is a mechan-
ism that allows DUAs to re-configure their schema to
that of the end user's environment.  This configuration
is achieved through attribute and objectclass mapping.
This document is intended to be a skeleton for future
documents that describe configuration of specific DUA
services.

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-joslin-config-schema-00.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
