Summary

Recommendation ITU-T H.350.1 describes a lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) schema to represent ITU-T H.323 endpoints. It is an auxiliary class related to Recommendation ITU-T H.350 and derives much of its functionality from that architecture. Implementers should review Recommendation ITU-T H.350 in detail before proceeding with this Recommendation. Its attributes include all ITU-T H.323 alias types. These aliases can be downloaded to an endpoint for automatic configuration, accessed by a gatekeeper for call signalling and authorization, and published to white pages to create user dialling directories.

The scope of this Recommendation does not include normative methods for the use of the LDAP directory itself or the data it contains. The purpose of the schema is not to represent all possible data elements in the ITU-T H.323 protocol, but rather to represent the minimal set required to accomplish the design goals enumerated in Recommendation ITU-T H.350.

This revised version of Recommendation ITU-T H.350.1 introduces several enhancements and clarifications to the previous version, primarily the addition of ITU-T X.500 directories support and clarification of h323IdentitypartyNumber.

This Recommendation includes an electronic attachment containing a text-only version of the schema configuration file for h323Identity.
