The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Policy Framework LDAP Core Schema' <draft-ietf-policy-core-schema-16.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This document is the product of the Policy Framework Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Bert Wijnen and Randy Bush. Technical Summary This document defines a mapping of the Policy Core Information Model to a form that can be implemented in a directory that uses LDAP as its access protocol. This model defines two hierarchies of object classes: structural classes representing information for representing and controlling policy data as specified in [1], and relationship classes that indicate how instances of the structural classes are related to each other. Classes are also added to the LDAP schema to improve the performance of a client's interactions with an LDAP server when the client is retrieving large amounts of policy-related information. These classes exist only to optimize LDAP retrievals: there are no classes in the information model that correspond to them. Working Group Summary The working group reached consensus on this document as a Proposed Standard. During IETF Last Call we received initially some technical concerns, which have been addressed in a few revisions. A remaining (minority) concern is that some find the DMTF document DSP0123 (which is referenced in a normative way) is not stable enough. Rough consensus however is that that DMTF document is stable enough for a Proposed Standard to reference it in a normative way. Protocol Quality This document was reviewed for the IESG by Kurt D. Zeilenga and Bert Wijnen.
