<span class="h1">Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Schema for Supporting</span>
<span class="h1">the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) in White Pages</span>
Abstract
The Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) identifies
users by use of Jabber IDs (JIDs). The Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol (LDAP) enables provision of a white pages service with a
schema relating to users and support for Internet protocols. This
specification defines a schema to enable XMPP JIDs to be associated
with objects in an LDAP directory so that this information can be
used with white pages applications.

Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) [<a href="./rfc6120" title=""Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP): Core"">RFC6120</a>]
identifies users by use of Jabber IDs (JIDs). The Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) [<a href="./rfc4510" title=""Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP): Technical Specification Road Map"">RFC4510</a>] enables provision of a
white pages service with a schema relating to users and support for
Internet protocols defined in [<a href="./rfc4519" title=""Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP): Schema for User Applications"">RFC4519</a>]. This specification defines
a schema to enable XMPP JIDs to be associated with LDAP directory
objects so that this information can be used with white pages
applications.
The LDAP schema for storing JIDs is defined to enable JIDs to be
associated with any object stored in the directory. This is done by
associating the new JID Attribute with a new Auxiliary Object Class
called JIDObject.

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
<a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/bcp/bcp14">BCP 14</a> [<a href="./rfc2119" title=""Key words for use in RFCs to Indicate Requirement Levels"">RFC2119</a>] [<a href="./rfc8174" title=""Ambiguity of Uppercase vs Lowercase in RFC 2119 Key Words"">RFC8174</a>] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-3" href="#section-3">3</a>. Schema Definition</span>
This section defines the schema used to store JIDs in the directory.
<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-3.1" href="#section-3.1">3.1</a>. Object Class</span>
This section defines a new Auxiliary Object Class called JIDObject,
which MAY be associated with any structural Object Class. This
Object Class is used to augment entries for objects that act or may
act as an XMPP client. The JID attribute is optional in order to
enable configuring an object that is allowed to have an associated
JID but does not currently have one.

<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-3.2" href="#section-3.2">3.2</a>. Attribute</span>
This section defines the JID attribute referenced by the JIDObject
Auxiliary Object Class. The syntax of the JID attribute MUST follow
the rules of [<a href="./rfc7622" title=""Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP): Address Format"">RFC7622</a>]. The JID stored MUST be a bare JID (e.g., a
JID such as romeo@shakespeare.example.com representing a human user)
and not a full JID (e.g., a JID such as
romeo@shakespare.example.com/AABBCC, which represents a specific XMPP
client used by the human user and is identified by the resource
AABBCC). Note that the LDAP directory server is not expected to
enforce this syntax. The syntax rules are for LDAP clients setting
this attribute, noting that human usage is a key target.
Applications using this attribute should format that string in a
manner appropriate to the application, and XMPP applications SHOULD
apply [<a href="./rfc7622" title=""Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP): Address Format"">RFC7622</a>] to the attribute. The directory service doesn't
enforce the JID syntax, and values are compared according to the
matching rules specified in the attribute definition.
Note that for the convenience of users and administrators as well as
implementers, the Directory String syntax and the caseIgnoreMatch
matching rule are chosen to allow entry and matching of values
according to common rules used within the directory. As this syntax
and matching rule differ from [<a href="./rfc7622" title=""Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP): Address Format"">RFC7622</a>], false positives and false

negatives can possibly occur. This is not anticipated to cause
operational issues (based on implementation experience with similar
syntax/matching rule mismatches).

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-5" href="#section-5">5</a>. Security Considerations</span>
XMPP JIDs are often personal identifiers enabling electronic
communication and have similar considerations to email addresses.
This schema enables publishing of this information in LDAP
directories, which may be corporate or public services. Care should
be taken to only publish JID information that is acceptable both to
be linked to the LDAP object and to be made accessible to all LDAP
users. The general LDAP security considerations specified in
[<a href="./rfc4510" title=""Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP): Technical Specification Road Map"">RFC4510</a>] also apply.
