Folks:
Some of you may be interested in how we are proposing to handle Directory
names in DOD. In the schema for the Defense Message System initial
operational capability directory, individuals are identified by Service
or agency and location. An example is:
{c=us, o=u.s. government, ou=army, l=huachuca, cn=James R Jones}
How naming will be done for deployable units and individuals is being
studied. When a unit or individual is deployed, the name, O/R address,
PSAP, route, or some combination will change. If Jones is deployed with
his unit, he could keep the same Directory name. We are trying to keep
Directory names stable although some entry information in the Directory
would change. It's a little messier if part of a unit is deployed.
