Abstract
This document describes schema for representing X.509 certificates, X.521 security information, and related elements in directories accessible using the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). The LDAP definitions for these X.509 and X.521 schema elements replace those provided in RFCs 2252 and 2256.
1. Introduction
This document provides LDAP [RFC4510] schema definitions [RFC4512] for a subset of elements specified in X.509 [X.509] and X.521 [X.521], including attribute types for certificates, cross certificate pairs, and certificate revocation lists; matching rules to be used with these attribute types; and related object classes. LDAP syntax definitions are also provided for associated assertion and attribute values.
As the semantics of these elements are as defined in X.509 and X.521, knowledge of X.509 and X.521 is necessary to make use of the LDAP schema definitions provided herein.
This document, together with [RFC4510], obsoletes RFCs 2252 and 2256 in their entirety. The changes (in this document) made since RFC 2252 and RFC 2256 include:
- addition of pkiUser, pkiCA, and deltaCRL classes;
Zeilenga Standards Track [Page 1]
RFC 4523 LDAP X.509 Schema June 2006
- update of attribute types to include equality matching rules in accordance with their X.500 specifications;
- addition of certificate, certificate pair, certificate list, and algorithm identifier matching rules; and
- addition of LDAP syntax for assertion syntaxes for these matching rules.
This document obsoletes RFC 2587. The X.509 schema descriptions for LDAPv2 [RFC1777] are Historic, as is LDAPv2 [RFC3494].
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119].
Schema definitions are provided using LDAP description formats [RFC4512]. Definitions provided here are formatted (line wrapped) for readability.
2. Syntaxes
This section describes various syntaxes used in LDAP to transfer certificates and related data types.
2.1. Certificate
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.8 DESC 'X.509 Certificate' )
A value of this syntax is an X.509 Certificate [X.509, clause 7].
Due to changes made to the definition of a Certificate through time, no LDAP-specific encoding is defined for this syntax. Values of this syntax SHOULD be encoded using Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) [X.690] and MUST only be transferred using the ;binary transfer option [RFC4522]; that is, by requesting and returning values using attribute descriptions such as "userCertificate;binary".
As values of this syntax contain digitally signed data, values of this syntax and the form of each value MUST be preserved as presented.
2.2. CertificateList
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.9 DESC 'X.509 Certificate List' )
A value of this syntax is an X.509 CertificateList [X.509, clause 7.3]. Due to changes made to the definition of a CertificateList through time, no LDAP-specific encoding is defined for this syntax. Values of this syntax SHOULD be encoded using DER [X.690] and MUST only be transferred using the ;binary transfer option [RFC4522]; that is, by requesting and returning values using attribute descriptions such as "certificateRevocationList;binary".

A value of this syntax is an X.509 CertificatePair [X.509, clause 11.2.3].
Due to changes made to the definition of an X.509 CertificatePair through time, no LDAP-specific encoding is defined for this syntax. Values of this syntax SHOULD be encoded using DER [X.690] and MUST only be transferred using the ;binary transfer option [RFC4522]; that is, by requesting and returning values using attribute descriptions such as "crossCertificatePair;binary".
As values of this syntax contain digitally signed data, values of this syntax and the form of each value MUST be preserved as presented.

DESC 'X.509 Supported Algorithm' )
A value of this syntax is an X.509 SupportedAlgorithm [X.509, clause 11.2.7].
Due to changes made to the definition of an X.509 SupportedAlgorithm through time, no LDAP-specific encoding is defined for this syntax. Values of this syntax SHOULD be encoded using DER [X.690] and MUST only be transferred using the ;binary transfer option [RFC4522]; that is, by requesting and returning values using attribute descriptions such as "supportedAlgorithms;binary".
As values of this syntax contain digitally signed data, values of this syntax and the form of the value MUST be preserved as presented.

6. Security Considerations
General certificate considerations [RFC3280] apply to LDAP-aware certificate applications. General LDAP security considerations [RFC4510] apply as well.
While elements of certificate information are commonly signed, these signatures only protect the integrity of the signed information. In the absence of data integrity protections in LDAP (or lower layer, e.g., IPsec), a server is not assured that client certificate request (or other request) was unaltered in transit. Likewise, a client cannot be assured that the results of the query were unaltered in transit. Hence, it is generally recommended that implementations make use of authentication and data integrity services in LDAP [RFC4513][RFC4511].

This document is based on X.509, a product of the ITU-T. A number of LDAP schema definitions were based on those found in RFCs 2252 and 2256, both products of the IETF ASID WG. The ABNF productions in Appendix A were provided by Steven Legg. Additional material was borrowed from prior works by David Chadwick and Steven Legg to refine the LDAP X.509 schema.
