Title : Conversion of LDAP Schemas to and from SLP Templates

This document describes a procedure for mapping between SLP service
advertisments and LDAP descriptions of services. The document
covers two aspects of the mapping. One aspect is mapping between
SLP service type templates and LDAP directory schema. Because the
SLP service type template grammer is relatively simple, mapping from
service type templates to LDAP types is straightforward. Mapping
in the other direction is straightforward if the LDAP schema is
restricted to the set of attribute types defined in RFC 2252. If
arbitrary ASN.1 types occur in the schema, then the mapping is
more complex and may even be impossible. The second aspect is
representation of service information in an LDAP directory. The
recommended representation simplifies interoperability with SLP by
allowing SLP directory agents to backend into LDAP directory servers.
The resulting system allows service advertisements to propagate
easily between SLP and LDAP.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
