Hello,
I am new to the VPIM area and read documentation about VPIM directory
(draft-ema-vpimdir-schema-01.txt, draft-ietf-vpim-routing-01.txt, VPIM
Directory Architecture on the EMA VPIM web site, etc.).
However, there is something I am missing.
I do apologise if this is not the right list for this kind of questions, but
this is the only VPIM list Icould find (the EMA VPIM list does not appear to
have an e-mail address in the EMA VPIM web site).
After this introduction, here is the point I am missing:
Let a VoiceMail system have an LDAP directory with VPIM-related information,
so that external systems can query it and (for instance) retrieve the VPIM
mailbox address and spoken name of a user from his telephone number. I
understood that:
1) the LDAP directory tree MUST stick to draft-ema-vpimdir-schema-01.txt,
where each node of the tree represents a single digit of the user's E.164
telephone number
2) when an external system queries the LDAP directory, it builds the DN of
the entry from the user's E.164 telephone number instead of performing a
look-up
Am I correct here?
The question is: is the beginning of the DN in the VPIM directory always
"o=e164"? If no, how does the external system know the beginning of the DN
(at least, the root DN of the directory tree)?
From the examples in section 3.1 of document
draft-ema-vpimdir-schema-01.txt, the root DN appears to always be "o=e164".
But section 7 of the same document suggests that there may be intermediate
nodes (e.g. countryName) between the root DN and the e164Digit nodes. Hence
the above questions.
Thank you.
Best regards.
Laurent
