Abstract

One of the impediments to a successful roll out of public key infrastructures (PKIs), is that Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directories do not fully support PKIs. In particular, it is not possible to search for X.509 attributes (certificates or CRLs) that match user defined criteria. This paper describes the various approaches that have been suggested for enabling users to search for X.509 attributes, namely component matching and attribute extraction. The implementation of attribute extraction in the OpenLDAP product is then described.
