Withdrawn Standard. Withdrawn Date: Mar 06, 2000. No longer endorsed by the IEEE. Test methods for IEEE Std 1224.2-1993, language-independent specification of the applications interface to directory services are defined.

This standard defines requirements for test methods for measuring conformance to IEEE Std 1224.2-1993 {14}. IEEE Std 1224.2-1993 {14} is stated in terms that are independent of any particular programming language, but each implementation that conforms to it implements a particular programming language binding, and conforms to its programming language binding specification. Each set of test methods for measuring conformance to IEEE Std 1224.2-1993 {14} assumes a particular programming language binding specification. Each programming language binding specification may impose further, programming language specific, requirements on the test methods that, in conj...

The purpose of this standard is to define test methods for the language-independent specification contained in IEEE Std 1224.2-1993 of the application programming interface (API) to directory services. A directory is a distributed collection of information that programs can access in order to make queries or updates. IEEE Std 1224.2-1993 defines, in programming language-independent terms, an API to directory services. This API is known as the Directory Services API (DS API). The DS API is intended to be used to provide access to a range of directory services that are instances of a common abstract model. That model is defined in the CCITT X.500 Series recomm...
