We do have test suites defined by opengroup which most of the directory vendors follow. Would that be sufficient? or should we define new test suites as part of this exercise?

I thought I was on the JNDI interest list but I didn't see your message about JNDI and RFC 4370.

or should we define new test suites as part of this exercise?

Kurt, Sun would be interested in participating in the interoperability testing. We would have 3 servers to test against: Sun Directory Server, Sun Directory Proxy Server and OpenDS. Who else is participating ? I've seen interest from Novell and Michael Stroeder so far.

At present, there are no plans on doing any interop testing at IETF#71. They said that if we wanted to do some, they would try to find us a room. Given the short notice, I'm thinking it better to shoot for something at IETF#72 (Dublin) instead. However, if there was strong interest in doing this at IETF#71, I'm willing to make things happen (one way or the other). I note that I will likely be submitting a LDAP BoF proposal for IETF#72 to do work in both updating existing RFCs detailing LDAP extensions as well as work on new extensions. (Please drop me a private note if interested in co-chairing the BoF and/or the WG (if approved). I prefer NOT to chair the WG myself.) -- Kurt
