[Ietf-not43] matrix in text

[Peter Gietz]

Hi,

Please find the Evaluation Matrix filled out for FIRS. I hope to have 
gotten everything right, although it was not easy to differentiate 
between the possibilities of LDAP and the specifications of the firs 
documents. May be in some cases, e.g., in the use of the LDAP error 
codes, the firs documents should more precicely specify these errors to 
even better match the requirements.

Another problem was to differentiate between LDAPv3 standard and LDAPv3 
implementations, since some vital parts like access control and 
replication are still not standardized, but provided by the 
implementations (where my main focus is on OpenLDAP).

Just to make sure that I didn't include own misconceptions I am Ccing 
this to Kurt, who may want to comment. Since the time untill Vienna is 
so short I didn't first communicate with him (sorry Kurt).

I found a few bugs in the matrix in relation to the -05 requirements 
draft, which I corrected. These amendmends, that occure in sections 
3.1.6. and in 4.1-4.4 are marked by underlined text.

As you can see, I see FIRS as complying to the requirements with one 
exception:

- Section 3.1.13.1
Relay bags are not directly supported in the current FIRS documents, 
which only hint to the possibility of specifying an LDAP extension for 
this feature. I agree that such is possible via defining an LDAP control 
that defines additional data to be sent. Such could be specified in a 
way to fulfill all respective requirements. I for one am voluntering to 
co-author a document that specifies such a controll, if Eric needs help 
in this.

I don't want to miss the situtaion to congratulate Eric for his very 
thoughtfull and comprehensive suite of documents.

I only found some minor typos etc. which I will communicate to Eric 
directly.

If wanted, I could prepare a short presentation about this evaluation at 
thee meeting in Vienna.

Cheers,

Peter
