Abstract

  This document defines a schema, object classes and attributes, for
  printers and printer services, for use with directories that support
  Lightweight Directory Access Protocol v3 (LDAP-TS).  This document is
  based on the printer attributes listed in Appendix E of Internet
  Printing Protocol/1.1 (IPP) (RFC 2911).  A few additional printer
  attributes are based on definitions in the Printer MIB (RFC 1759).

RFC 3712            LDAP Schema for Printer Services       February 2004


1.  Introduction

  This document defines several object classes to provide Lightweight
  Directory Access Protocol v3 [LDAP-TS] applications with flexible
  options in defining printer information using LDAP schema.  Classes
  are provided for defining directory entries with common printer
  information as well as for extending existing directory entries with
  SLPv2 [RFC2608], IPP/1.1 [RFC2911], and LPR [RFC1179] specific
  information.

  The schema defined in this document is based on the printer
  attributes listed in Appendix E 'Generic Directory Schema' of
  Internet Printing Protocol/1.1 (IPP) [RFC2911].  A few additional
  printer attributes are based on definitions in the Printer MIB
  [RFC1759].

  The schema defined in this document is technically aligned with the
  stable IANA-registered 'service:printer:' v2.0 template [SLP-PRT],
  for compatibility with already deployed Service Location Protocol
  (SLPv2) [RFC2608] service advertising and discovery infrastructure.
  The attribute syntaxes are technically aligned with the
  'service:printer:' v2.0 template - therefore simpler types are
  sometimes used (for example, 'DirectoryString' [RFC2252] rather than
  'labeledURI' [RFC2079] for the 'printer-uri' attribute).

  Please send comments directly to the authors at the addresses listed
  in Section 13 "Authors' Addresses".

1.1.  Rationale for using DirectoryString Syntax

  The attribute syntax 'DirectoryString' (UTF-8 [RFC2279]) defined in
  [RFC2252] is specified for several groups of string attributes that
  are defined in this document:

  1)  URI
      - printer-uri, printer-xri-supported, printer-more-info

      The UTF-8 encoding is forward compatible with any future
      deployment of (UTF-8 based) IRI (Internationalized Resource
      Identifiers) [W3C-IRI] currently being developed by the W3C
      Internationalization Working Group.

  2)  Description
      - printer-name, printer-location, printer-info,
      printer-make-and-model






Fleming & McDonald           Informational                      [Page 3]

RFC 3712            LDAP Schema for Printer Services       February 2004


      The UTF-8 encoding supports descriptions in any language,
      conformant with the "IETF Policy on Character Sets and Languages"
      [RFC2277].

      Note:  The printer-natural-language-configured attribute contains
      a language tag [RFC3066] for these description attributes (for
      example, to support text-to-speech conversions).

  3)  Keyword
      - printer-compression-supported, printer-finishings-supported,
      printer-media-supported, printer-media-local-supported,
      printer-print-quality-supported

      The UTF-8 encoding is compatible with the current IPP/1.1
      [RFC2911] definition of the equivalent attributes, most of which
      have the IPP/1.1 union syntax 'keyword or name'.  The keyword
      attributes defined in this document are extensible by
      site-specific or vendor-specific 'names' which behave like new
      'keywords'

      Note:  In IPP/1.1, each value is strongly typed over-the-wire as
      either 'keyword' or 'name'.  This union selector is not preserved
      in the definitions of these equivalent LDAP attributes.

1.2.  Rationale for using caseIgnoreMatch

  The EQUALITY matching rule 'caseIgnoreMatch' defined in [RFC2252] is
  specified for several groups of string attributes that are defined in
  this document:

  1)  URI

      These URI attributes specify EQUALITY matching with
      'caseIgnoreMatch' (rather than with 'caseExactMatch') in order to
      conform to the spirit of [RFC2396], which requires case
      insensitive matching on the host part of a URI versus case
      sensitive matching on the remainder of a URI.

      These URI attributes follow existing practice of supporting case
      insensitive equality matching for host names in the
      associatedDomain attribute defined in [RFC1274].

      Either equality matching rule choice would be a compromise:
      a) case sensitive whole URI matching may lead to false negative
      matches and has been shown to be fragile (given deployed client
      applications that 'pretty up' host names displayed and
      transferred in URI);




Fleming & McDonald           Informational                      [Page 4]

RFC 3712            LDAP Schema for Printer Services       February 2004


      b) case insensitive whole URI matching may lead to false positive
      matches, although it is a dangerous practice to publish URI that
      differ only by case (for example, in the path elements).

  2)  Description

      Case insensitive equality matching is more user-friendly for
      description attributes.

  3)  Keyword

      Case insensitive equality matching is more user-friendly for
      keyword attributes.

1.3.  Rationale for using caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch

  The SUBSTR matching rule 'caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch' defined in
  [RFC2252] is specified for several groups of string attributes that
  are defined in this document:

  1)  URI

      These URI attributes follow existing practice of supporting case
      insensitive equality matching for host names in the
      associatedDomain attribute defined in [RFC1274].

  2)  Description

      Support for case insensitive substring matching is more
      user-friendly for description attributes.

  3)  Keyword

      Support for case insensitive substring matching is more
      user-friendly for keyword attributes.

2.  Terminology and Conventions

  The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
  "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
  document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119].

  Schema definitions are provided using LDAPv3 [LDAP-TS] description
  formats.  Definitions provided here are formatted (line wrapped) for
  readability.

RFC 3712            LDAP Schema for Printer Services       February 2004


3.  Definition of Object Classes

  We define the following LDAP object classes for use with both generic
  printer related information and services specific to SLPv2 [RFC2608],
  IPP/1.1 [RFC2911], and LPR [RFC1179].

  slpServicePrinter - auxiliary class for SLP registered printers
  printerAbstract - abstract class for all printer classes
  printerService - structural class for printers
  printerServiceAuxClass - auxiliary class for printers
  printerIPP - auxiliary class for IPP printers
  printerLPR - auxiliary class for LPR printers

  The following are some examples of how applications may choose to use
  these classes when creating directory entries:

  1)  Use printerService for directory entries containing common
      printer information.

  2)  Use both printerService and slpServicePrinter for directory
      entries containing common printer information for SLP registered
      printers.

  3)  Use printerService, printerLPR and printerIPP for directory
      entries containing common printer information for printers that
      support both LPR and IPP.

  4)  Use printerServiceAuxClass and object classes not defined by this
      document for directory entries containing common printer
      information.  In this example, printerServiceAuxClass is used for
      extending other structural classes defining printer information
      with common printer information defined in this document.

  Refer to Section 4 for definition of attribute types referenced by
  these object classes.  We use attribute names instead of OIDs in
  object class definitions for clarity.  Some attribute names described
  in [RFC2911] have been prefixed with 'printer-' as recommended in
  [RFC2926] and [SLP-PRT].

3.1.  slpServicePrinter

  ( 1.3.18.0.2.6.254

Fleming & McDonald           Informational                      [Page 6]

RFC 3712            LDAP Schema for Printer Services       February 2004


  This auxiliary class defines Service Location Protocol (SLPv2)
  [RFC2608] specific information.  It should be used with a structural
  class such as printerService.  It may be used to create new or extend
  existing directory entries with SLP 'service:printer' abstract
  service type information as defined in [SLP-PRT].  This object class
  is derived from 'slpService', the parent class for all SLP services,
  defined in [RFC2926].

  This abstract class defines printer information.  It is a base class
  for deriving other printer related classes, such as, but not limited
  to, classes defined in this document.  It defines a common set of
  printer attributes that are not specific to any one type of service,
  protocol or operating system.

  NAME  'printerService'
  DESC  'Printer information.'
  STRUCTURAL
  SUP   printerAbstract
  MAY   ( printer-uri $ printer-xri-supported )
  )

  This structural class defines printer information.  It is derived
  from class printerAbstract and thus inherits common printer
  attributes.  This class can be used with or without auxiliary classes
  to define printer information.  Auxiliary classes can be used to
  extend the common printer information with protocol, service or
  operating system specific information.

  Note:  When extending other structural classes with auxiliary
  classes, printerService should not be used.

3.4.  printerServiceAuxClass

  ( 1.3.18.0.2.6.257
  NAME  'printerServiceAuxClass'
  DESC  'Printer information.'
  AUXILIARY
  SUP   printerAbstract

  This auxiliary class defines printer information.  It is derived from
  class printerAbstract and thus inherits common printer attributes.
  This class should be used with a structural class.

RFC 3712            LDAP Schema for Printer Services       February 2004


  This auxiliary class defines Internet Printing Protocol (IPP/1.1)
  [RFC2911] information.  It should be used with a structural class
  such as printerService.  It is used to extend structural classes with
  IPP specific printer information.

3.6.  printerLPR

  ( 1.3.18.0.2.6.253
  NAME  'printerLPR'
  DESC  'LPR information.'
  AUXILIARY
  SUP   top
  MUST  ( printer-name )
  MAY   ( printer-aliases)
  )

  This auxiliary class defines LPR [RFC1179] information.  It should be
  used with a structural class such as printerService.  It is used to
  identify directory entries that support LPR.

4.  Definition of Attribute Types

  The following attribute types are referenced by the object classes
  defined in Section 3.

  The following attribute types reference syntax OIDs defined in
  Section 6 of [RFC2252] (see Section 5 'Definition of Syntaxes'
  below).

  The following attribute types reference matching rule names (instead
  of OIDs) for clarity (see Section 6 below).  For optional attributes,
  if the printer information is not known, the attribute value should
  not be set.  In the following definitions, referenced matching rules
  are defined in Section 8 of [RFC2252] and/or Section 2 of [RFC3698]
  (see Section 6 'Definition of Matching Rules' below).

  The following table is a summary of the attribute names defined by
  this document and their corresponding names from [RFC2911].  Some
  attribute names described in [RFC2911] have been prefixed with
  'printer-' as recommended in [RFC2926], to address the flat namespace
  for LDAP identifiers.

  SYNTAX  1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15

  )

  If the printer-xri-supported LDAP attribute is implemented, then this
  printer-uri value should be listed in printer-xri-supported.

  Values of URI should conform to [RFC2396], although URI schemes may
  be defined which do not conform to [RFC2396] (see [RFC2717] and
  [RFC2718]).

  Note:  LDAP application clients should not attempt to use malformed
  URI values read from this attribute.  LDAP administrative clients
  should not write malformed URI values into this attribute.

  Note:  For SLP registered printers, the LDAP printer-uri attribute
  should be set to the value of the SLP-registered URL of the printer,
  for interworking with SLPv2 [RFC2608] service discovery.

  Note:  See Sections 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 for rationale for design
  choices.

  )

  A list of XRI (extended resource identifiers) supported by this
  printer.  Each value of this list should consist of a URI (uniform
  resource identifier) followed by (optional) authentication and
  security fields.

  Values of URI should conform to [RFC2396], although URI schemes may
  be defined which do not conform to [RFC2396] (see [RFC2717] and
  [RFC2718]).

  Note:  LDAP application clients should not attempt to use malformed
  URI values read from this attribute.  LDAP administrative clients
  should not write malformed URI values into this attribute.

  Note:  This attribute is based on 'printer-uri-supported', 'uri-
  authentication-supported', and `'uri-security-supported' (called the
  'Three Musketeers' because they are parallel ordered attributes)
  defined in IPP/1.1 [RFC2911].  This attribute unfolds those IPP/1.1
  attributes and thus avoids the ordering (and same number of values)
  constraints of the IPP/1.1 separate attributes.

  Defined keywords for fields include:

      'uri' (IPP 'printer-uri-supported')
      'auth' (IPP 'uri-authentication-supported')
      'sec' (IPP 'uri-security-supported')

  A missing 'auth' field should be interpreted to mean 'none'.  Per

8.  Internationalization Considerations

  All text string attributes defined in this document of syntax
  [RFC2279], as required by [RFC2252].

  A language tag [RFC3066] for all of the text string attributes
  defined in this document is contained in the printer-natural-
  language-configured attribute.




Fleming & McDonald           Informational                     [Page 28]

RFC 3712            LDAP Schema for Printer Services       February 2004


  Therefore, all object classes defined in this document conform to the
  "IETF Policy on Character Sets and Languages" [RFC2277].

9.  Security Considerations

  See [RFC2829] for detailed guidance on authentication methods for
  LDAP.  See [RFC2830] for detailed guidance of using TLS/1.0 [RFC2246]
  to supply connection confidentiality and data integrity for LDAP
  sessions.

  As with any LDAP schema, it is important to protect specific entries
  and attributes with the appropriate access control.  It is
  particularly important that only administrators can modify entries
  defined in this LDAP printer schema.  Otherwise, an LDAP client might
  be fooled into diverting print service requests from the original
  printer (or spooler) to a malicious intruder's host system, thus
  exposing the information in printed documents.

  For additional security considerations of deploying printers in an
  IPP environment, see Section 8 of [RFC2911].
