Review of Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Joint Australian/

New Zealand Standards are subject to periodic review and are kept up to date by the
issue of amendments or new editions as necessary. It is important therefore that
Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest edition, and any
amendments thereto.
Full details of all Joint Standards and related publications will be found in the
Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand Catalogue of Publications; this
information is supplemented each month by the magazines ‘The Australian Standard’
and ‘Standards New Zealand’, which subscribing members receive, and which give
details of new publications, new editions and amendments, and of withdrawn
Standards.
Suggestions for improvements to Joint Standards, addressed to the head office of either
Standards Australia or Standards New Zealand, are welcomed. Notification of any
inaccuracy or ambiguity found in a Joint Australian/New Zealand Standard should be
made without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action
taken.

PREFACE

This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee
IT/1 on Information Systems— Interconnection. It is identical with and has been reproduced from
ISO/IEC 9594-9:1995, Information technology— Open Systems Interconnection— The Directory:
Replication .
The objective of this Standard is to provide users of information technology with a definition of the
replication capabilities provided by the directory system agent to improve the level of service to
Directory users.
This Standard is one of a series of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Standards which are
currently under development. Since OSI Standards are developmental, there may be some minor
difficulties encountered in their implementation. For this reason, Standards Australia will be
providing, through the OSI Help Desk, a service to coordinate and disseminate information

THE DIRECTORY: REPLICATION

1 Scope
This Recommendation International Standard specifies a shadow service which DSAs may use to replicate Directory
information. The service allows Directory information to be replicated among DSAs to improve service to Directory
users. The shadowed information is updated, using the defined protocol, thereby improving the service provided to users
of the Directory.
