While the X.500 standards define many useful attribute types [X520]
and object classes [X521], they do not define a person object class
that meets the requirements found in today's Internet and Intranet
directory service deployments.  We define a new object class called
inetOrgPerson for use in LDAP and X.500 directory services that
extends the X.521 standard organizationalPerson class to meet these
needs.
