This is the reference implementation of Directory-Based Information Services
which is described in the following Internet Drafts:

This source distribution is organised as follows:

    src/bin             - Front-end scripts
    src/dbis            - DBIS libraries and utilities
    src/doc             - documentation
    src/etc             - DBIS configuration files
    src/pyloom          - Pyloom TCP server library
    src/perl            - Perl client library
    src/tests           - test suite run by 'make check'
    src/nsstests        - NSS test suite
    nss                 - external NSS library
    ldif                - LDAP schema

DBIS requires Python 2.x (2.4 or later) and the python-ldap module from
http://www.python-ldap.org.  Although dbis-cachemgr should work with any
reasonably modern version of python-ldap, there is a performance enhancement
that is automatically enabled if you are using version 2.4.17 that will reduce
the background load on the CPUs when there are pending LDAP search operations.
If you can use version 2.4.17 or later it is recommended that you do.  If you
can't, earlier versions will work just fine too.

DBIS can output data in JSON format, but requires a Python JSON library
to do that.  It will try UltraJSON (ujson) first and if that is not found
it will attempt to import json instead.  If there is no JSON library
available the server will function but JSON output will be disabled.

For help using the command-line interface, run:
    man dbis

For help using the Python library, run:
    python -c 'import dbis.client; help(dbis.client)'

For help using the Perl library, run:
    perldoc DBIS::Client
    
There is also an extensive Wiki site at http://dbis.sf.net containing
lots of useful documentation.
