Title : A Method and Protocol for Mapping of Multi-Realm NFSv4
ACE Names to Internal Security Entity Identifiers

NFSv4 Access Control List (ACL) Element (ACE) 'who' names identify
users and groups and support a non-flat namespace where each user and
group belongs to a given domain. Servers usually do not store NFSv4
ACL ACE names but internal forms, often as fixed sized binary values
(e.g., as integers).
For some operating system standards, such as POSIX, those internal
ACE forms have a flat namespace (e.g., from 0 to 2^32 -1). In order
to properly support non-flat NFSv4 ACE names some method is needed to
map ACE names from multiple domains to internal forms. Other

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
