A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : EAP-LDAP Protocol
Author(s) : H. Mancini
Filename : draft-mancini-pppext-eap-ldap-00.txt
Pages : 7
Date : 2003-6-26
This document specifies an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
mechanism for a challenge-based authentication using MD5 in
conjunction with the hash algorithm used to store the password
within an identity store.
This document defines the EAP-LDAP method, which provides one-way
authentication and MD5 key generation. As a result, the EAP-LDAP
method, when used by it self, is only appropriate for use on
networks where physical security can be assumed. These methods
SHOULD NOT be used on wireless networks, or over the Internet,
unless the EAP conversation is protected. This can be accomplished
using technologies such as IPsec or TLS.

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
Internet-Draft.
