A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : HTTP Authentication: Kerberos Authentication As
implemented in Microsoft Windows 2000
Author(s) : J. Brezak
Filename : draft-brezak-kerberos-http-00.txt
Pages : 6
Date : 2003-11-19
This document describes how the Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE)
and Internet Information Services (IIS) incorporated in Microsoft
Windows 2000 use Kerberos for security enhancements of web
transactions. The Hypertext Transport Protocol (HTTP) auth-scheme of
'negotiate' is defined here; when the negotiation results in the
selection of Kerberos, the security services of authentication and
optionally impersonation are performed.
This document explains how HTTP authentication utilizes the Simple
and Protected GSS-API Negotiation mechanism. Details of SPNEGO
implementation are not provided in this document.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-brezak-kerberos-http-00.txt".
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.
