A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Kitten (GSS-API Next Generation) Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Desired Enhancements to GSSAPI Version 3 Naming
Author(s) : S. Hartman
Filename : draft-ietf-kitten-gss-naming-04.txt
Pages : 16
Date : 2006-3-7
The Generic Security Services API (GSS-API) provides a naming
architecture that supports name-based authorization. GSS-API
authenticates two named parties to each other. Names can be stored
on access control lists to make authorization decisions. Advances in
security mechanisms and the way implementers wish to use GSS-API
require this model to be extended for the next version of GSS-API.
As people move within an organization or change their names, the name
authenticated by GSS-API may change. Using some sort of constant
identifier would make ACLs more stable. Some mechanisms such as
public-key mechanisms do not have a single name to be used across all
environments. Other mechanisms such as Kerberos may include group
membership or role information as part of authentication. This
document motivates extensions to GSS-API naming and describes the
extensions under discussion.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-kitten-gss-naming-04.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.
