Despite many years of effort, simple username-password authentication
is still prevalent. In many cases a password is the only credential
available to the end user. IKEv2 uses EAP as a sub-protocol for user
authentication. This provides a well-specified and extensible
architecture. To this day EAP does not provide a simple password-
based authentication method. The only existing password
authentication methods either require the peer to know the password
in advance (EAP-MD5), or are needlessly complex when used within
IKEv2 (e.g. PEAP). This document codifies the common practice of
using EAP-GTC for this type of authentication, with the goal of
achieving maximum interoperability. The various security issues are
extensively analyzed.
