The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) Transport over TCP ' <draft-hollenbeck-rfc4934bis-01.txt> as a Full Standard This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Alexey Melnikov. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-hollenbeck-rfc4934bis-01.txt Technical Summary This set of documents advances EPP to Standard. References have been updated and non-normative text updates have been made. Some clarifications on TLS server sertificate verification were done. Working Group Summary This is the product of an individual submitter, though the working group mailing list of PROVREG (now closed) was used to review the updates to the documents. Document Quality Issues raised by AD review were addressed. There are multiple implementations of the protocol, as described in the implementation report. Personnel Edward Lewis is the document shepherd for this series (draft-hollenbeck-rfc493*bis) of documents. Alexey Melnikov is the responsible Area Director. RFC Editor note: In Section 9, insert a new paragraph after the paragraph starting with "If the server identity check fails". (The new paragraph would be 3rd to the last): During the TLS negotiation, the EPP server MUST verify that the client certificate matches the reference identity previously negotiated out of band, as specified in section 8. The server should match the entire subject name or the subjectAltName as described in RFC 5280. The server MAY enforce other restrictions on the subjectAltName, for example if it knows that a particular client is always connecting from a particular hostname/IP address. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
