The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Use of Status-Server Packets in the Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) Protocol ' <draft-ietf-radext-status-server-09.txt> as an Informational RFC This document is the product of the RADIUS EXTensions Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Dan Romascanu and Ron Bonica. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-radext-status-server-09.txt Technical Summary This document specifies a deployed extenion to RADIUS which enables clients to query the status of a RADIUS server. While the Status-Server Code (12) was defined as experimental in RFC 2865 Section 3, details of the protocol's operation have not been documented until now. Working Group Summary This document has completed RADEXT WG last call, with the primary areas of discussion relating to security and ID field usage. The RADEXT WG elected to recommend this document for publication as an Informational RFC rather than as a standards-Track RFC due to concerns about problems with deployed implementations. The fixes recommended within the document are compatible with existing servers that receive Status-Server packets, but impose new security requirements on clients that send Status-Server packets. Document Quality The document has been reviewed by IETF RADEXT WG members. An expert review has been carried out by Ignacio Goyret. Status-Server has been implemented by multiple vendors, including RADIATOR, FreeRADIUS and Cistron. It is currently in use within EDUROAM, an educational roaming consortium with more than one million users worldwide. As a result, the document reflects operational experience. Personnel Bernard Aboba is the document shepherd for this document. Dan Romascanu is the responsible AD. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
