This document describes how to use a Generic Security Service
Application Program Interface (GSS-API) mechanism in the Simple
Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) framework. This is done by
defining a new SASL mechanism family, called GS2. This mechanism
family offers a number of improvements over the previous "SASL/
GSSAPI" mechanism: it is more general, uses fewer messages for the
authentication phase in some cases, and supports negotiable use of
channel binding. Only GSS-API mechanisms that support channel
binding and mutual authentication are supported. [STANDARDS TRACK]
This document is a product of the Simple Authentication and Security Layer Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
