The IESG has approved the following document: - 'RADIUS Design Guidelines' (draft-ietf-radext-design-19.txt) as a BCP 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://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-radext-design/ Technical Summary This document provides guidelines for the design of attributes used by the Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) protocol. It is expected that these guidelines will prove useful to authors and reviewers of future RADIUS attribute specifications, both within the IETF as well as other Standards Development Organizations (SDOs). Working Group Summary There have been 2 WGLCs on the document. Much of the discussion on the document has centered around the design guidelines surrounding complex attributes, as well as the relationship of the RADIUS Vendor-Specific Attribute (VSA) and the Standard attribute space. There was also considerable discussion relating to the process for review of RADIUS attributes specified by SDOs. Ultimately, a consensus developed behind a model similar to that described in [RFC4663]. Document Quality This is a BCP aiming to help authors and reviewers of future RADIUS attribute specifications. The RADIUS protocol is widely implemented and deployed. The document was extensively discussed in the Working Group and underwent two IETF Last Calls. Gonzalo Camarillow reviewed the document for GenART. Personnel Bernard Aboba is the Document Shepherd, Dan Romascanu is the Responsible Area Director. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
