The IESG has received a request from the Common Authentication Technology Next Generation WG (kitten) to consider the following document: - 'A SASL and GSS-API Mechanism for SAML' <draft-ietf-kitten-sasl-saml-06.txt> as a Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-01-05. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) has found its usage on the Internet for Web Single Sign-On. Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) and the Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API) are application frameworks to generalize authentication. This memo specifies a SASL mechanism and a GSS-API mechanism for SAML 2.0 that allows the integration of existing SAML Identity Providers with applications using SASL and GSS-API. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-kitten-sasl-saml/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-kitten-sasl-saml/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
