The IESG has received a request from the Application Bridging for Federated Access Beyond web WG (abfab) to consider the following document: - 'Name Attributes for the GSS-API EAP mechanism' <draft-ietf-abfab-gss-eap-naming-05.txt> as 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 2012-10-04. 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 The naming extensions to the Generic Security Services Application Programming interface provide a mechanism for applications to discover authorization and personalization information associated with GSS-API names. The Extensible Authentication Protocol GSS-API mechanism allows an Authentication/Authorization/Accounting peer to provide authorization attributes along side an authentication response. It also provides mechanisms to process Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) messages provided in the AAA response. This document describes the necessary information to use the naming extensions API to access that information. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-abfab-gss-eap-naming/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-abfab-gss-eap-naming/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
